Deputy Mayor Gary Stanton read the proclamation on the mayor's behalf and presented it to Hoffman Estates Park District representatives.

The proclamation cites the statewide Unplug Illinois campaign and states that communities are encouraged on July 12 to \"ditch their electronic devices and plug into fun and activities at their local park and recreation agencies.\" The text read aloud links unplugging with improved sleep, energy, interpersonal communication and reduced risk of chronic disease.

Representatives from the Hoffman Estates Park District attended the presentation; Park District staff and trustees were introduced by event speakers, including Pat McGinn (title given as \"permission\" in the transcript), Deputy Director Brian Bechtold, Trustee Gary Poloffis and Trustee Pat Kenein. Park District staff thanked the village for the proclamation and encouraged attendees to visit park activities for the afternoon.

The proclamation is ceremonial; no vote or legislative action was recorded at the event.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","The Village of Hoffman Estates Presents The Citizen - August 2025 edition.","oneSentenceSummary","Mayor William D.

A staff member leading the initiative said, \"We're gonna be out here in the village all summer long\" to collect input and urged residents to use the survey and interactive map at www.hellohoffman.com.

The kickoff included a Summer Hang event at Southridge Park. Organizers asked residents what they \"love\" about Hoffman Estates and what they want improved, and said they will document feedback through an online survey and mapping tool. The staff member said the program will appear at multiple events so residents need not travel to a single meeting to provide input.

No formal votes, budget allocations, or policy decisions were taken at the event; officials described Hello Hoffman as a public engagement phase that will feed into the village's comprehensive and strategic planning process.","Village of Hoffman Estates kicked off Hello Hoffman, a summer outreach program and online survey to gather resident input for a new comprehensive and strategic plan.",{"_32":86,"_34":35,"_36":37,"_38":87,"_40":88,"_42":89,"_44":90,"_46":91,"_48":92,"_50":93,"_52":94,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":95,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":96,"_66":-5,"_67":68,"_69":-5,"_70":71,"_72":71},6150258,"Bell Works breaks ground on West Side; Bell Market Cafe opens at Hoffman Estates development",138,348365,486835,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5508793-ed4879dc3faa0651cdfb02b60d580ea1&start=348&end=486","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5508793-ed4879dc3faa0651cdfb02b60d580ea1/thumbnail_348365.jpg","/articles/6150258/Bell-Works-breaks-ground-on-West-Side-Bell-Market-Cafe-opens-at-Hoffman-Estates-development","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6150258-072cbd0944bc9496a5079e5ff3eeb82f/orig.mp4?Expires=1769685348&Signature=mCMhtNkCD87mmltZG6yw6HMuuTXnig9EDkpRquI-6xCr-3a5PgNXa9qbNP2xYis94fZ7Dvm9TWjlcWnbgZIHvuEGuxUSKV-MlesGYioQZ7sTvERpVX6TWnlx-DhSvBT3fJOJ~3HsC3WyRme8gSXqWHA7MOhI0CoavqgUOHXA2GMn4cKmV4QwF19Riv2gSIcdIg4nhZLFdUfiCycGaeV8TNhKwmX02lNsJVxVSer72dPVOi-vT60RDyMYwfkJnPREevI3pHS2JnACNkTX7ZaXQByxngWKsCpAdI81lBvqcrmzFotZwadZuyd67qi8ZfrusdEeXYul-c~IiPTeJZ4hQQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Bell Works Chicagoland has begun demolition and broke ground on the West Side of its Hoffman Estates campus, developer Ralph Zucker said at a ceremony. \"We couldn't have done it alone,\" Ralph Zucker said, thanking village officials and his project team for converting the former AT&T/Ameritech building into a mixed‑use campus.

Mayor William D. McLeod and village leaders praised the project as a re‑use of vacant office space and presented a ceremonial key to Bell Works leadership and to Bell Market Cafe. Mayor McLeod said the project will create a downtown‑like center for Hoffman Estates and noted the East Side of the complex is \"virtually full, over 95% leased,\" a figure Zucker cited as evidence of local demand.

