Administration Department

Village Administrator: Valerie Salmons
Assistant Village Administrator: Paula Schumacher

The Village operates with a Board of Trustees and a Village Administrator. Policymaking and legislative authorities are vested in the Board of Trustees. The Village Administrator is responsible for carrying out the Board’s policies and overseeing the day-to-day operations of the Village.

The Administration Department provides general administrative services for the Village as a whole. The staff works directly with the Village Board and directs all Village departments. Additional duties include the recycling program, the health inspection program, the monitoring of municipal franchise agreements and managing the Bartlett Farmers Market.

The Administration Department also includes the History Museum curator who designs new exhibits, records museum inventory, and presents educational programs to increase awareness of local history. The Bartlett History Museum is housed on the first floor of the Village Hall.

A Community Relations Coordinator is responsible for, among other things, production of the Bartletter (the bi-monthly newsletter mailed to every Village household), maintenance of the Village cable station, and writing various news releases. A full time Health Inspector monitors business and residential sanitation including weed control.

Construction Activities at the
Hawk Hollow Forest Preserve
If you have questions or you would like to discuss the construction activities underway at the Hawk Hollow Forest Preserve, please feel free to call:

Peter Vagt:  312-831-3466, MWH, Contractor to Forest Preserve District of DuPage County

Summary of the Project

  • For the next few months, there will be truck traffic accessing the Hawk Hollow Forest Preserve Site from South Bartlett Road and there will be soil grading activities on the site. In addition, some trees on the property will be removed.
  • The trucks will be bringing clean soil into the site which will be spread to construct a two-foot thick soil cover across over most of the 30 acre site. 
  • The Forest Preserve District of DuPage County has worked with the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency on the plan to cover the site with soil in order to eliminate the chance of public exposure to the existing surface soil.
  • The cover is being installed as a voluntary remediation for the site in order to bring the site into compliance with regulatory standards.
  • The work has been designed to avoid risk to public safety.
  • The Forest Preserve District of DuPage County is looking forward to completing the cover so that the fence can be taken down and the site can be open to public access.
