We made it! What a construction season this has been. Now that the Cook County and Federally funded and subsidized projects have been shut down for the year, it’s time to reflect. The Deerfield Road pedestrian walkway was a one-time civic improvement, joining our west quadrants to our downtown commercial and Village Center, while very significantly improving pedestrian safety under the railroad tracks. This project was made possible through a one-time Federal grant available now, and only now. To our benefit, the walkway will impact the vitality and aesthetics of the Village for decades to come. For safety reasons, two of our bridges over the West Fork creek required replacement this year. Federal funds covered approximately 80% of the work. We don’t foresee additional repairs to these bridges for at least the next 30 years. Additional safety issues along Hazel Avenue and Chestnut Street also needed correction this year. This work was part of our ongoing street maintenance program rather than a one-time improvement, all part of our master plan for keeping Village infrastructure where it needs to be. Continued on Page 2 Tax Levy Approved by Board of Trustees Each year local governments must approve a tax levy ordinance in order to receive property taxes the next year. The ordinance must be adopted before the last Tuesday in December. The Board of Trustees approved the 2011 Real Estate Tax Levy Ordinance at their December 19th meeting. Based on fiscal year 2010/2011 year end results and fiscal year 2011/2012 year to date results, the Village was able to abate (remove) $910,385 of debt service line items from the levy on December 19th and the Village Board is anticipated to approve an additional $996,077 in abatements at the January 3rd meeting. If all anticipated abatements are approved on January 3rd the levy will be reduced by approximately $1.9 million. The anticipated 2011 Village levy, including abatements, is $4,430,702. This represents an increase over the 2010 levy of approximately $859,790. Continued on Page 2 HAPPY NEW YEAR! The Village of Deerfield wishes you a prosperous 2012 villageNEWS Page 2 also have the option to pay $25 and Waste Management will pick up 3 items. Note that only one of the items can be a television and each additional television will cost $25. In addition to the free electronic drop- off centers and Waste Management’s special home pick-up service (fee for this service), residents may want to consider other E-waste recycling and reuse options including the donation of good working equipment to a charitable organization, or taking E-waste to a retail store that accepts electronics for recycling. For more information, please contact Waste Management at 800/796.9696 or email questions to villageofdeerfield@wm.com and a customer service representative will contact you the same day. e West Deerfield Township to Host Employment Clinic On Wednesday, January 25, come to Deerfield Village Hall, 850 Waukegan Road, with your resume, your smile and a winning attitude! Between 9 a.m. - 1 p.m., representatives from Aerotek, a commercial staffing company located in Deerfield, and JVS (Jewish Vocational Services) will be on hand to jumpstart your job search in 2012. JVS has a record of helping clients open doors to employment with one-on-one mentoring and coaching in many fields of employment. Aerotek, located in Parkway North, will come with a listing of current job openings that they are seeking employees for that day. Postings come from a wide range of employment opportunities: machinists, engineering, sale, quality assurance, and customer service just to name a few. The morning will be an open house format, no appointments needed. Walk in and talk with professionals that will point you in the right direction. Its current, its convenient, and its free! For more information, please contact Township Supervisor, Julie Morrison at 847/945.0614 e Tax Levy Continued from Page 1 All of the increase in the tax levy is for debt service on the new Wastewater Reclamation Facility. Construction on this $30 million improvement will take place through 2013. To date, the Village has issued $7.5 million of Build America Bonds (35% of the interest refunded by the Federal government) and $12.5 million of Qualified Energy Conservation Bonds (70% of the interest refunded by the Federal government) to finance the first phase of construction. The Village continues to explore alternative funding sources and maintain its Triple A bond rating to minimize borrowing costs. A Truth in Taxation hearing was required since the increase from the 2010 levy was greater than 5%. Notice of the hearing was published in the Deerfield Review and it was held during the December 5, 2011 Village Board meeting. Individual property tax bills, payable