Bell Market Cafe held a ribbon‑cutting during the ceremony. A Bell Market Cafe representative said the venue is a counter‑service food hall with five cuisines, catering services, a coffee shop called Honeybell Bakery and plans for an in‑coming Smash Burgers concept. The representative said the market also offers a build‑your‑own salad and poke bar and a small bar area for evening service.

Speakers emphasized redevelopment and leasing as central goals; no formal municipal approvals or funding decisions were announced at the ceremony. The developer said demolition work has started and leasing activity for the West Side has begun.","Developer Ralph Zucker and village officials marked demolition and ground‑breaking for Bell Works Chicagoland's West Side; Bell Market Cafe held a ribbon cutting and received a ceremonial key to the village.",{"_32":98,"_34":35,"_36":37,"_38":99,"_40":100,"_42":101,"_44":102,"_46":103,"_48":104,"_50":105,"_52":106,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":107,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":108,"_66":-5,"_67":68,"_69":-5,"_70":71,"_72":71},6150263,"About 1,600 runners participate in Hoffman Estates Stars and Stripes race and festival",228,51934,280860,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5508793-ed4879dc3faa0651cdfb02b60d580ea1&start=51&end=280","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5508793-ed4879dc3faa0651cdfb02b60d580ea1/thumbnail_51934.jpg","/articles/6150263/About-1600-runners-participate-in-Hoffman-Estates-Stars-and-Stripes-race-and-festival","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6150263-65ce31f50d72b0e99ae5473e1e715d9f/orig.mp4?Expires=1769685348&Signature=QuMDVs9o~3GVx2SsKlQVCTtOYdbTpXiFstfyyR8kDm~bcOHBA7ZDOgMeXjeCv1VGaXq8OoNW9fx6J7MzRdOQK~tMuuoPI76tt5YoccHMxZefktOJRXzF0zcuq7KSaW7oeUI7PWgfoPa42Z2qbc6hyOJOrY8jwc7RqsIWsnT5q7XTOLRyMatrgVOnLWV3GPqOLqdx88NgpKm5iRhZjSToQBzJeCODzB3VNYH-9k~ud2b2Pp4y49NUaCTgH-~UOGUaSf2l0a3vvZlEjEkfqmP1o3jt50ubQmLMrFSOnev5YIMiqQBmIDs0O7pBqbVhq2Sh~OyBqpdnD3dwX0jdxHCKnQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","About 1,600 people took part in the seventeenth annual Hoffman Estates Stars and Stripes half marathon, 10K and 5K at the community festival, organizers said. Rick Signorawa, host for the August edition of the Hoffman Estate Citizen, opened the event and encouraged participants. \"You got this,\" he told runners at the start.

The event included runners from Hoffman Estates' sister city, Angoulême, France; organizers said two runners from Angoulême participated alongside local team members. Lisa, organizer for the Hoffman Estates Sister Cities Commission running team, said members wearing commission shirts have previously traveled to France to run in partnership with Angoulême.

Organizers and volunteers were singled out for thanks. Linda Sheck was thanked by event speakers for her long-term role organizing the race. The festival also featured vendor tents and promotional booths, including an Illinois corn tent and costumed mascot \"Captain Cornelius,\" which organizers invited finishers to visit after their races.

The festival combined competitive and recreational elements. Event commentary encouraged participants to \"take your time\" and framed the 5K as a fun community run rather than a competitive race. No formal municipal actions or policy decisions were taken during the festival portion of the program.

Less critical details: the festival program included live music and family activities; organizers said they would continue the Stars and Stripes event in future years.","Organizers said about 1,600 people ran the seventeenth annual Hoffman Estates Stars and Stripes half marathon, 10K and 5K; sister‑city runners and community volunteers were highlighted.","actionData","errors"]
