When Do You Fly the Flag at Half-Staff?
Many businesses and corporate spaces opt to fly the American flag to show their patriotism, particularly if they are located in a conspicuous area where the colors will be highly visible. But flying the flag on a regular basis comes with very specific rules and responsibilities listed in the "Flag Code" that must be followed rigorously. The Code enumerates specific events and holidays where the flag must be flown at half-staff, but the president or governor can also order a period of mourning by declaration, which would require the flag to be lowered. Visit the website for more information about flag protocol.

Municipal Aggregation Approved  Following the passage of the referendum on November 6, the village sought proposals from licensed energy consultants to assist the village in negotiations with a certified alternative retail electric supplier. Consultants have submitted proposals and the village is reviewing them. The process of selecting and approving a consultant should be complete by the middle of February. Once the consultant is chosen the village will continue throughout the implementation process as outlined below. The village is planning to host the two public hearings between February and March 2013 to review the Plan of Operations and Governance with residents and small business owners. Please note the Village of Schaumburg has NOT chosen an alternative retail electric supplier and is NOT currently in negotiations with an electric supplier.
Municipal Electric Aggregation Implementation Process: - Referendum passed on November 6
- Review of Consultant's proposals
- Plan of Operations and Governance created & Ordinance (approved at Village Board meeting)
- Two Public Hearings to discuss the village's Plan of Operations and Governance
- Village submits Request for Proposals from Alternative Retail Electric Suppliers
- Alternative Retail Electric Supplier is chosen and contract is finalized
- Residents informed by mail of finalized rate for the supply of electricity
- Eligible residents receive Opt-Out letters from the village
