Public bids have been received for the construction and the recommendation to award it to the low bidder (J.J. Henderson of Gurnee, IL) will be presented to the Village Board November 1st. As it is critical to keep the WRF operating at all times in keeping with the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency requirements, construction is planned to be sequenced over 26 months. Additional project details will be provided as this essential public health project moves forward. Residents will be able to follow this construction through updates on the Village website and newsletter.

Check the Village website, www.deerfield.il.us for event updates. e 2010 Fall Leaf Collection Program The Village’s annual leaf collection program provides residents with an alternative for disposal of their autumn leaves. Residents who do not mulch or bag their leaves may rake leaves to the curb or carriage walk line the night before their scheduled pickup. Beginning the week of October 25 and continuing through November 18, Public Works Department crews will make one pass by all homes in the Village each week during the 4-week program. We ask that you please not put out leaves more than one day prior to your scheduled pickup day. Leaves should be raked in a long neat row that does not exceed 5 feet in width. They should be raked as close to the curb as possible, so long as they are not placed in the street or on top of carriage walks or sidewalks, as this causes safety hazards. Listed below are some helpful reminders for leaf collection: • Do not park your vehicle on the street on the day of your pickup. • Do not mix grass clippings, sticks, rocks, branches, mud or other debris with your leaves. If these items are found, the leaves will not be removed.

The Police De- partment remains victorious, again securing the coveted Stoney River’s Chef’s Coat and appropriate bragging rights for beating the Deerfield-Bannockburn Fire Department’s sauce recipe. Truth be known, there were no losers in the event as close to $1,000 dollars was raised for the Multiple Sclerosis and Juvenile Diabetes Foundations. Special thanks to Jason Yuhasz, Chef and General Manager of Deerfield’s Stoney River, for not only sponsoring the event, but aiding us in preparing the ribs. For those who participated in the blind taste test, the win- ning recipe was designated as the “B” sauce. Thanks to all those who participated. Both rib sauce recipes can be found at the the Vil- lage website, www.deerfield.il.us under the tab labeled Farmers Market. e Volunteers Wanted The Village of Deerfield is seeking enthusi- astic and motivated residents to volunteer on Village boards and commissions. This rewarding experience will provide residents with the opportunity to serve directly alongside Village staff and impact Village matters. For more information or to pick up an application please contact Jennifer Davis, Executive Secretary, at jdavis@deerfield.il.us or call 847/719.7400 e Utility Billing Schedule The Village bills on a quarterly basis for water, sewer, and refuse.

Following the final collection in your neighborhood, remaining leaves must be bagged and a yard waste sticker attached, for regular landscape waste collections on Mondays and Tuesdays. December 13 and 14 will be the final yard waste collections by Veolia this year. For more information, please contact the Public Works Department at 847/317.7245 or visit www.deerfield.il.us. e Leaf Collection Zones This map delineates collection routes and days.