in June and September, are comprised of levies from multiple taxing districts. The Village receives approxi- mately 3% of the total property tax bill. Property taxes, along with other sources of revenue, allow the Village to provide services such as police protection, public works and administration. For more information, please contact the Finance Department at 847/945.5000 or visit www.deerfield.il.us e Electronics Landfill Ban Beginning January 1, 2012 the Illinois Electronic Products Recycling and Reuse Act landfill ban for certain electronic devices will take effect. Under the Act electronic items such as televisions, monitors, computers, fax machines, VCRs, scanners and printers will no longer be allowed in the regular trash. Waste Management drivers will tag any electronic items that cannot be picked up. Residents can call Waste Mangement at, 800/796.9696 and be directed to a free drop-off location in the area. Residents Message from the Mayor Continued from Page 1 Completion this year of the two-year reconstruction of Carlisle Avenue and Carriage Way also was part of our ongoing infrastructure program. Residents there now can breathe easy for years to come. As for Lake Cook road -- what a mess! As most of you know, this is an ongoing Cook County project in which the Village has practically no say. Although we tried to keep residents informed, there were times the County didn’t keep the Village informed, so at times confusion reigned. As we breathe a collective sigh of relief over surviving the headaches, we also must feel a collective commitment to patronize local businesses. Our retail is mostly family operated and while every restaurant and store is suffering to some degree, those along Lake Cook are seemingly suffering the worst. In hope of easing the burden on everyone, we have worked with our State and County representatives in obtaining a one year moratorium on the remaining portion of Lake Cook construction. Beyond that, Village Manager Kent Street, other staff and I have met formally with our Cook County Commissioner, and will continue regularly to do so. We have very few voters in Cook County, so the Village will push to be heard in every other way possible. Thank you to all residents for your necessary tolerance. Next summer should be an easier time individually, and an all-important period of recovery for our retail base. From my family to yours, best wishes for a healthy, happy and prosperous holiday season. Harriet Rosenthal Mayor e publicWORKS Page 3 Snow Plowing Operations Snow removal and roadway ice control operations have been underway since early December. The Village’s Public Works Department is prepared to deal with these situations and is able to effectively clear Deerfield’s 70 miles of roadway quickly to make safe passage possible for all who use our streets. To assist your neighbors and Village staff this winter, please remember the following: • One way to assure that street plows do not fill a cleared driveway entrance with snow is to follow this simple guideline: Shovel the snow to the side, in the direction of traffic, and clear a pocket of snow on the opposite side of your driveway (see the illustration above). The accumulated snow in the plow will dump into the pocket and not on your driveway. This simple procedure will reduce the possibility of residual snow being plowed from the street into your driveway. • By Village Ordinance, vehicles cannot be parked on the street for 24 hours after 3 inches of snow have fallen. Keeping vehicles off the street assists plows and salt trucks in clearing the streets more effectively. The illustration above highlights the best ways to shovel snow to keep your driveway as clear as possible during plowing operations. • By Village ordinance, you may not deposit snow from your property onto the street or sidewalk. This can hinder safe passage of vehicles and pedestrians and make it harder for Village plow crews to keep streets clear. • Adopt a fire hydrant! Remember, when you shovel your sidewalk and driveway, do not forget to clear snow from fire hydrants in front of your property to ensure that they are accessible if needed. • Please remember to shovel an extra area on your driveway apron or parkway to properly stage your refuse and recyling bins for pick-up by Waste Management. e Prevent Damage to Mailboxes During the winter months, mailboxes are sometimes damaged when snow storms affect Deerfield. If your mailbox has been damaged this winter, or if you are planning to install a new one, please be aware of how to properly install a mailbox that meets Postal standards. The majority of mailbox knockdowns result because the post supporting the mailbox has deteriorated or because the mailbox was installed too close to the roadway. A mailbox