WRF Replacement Project
On October 18th, the Village Board approved
a construction/inspection services contract
with Strand Engineering for the Wastewater
Reclamation Facility replacement project.
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.
For more information, please contact the
Director of Public Works at 847/317.7245 or

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.

2nd Annual Rib Cook-
Off
The 2nd annual Police vs. Fire Rib Cook-
Off took place Saturday, October 2, 2010 at
Deerfield’s Farmers Market. 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

Continued from Page 1
• Try to put leaves out each week, if
possible, so that crews are not overloaded
at the end of the program.
• If a crew starts to pick up in an area
before they are scheduled to do so, they
will also return on the scheduled day.
• Inclement weather may delay pickups,
but crews will make at least four trips
through your neighborhood.
• Do not rake leaves near sewer inlets
as doing so can contribute to street
flooding.
• Motorists should not park on top of
or close to leaf piles as warm exhaust
systems can ignite a fire.
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.

Public Works Department at 847/317.7245

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.

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

Emergency Information
Programs
There are two new programs sponsored
by the State that the Police Department
wants Deerfield residents to be aware of:
the Illinois Premise Alert Program and the
Illinois Secretary of State, Emergency Contact
Database.
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

Winter Energy Saving
Tips
To ensure your energy dollars are being
used wisely this winter:
Check for Leaks
Weatherstripping and caulking are prob-
ably the least expensive, simplest, most
effective ways to cut down on energy
waste in the winter. 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.

tips, visit www.cleanaircounts.org. e

to take this opportunity to thank those currently serving for
the sacrifices they are making for our country. If you have
a family member serving on active duty anywhere in the
world, please consider participating in the historic Blue Star

Legion will provide you with either a blue star banner or a
removable blue star window decal to display to others your
pride in your family member for serving. Support your
military personnel and your own patriotism; contact the
Legion at 847/945.9821. As a Veterans Day tribute, the
Legion will hold a public ceremony at 11:00 a.m. on
Thursday, November 11th at the Veterans Memorial

forces is not listed on the display banner, we ask that you

businesses and the people that provide goods & services. The businesses become
neighbors and a human face is put on the service you receive.
3. … Protects the Environment
Shopping local supports a more “green-friendly” community. By keeping your
