Proposed Village Hall Expansion Unveiled
-
A
"Ulu,
�
The rendering above showcases the
renovation and expansion plans for the
Village Hall, located at 850 Waukegan
Road. The existing Village Hall will remain,
and a two-story wing to the north of the
current building will be constructed with a
one story connection "link" which will serve
as the new entryway and lobby. Currently,
the Village Hall Annex is located in this area
and it will be razed to accomplish this
project.
In addition to significant upgrades in
accessibility, operating systems, and public
meeting space, this expansion has been
examined with consideration of the Village's
longterm space needs. In collaboration with
the Village's architect, Williams Architects,
evaluation of the current structure indicated
that, rather than constructing a completely
new building, the current Village Hall could
be utilized and expanded in a form that was
functional and still aesthetically pleasing.
The building was also designed with
customer service needs in mind. This
expansion brings together virtually all Village
services, except Public Works, under the
same roof for the first time since 1972.
Community Development, Finance and
Administration will be housed in the Village
Hall with easy access to the Police
Department via a new corridor. During
construction, the Community Development
Department will be relocated. Staff is
evaluating options for this move.
The design of the building provides for a
new "community" building, a true Village
77te expanded tillage Hall uill house the Departments
of Community Development, Finance, and
Administration. Groundbreaking is scheduled for spring
of 2006 with occupancy in summer 2007.
Hall that is welcoming to residents and
efficient for elected officials and staff. The
front lawn will have a number of pieces of
public art, including the Centennial
Sculpture, commissioned for the Village's
centennial celebration in 2003, in addition
to benches and a new formal entrance. Steps
have been taken to maintain the classic look
and appearance of the building, while
preserving the beautiful oak trees on the
front lawn of the building.
Expansion has been anticipated for nearly
two decades in a number of planning
documents including the Village's
Comprehensive Plan. Construction will be
paid for with funds from the Village's Tax
Increment Financing District #2.

New Refuse and
Recycling Contract
The Village Board recently
approved a 5-year contract with
Onyx Waste Systems for refuse
and recycling service. The new
contract provides service with
no increase in the refuse
collection rate to the Village for
the first year of the contract.
Initial increases are tied to new
recycling carts. Any increase in
cost to the residents will be
determined by the Board of
Trustees. Currently, the Village
subsidizes the rate charged by
Onyx for refuse collection
service. Highlights of the
contract are below.
Refuse Collection
This contract provides for a
continuation of backdoor refuse
collection service. Residents
may leave garbage cans at the
rear of their houses or at the
top of their driveways for
collection. Those who choose
to may bring refuse to the curb,
but it is not mandated.
Recycling
While refuse collection has not
changed, a significant
difference will be seen in the
way recyclables are collected. A
65-gallon recycling cart will be
provided to each single-family
residence in Deerfield.
Residents who have special
needs and require a smaller
cart may request a 35-gallon
cart. Both carts replace the 18-
gallon bins currently used for
recycling. While the overall size
of these carts may cause some
concern, it should be noted
that their footprint, or the
amount of space that they cover
on the ground, is only slightly
larger than the 18-gallon bins
they replace. Once the new
recycling collection program
begins recyclables will no
longer be collected from the
18-gallon bins. Residents may
"recycle" these bins for other
uses around their home.
The new carts are convenient
and easy to move and have a
lid to help keep items from
blowing out of the container
and littering the neighborhood
Residents no longer have to
sort their recyclables - all
materials can be co -mingled in
one cart. These carts, like the
bins, must be brought to the
se Contract "at a glance":
The 5-year contract includes refuse, recycling and yard waste
collection.
Backdoor refuse collection will continue for all residents. Recycling
and yard waste collection remain at the curb.
A new recycling program will be rolled out, with 65-gallon recycling
carts replacing existing 18-gallon bins.
The new 65-gallon recycling carts are approximately 40" tall and
23" square at the base compared to recycling bins currently in use
which have a base approximately 22" wide and 16" deep. The
footprints of each`are very similar. The smaller 35-gallon cart has a
slightly smaller base and is approximately 6" shorter than the 65
gallon cart.
Landscape waste stickers will remain at $1.60. Bundled brush must
have a sticker affixed in order for it to be collected.
curb for collection, where a
semi -automated operation will
empty each cart into the
collection truck. While recycling
collection remains once per
week, due to the larger size and
lid features of these carts,
individual usage may allow you
to take your recycling to the
curb only every other week or
even once per month. These
carts, which are used in many
neighboring communities, also
help to encourage recycling as
their large size allow them to
hold more recyclables.

Construction Update Leaf Pickup
Program
KJ With the winter
months
approaching, the
Village is
concluding a very intensive
construction season.
Construction is never
convenient, but the public
works and engineering staff
appreciate residents' and
visitors' patience during this
period of construction. Below
are some final updates on
projects. Other information can
be found on the Village's
website at iviv►v.deerfield-il.org.
Deerfield Road
The project is on schedule to
be completed near the end of
November, including final work
on the roadway, as well as
landscaping restoration.
Stratford Road
Stratford Road reopened to
two-way traffic in late October;
however, the final asphalt layer
will be applied in the spring.
Landscaping restoration will
continue through the month of
November. -o-
Sump Pumps
Do you know where your sump
pump water goes? It is
important for you and your
neighbors to make sure it goes
only into a storm sewer pipe,
otherwise it may cause
basement flooding. Rain or
storm water has to be kept out
of the sanitary sewer where it
can cause overflows or
"surcharging". If you are
uncertain which sewer your
sump pump is connected to,
please contact the public works
department at 847/317-7245
or via e-mail dfldpwOdeerfleld-
il.org to make an appointment
with a sewer department
representative. ao-
publicWORKS
The Village's annual leaf
collection program continues
through November 17. Please
do not put out leaves more
than one day prior to your
scheduled pickup day.
Remember.
Vacuum hose machines are
used to pick up leaves. Do not
rake grass clippings, sticks,
rocks, branches or mud to the
curb with your leaves. These
materials clog and damage the
equipment used for collecting
leaves. If these items are found,
the leaves will not be removed.
Remember.
Leaves should be raked into
neat piles, as close to the curb
as possible. Remember that
leaves may not be placed in the
street or on carriage walks or
sidewalks. Doing this causes
safety hazards to pedestrians
and drivers.
Remember.
Following the final pickup in
your neighborhood during the
week of November 14, all
remaining leaves must be
bagged and a yard waste sticker
adhered for regular refuse
collections on Mondays and
Tuesdays. December 12 and 13
will be the last yard waste
pickups this year. The Village
will not collect any leaves after
the collection program has
concluded.
For more information on the
leaf pickup program, as well as
a detailed map outlining the
leaf pickup day for your
neighborhood, please log on to