may extend no less than 12 inches away from the back of the curb or the roadway edge. The mailbox post must be mounted at least 18 inches away from the back of the curb or roadway edge. The post should be strong, but should be able to break away if struck by a vehicle that leaves the pavement. If you decide to install a new mailbox, contact JULIE by dialing 811 before you dig. This will allow you to see any buried utilities so that you will know where they are located. If you have questions regarding your mailbox, please contact the Public Works Department at 847/317.7245 e Sidewalk Snow Removal Residents are asked to please be mindful of pedestrians and school children by clearing their sidewalks of snow and ice. Trash bins should be placed on the driveway apron or parkway to keep the sidewalk as unobstructed as possible. Thank your neighbors for shoveling their sidewalk or remind them to do so, with a friendly smile and cup of coffee or hot chocolate. e boardREPORT communityCALENDAR Page 4 Deerfield Park District Half Day Happenings, Grades 1-8, January 13 MLK Day - School’s Out Program, Grades 1-8, & Kinder (Kindergarteners) Day Off Activity, January 16 Walk-in registration begins and web registration re-opens for summer camps 2012 and for preschool 2012-13, January 23 Golf Mixer, Deerfield Golf Club, February 16 School’s Out Program and Kinder Day Off Activity, January 16 Lottery Registration Deadline for spring/ summer programs, February 24 Daddy Daughter Dinner Dance at Patty Turner Center, February 26 Coming Soon Young Entrepreneurs: Sign up now & sell your stuff at our March 3 Kids’ Flea Market at JCC Golfers: get your foursomes together for the March 7 Permanent Tee Time Golf Lottery at Deerfield Golf Club Register kids (grades 1-8) now for the March 5 Casimir Pulaski Day School’s Out Program & Kinder Day Off Program Moms & Sons sign up soon for our Theater D performances of The Foreigner at Patty Turner Center (March 9-11 & 16-18) For more information or to register for Park District programs, call 847/945.0650, or visit www.deerfieldparkdistrict.org Deerfield Public Library The Library will be: closed all day Monday, Feb. 20. open at 10:00 a.m. on Thursday, Jan. 19 & Wednesday, Feb. 22 The Deerfield Library Board of Trustees meets at 7 p.m. on the third Wednesday of each month.

Accu- mulation may be significant. Snow squalls are best known in the Great Lakes region. Sleet: Raindrops that freeze into ice pellets before reaching the ground. Sleet usually bounces when hitting a surface and does not stick to objects. However, it can ac- cumulate like snow and cause a hazard to motorists. e Request for Comcast Feedback The Village’s Cable and Telecommunica- tions Commission is seeking resident feed- back to assist in its negotiation of a cable franchise renewal with Comcast. The Com- mission is seeking community assistance in identifying future cable-related community needs, interests and review of Comcast’s performance under the franchise during the current franchise term. Due to the rules at both the State and Federal levels, the Village can regulate only certain areas of Comcast service. These areas primarily include Comcast’s cable services, public access stations, customer service related to cable (including penalties and credits), and Comcast’s use of the Village’s Right of Way. The Village’s regulatory powers do not include Comcast’s pricing, channel selec- tion, phone services, internet services, or the ability to enact more stringent customer service standards than are currently in State law. There are several ways in which residents can provide feedback to the Commission: 1. Attend a Cable and Telecommunica- tions Commission meeting. Meetings are held on Tuesdays on an “as needed” basis at 7:00PM in Village Hall. The next Commission meeting is January 31. 2.

During the winter season heating costs can take a toll on your pocketbook, as well as on the environment. Following these simple steps can save you money and help lessen your carbon footprint. • Turn off unused lights and electronics. • Use compact fluorescent light bulbs. • Use a programmable thermostat to lower temperatures when no one is at home. • Take a shorter shower, use a low-flow showerhead, and turn down your water heater by 1-3 degrees. • Increase wall, window, and roof insulation as much as possible. Decreasing your carbon footprint will help contribute to a healthier environment. Deerfield is a proud member of Clean Air Counts, a coalition of governments and private businesses in the Chicagoland area committed to promoting the environment. These simple steps can help you to do your part to make a visible difference in Deerfield! For more information on energy saving tips, visit www.cleanaircounts.org. e communityINFO Page 7 THANK YOU!