Deerfield Road Pedestrian Underpass Project A bid opening for this project was held on September 30, 2010. The lowest of the four bidders was Herlihy Mid-Continent Com- pany with a cost of $2,406,694. The project was awarded the week of October 11, subsequent to the Village Board of Trustees approval, thereby allowing construction to begin as soon as Metra’s scheduling permits. The Village has been engaged, for several years, in the design engineering and pro- curement of Federal funding for the Pedestrian Underpass Project. The project is intended to provide safe passage for pedestrians wishing to walk/ride along Deerfield Road and traverse the Metra railway via a pedestrian underpass. Through two Federal programs, IDOT will match a substantial portion of the cost for utility relocation, construction, and construction engineering. The Village will be responsible for 20% of the costs of the improvement. The project is expected to be complete by the spring of 2010. e Construction Updates Please refer to the Village’s website www.deerfield. il.us (click “Construction Updates” on the home- page) for additional project information, detour maps and construction updates. If you have questions regarding any of the following projects, please contact Robert Phillips, Assistant Village Engineer, at 847/317.2490, or via email at rphillips@deerfield.il.us. Quick Notes: Carlisle and Carriage Way Infrastructure Replacement Project The Village is pleased to announce that this project has been progessing on schedule and within budget. Carlisle Ave. between the Briarwood Nature Area and Deerfield Road is expected to be completed, with the exception of minor punch-list items, by October 30, 2010. The Contractor has completed the majority of the construction of underground public utilities. Homes on Carlisle Ave. are now connected to the newly installed water main, providing a more reliable water source. A new storm sewer system has been installed to achieve Flood Information: NATURAL & BENEFICIAL FUNCTIONS Floodplains play a valuable role in provid- ing natural and beneficial functions to the area around, and including, Deerfield. Floodplains that are relatively undisturbed provide a wide range of benefits to both human and natural systems. These benefits provide aesthetic appeal as well as impor- tant functions such as filtering nutrients. Parts of both the Middle and West Fork of the North Branch of the Chicago River floodplain are used as a means to filter chemical run-off so that these areas can maintain bio-diversity and ecosystem sustainability. Both floodplains contain historic and archeological sites that provide opportunity for education and study. They enhance waterfowl, fish and other wildlife habitats and provide feeding/breeding grounds. Both floodplains provide natural erosion control and open space so further flooding damage does not occur. DRAINAGE SYSTEM MAINTENANCE Keeping smaller ditches and streams free of debris can dramatically improve the run-off capacity of low-lying areas, as well as greatly reduce incidental blockage that significantly contributes to flooding. Please note that it is illegal to dump materials into a required waterway and violators may be fined. If you see someone in the act of dumping or see debris in one of our watercourses, please contact the Village Engineering Department at 847/317.2490. FLOOD WARNING SYSTEM Many times, flooding along the West and Middle Forks of the North Branch of the Chicago River within Deerfield can be predicted days in advance, giving ample warning for preparation and evacuation. However, in the event of a flash flood due to a large rain event, you may be the first to notice the oncoming situation so please notify the Village Police Department. You may also tune your radio to WGN-720 AM and WBBM-780 AM for local and national weather updates. Announcements will likely be made on local radio and television stations advising you of the situation. vehicles until every street has been cleared. The goal is for every street to be cleared within 6 hours after the snow has stopped coming down. Please remember: by Village ordinance, vehicles may not be parked on the street for 24 hours after 3 inches or more of snow has fallen. Also, you may not deposit snow from your property onto the street or sidewalk. Your cooperation will help us keep the streets clear! Please stay alert and cautious while driving this winter. Sidewalk Snow Removal Residents are asked to please be mindful of pedestrians and school children by clearing their sidewalk of snow and ice. Trash bins should be placed on the driveway apron to keep the sidewalk as unobstructed as possible. e Winter Reminders Winter is on the way! After last year’s high level of snowfall, the Public Works Depart- ment is again prepared to clear the Village’s 72 miles of streets once the snow begins to fly. Public Works operates over 20 pieces of equipment for snow removal. Utilizing a combination of road salt, deicers and plow- ing, crews are able to keep roadways clear and safe for winter travel. Residents should be aware that Public Works does not park its ADDITIONAL INFORMATION If you should require further information regarding flood-related issues in Deerfield, here are some additional sources: • FEMA.gov • Engineering Department, 847/317.2490 • Floodplain FAQ page, www.deerfield.il.us • Deerfield Public Library e boardREPORT communityCALENDAR Page 4 Deerfield Park District Mom & Daughter Glamour Night, November 5 Veteran’s Day~ School’s Out Program, November 11 Family Theater Performances, November 12-14 & 19-21 Barbara Rinella Book Discussion at PTC, November 18 COHO Winter Tryouts, November 22 thru December 3 School In-Service ~ Schools Out Program to “Go Bananas”, November 23 School In-Service ~ Schools Out Program to “Sunshine Crafts”, November 24 Thanksgiving - Offices Closed, November 25-28 Polar Express (register early), December 5 Winter Party at PTC for adults 50 years and up, December 9 Theater D auditions for “Squabbles” (adults 18 and up only), December 9 & 11 Holdiay Happenings & Winter Sports Camps, December 20-23 & 27-30 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: close at 5 p.m. on November 25, be closed all day November 26 and December 24 & 25, close at 5 p.m. on December 31, and remain closed all day January 1.

The Illinois Premise Alert Program supports individuals living with disabilities while aiding public safety personnel to better respond. The Department is creating a database of individuals with special needs that will be secured in the computer aided dispatch (CAD) database and maintained by the Department at the request of families, caregivers, and individuals with disabilities or special needs. The program is free of charge. It will assist us in identifying individuals who have special needs, which will in turn enable us to have additional information at our disposal in order to better serve you. To enroll in this program, forms will be available at Deerfield Village Hall, the Police Department, and the Deerfield Township Office. You can also request a form be mailed to you by contacting Mary Anne Glowacz at 847/945.8636. The second program, the Emergency Contact Database, is managed by the Illinois Secretary of State. It compiles emergency contact information and associates it with your Illinois driver’s license and/or state identification card. In the event of a motor vehicle crash or other emergency situation where a person is unable to communicate directly, law enforcement may access this database to help them reach the person’s designated emergency contacts. If you would like to participate, follow the directions on the Illinois Secretary of State website at www. cyberdriveillinois.com/departments/drivers/ ecd/home.html If you have questions or concerns about either program, please contact the Deerfield Police Department Communications Director, Mary Anne Glowacz at 847/945.8636. e Upcoming Events @ PTC For more information on programs, or to register to be a member, please call the Patty Turner Center (PTC) at 847/940. 4010 or visit www.pattyturnercenter.org.

Improperly sealed homes can waste 10 to 15 percent of the homeowner’s heating dollars. Check Your Insulation Insulate your attic. In an older home, that can be the most cost-efficient way to cut home heating costs. Weather- strip and insulate your attic hatch or door to prevent warm air from escaping. Seal holes in the attic that lead down into the house, such as open wall tops and duct, plumbing, or electrical runs. Check Your HVAC System Routine maintenance and inspection of your heating system each autumn will help make sure it is in good working order. Replace your furnace air filter monthly. Your heating system will use less energy and last longer as a result. Most homeowners can replace filters and do such simple tasks as cleaning and removing dust from vents or along baseboard heaters. Install an electronic thermostat that allows you to automati- cally turn down the heat when you are away at work or when you’re sleeping at night, and then boost the temperature to a comfortable level when you need it. Properly using your set-back thermostat could cut your heating costs significantly. Also, reverse the movement of your ceiling fan blades so they blow upward, toward the ceiling. By reversing the fan’s direction, the blades move air upward. This is especially valuable in rooms with high ceilings, where heat that naturally rises is forced back down into the room. For more information on energy saving tips, visit www.cleanaircounts.org. e Reminders: Trick-or-Treat Hours Trick-or-Treating hours in the Village will be on Sunday, October 31, from 3:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. Have a safe and fun Halloween!