Get Ready for
Winter!
As the weather grows colder
and the days grow shorter, we
are reminded that winter is on
the way! With winter comes
snow, and the Village's Public
Works Department is again
prepared to clear the Village's
70 miles of streets. Public
Works utilizes over 20 pieces
of equipment for snow removal.
When the snow starts to fall,
salt trucks are the first to
respond. If less than 2 or 3
inches fall, the salt trucks alone
can handle the storm. The
Village uses approximately
3,000 to 4,000 tons of salt
every year to help keep the
streets safe. If salt alone can
not keep the streets clear, all
additional snow equipment is
called out and put into service.
Residents should be aware that
Public Works does not park its
vehicles until every street has
been cleared. The goal is for
every street to be cleared within
6 hours after the snow stops.
The Village takes pride in its
dedicated Public Works staff
who work to maintain safe and
clear roadways for residents
and visitors to Deerfield.
Remember. By Village
ordinance, vehicles cannot be
parked on the street for 24
hours after 2 inches of snow
has fallen. Also, you may not
deposit snow from your
property on to the street or
sidewalk. Your cooperation will
help us keep the streets clear!

Sewer System Rate
*Increase
As part of the recently
completed Sanitary Sewer
System Evaluation, a rate
increase to fund the operations
and capital costs of the
Village's sewer system,
including the wastewater
treatment facility, was
recommended. The least
expensive alternative, to
maintain and replace necessary
equipment in the existing
facility using the processes in
place, resulted in a projected
rate increase from the current
$1.90 per 100 cubic feet of
water billed to $3.66.
The components of this rate
increase include approximately
$2,500,000 per year for
operating costs and just over
$1,000,000 for debt service
•on the expected total capital
costs. The Village Board
requested that staff present
alternative rate structures and
other funding mechanisms to
provide for this funding.
A number of alternatives were
considered by the Board at a
workshop meeting in August.
These included a pure rate
increase as indicated above; a
blend of rate increase and
other sources, specifically
property taxes; use of General
Fund balance to partially offset
the capital costs; or instituting
a base charge for all users;
and changing the rate structure
currently in place.
The Village currently uses a
sewer rate for single-family
residences based on a "winter
quarter" usage. That is, the
amount of water used during
She billing quarter that
contains January usage is the
amount of sewer usage that is
billed for the remaining three
quarters of the year. The intent
is to offset the occasional
heavier use of water during the
warmer months (typically for
landscape watering) that does
not end up in the sanitary
system.
The Village Board requested
that the staff present
amendments to the sewer rate
ordinance that would eliminate
the winter quarter billing
method, raise the rate to offset
the operating costs, and use an
increase in the property tax rate
to service the debt necessary
for the capital costs for the
system improvements.
The required rate increase in
this scenario is $1.00 to $2.31,
or 21.6%. The proposed
increase in the property tax rate
would be $0.09, or 37%. The
effect on the user in the Village
depends on the amount and
usage habits of the household,
along with the value of the
property with regards to the
property tax. An analysis of
actual users indicates that the
actual increase in sewer charges
paid ranges from 16% to 60%.
Questions may be directed to
the Finance Department at
8471945-5000.
Senior Taxi Service
Seniors and disabled Deerfield
residents are reminded that the
Village provides subsidized taxi
service. The discount entitles
the rider to $.50 in -town fares,
a special discount to and from

Engraved Bricks for
Deerspring Pool
The Deerfield Park Foundation is
launching its first phase of "Buy -A -
Brick for Deerspring Pool" for the
brick entryway to be installed at the
pool in 2006. Forms to purchase
engraved bricks may be obtained at
the Deerfield Park District, 836
Jewett Park Drive, in Deerfield, by
calling 847/945-0650, by sending
an email to darla@dipd.org, or by
sending a fax to 847/945-0699.
Wording procedures and policies
may arise and, in that event, will
be mailed to brick purchasers. A
4" x 8" engraved brick is $50.
Multiple bricks for longer messages
may be purchased and can be laid
out in adjacent placements. This
has been a popular trend for
thanking team coaches, troop
leaders and others. An 8" x 8"
paver is $500. Pavers have been a
popular choice for local community
service groups and clubs, as well
as businesses and corporations.
Exciting renovations for Deerspring
Pool that can be enjoyed by the
entire community are scheduled to
be completed before the beginning
of the 2006 pool season. New
amenities include a zero -depth
wading pool and a new drop slide,
as well as a new spray/splash pad
area that can be open to the public
in early summer and in the fall,
before and after the regular pool
season. The park district is also
completing a series of
improvements for the pool, such as
replacing the pool's 30+-year old
filter system, underground piping
and concrete deck.
