We are blessed with activist residents at all levels of public involvement and debate. By pulling together and with intelligent compromise, we have continued Deerfield’s place as a safe and invigorating community in which to live, work, shop and play. This past year marked several major milestones. First, following a positive public referendum, we joined with several neighboring communities in seeking out an alternative to ComEd as our electrical provider. Although still employing ComEd’s wires, the sparks now come from a third- party aggregator, with first year savings to our residents estimated at $2.3 million. Second, reconstruction of our over 60 year-old Wastewater Reclamation Facility is nearing completion. This is the Village’s largest public works project ever, a culmination of many years’ examining alternatives, planning, bidding, and oversight. Large credit goes to our Public Works Department, without whom the consulting and contracting teams engaged for the job would have been nowhere as successful. With special thanks to the efforts of State Senator Susan Garrett, and with appreciation of the Village’s coveted Aaa bond rating, overall financing came in at a very low 2.02% to the Village’s residents. 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 2012 Real Estate Tax Levy Ordinance at their December 17th meeting. Based on fiscal year 2011/2012 year-end results and fiscal year 2012/2013 year-to- date results, the Village was able to abate (remove) $1,361,226 of debt service line items from the levy on December 17th. The 2012 Village levy, including abatements, is $5,101,429. This represents an increase over the 2011 levy of approximately $670,727. 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.

The Village of Deerfield wishes you a prosperous 2013 villageNEWS Page 2 Library Expansion and Remodeling: Annual Cost to Taxpayers Will Be Lower Than Expected On behalf of the Deerfield Public Library, the Village of Deerfield sold the remainder of the building project bonds in December to fund the Library construction. The first series of bonds was sold in 2011. At the time of the November 2010 referendum, Library consultants projected that taxpayers would pay about $88 annually to fund the project. However, thanks to advantageously low interest rates and the Village’s Aaa bond rating, it is now anticipated that taxpayers will pay about $76 to $79 each year (based on a home valued at $500,000). The bond issuance is structured to provide as flat a payback rate as possible over the 20 year life of the bonds. At the current time, the Library building project is on-time and on-budget, and the main Library is expected to reopen in June, 2013. The Library is currently located in a temporary facility at 7 N. Waukegan Road, in Cadwell’s Corners. For more information, please contact the Deerfield Public Library at 847.945.3311 e Appointment of Finance Director At the December 17, 2012, Board meeting Village Manager Kent Street appointed Eric Burk as Village Finance Director. Mr. Burk has served as the Acting Finance Director since July 1, 2012, and was originally hired as Assistant Finance Director in June, 2006. Mr. Burk was born and raised in Rantoul, Illinois. He graduated with a bachelor’s degree in accounting from Illinois State University and received an M.B.A., from Northern Illinois University. Mr. Burk is a Certified Public Accountant and a Certi- fied Public Finance Officer. He previously worked as Accounting Manager at the Village of Palatine. For more information, please contact the Finance Department at 847.945.5000 e From school PTOs, to youth sports programs, to Village advisory boards and commissions, to religious congregations, to scout leaders, to DHS School Chest, to medical and service providers, to service clubs…Wow! To every community minded volunteer, thank you for making Deerfield the wonderful community that we are. From my family to yours, best wishes for a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year. Harriet Rosenthal Mayor e Tax Levy Continued from Page 1 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 construction improvements. The Village diligently explored alternative funding sources and maintained its Aaa bond rating to minimize borrowing costs. A Truth in Taxation hearing was required since the increase from the 2011 levy was greater than 5%. Notice of the hearing was published in the Deerfield Review and it was held during the December 3, 2012, 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 4% 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 Message from the Mayor Continued from Page 1 Third, the wheels are in motion for redevelopment of the Deerbrook shopping center. Owners, owner representatives and developers all have had a hand in the mix of ideas currently on the table, and they alone will determine when information is to be made public. Be assured that the Village staff and I are staying close to the talks. There is a fine balance between quality of planning, construction and tenants, and financing of the risk capital required for this and the Cadwell’s Corners project to come. Rest assured that public hearings will be held as plans solidify, and Deerfield interests become more definable. In addition to these milestones, the Village has continued my initiative of reaching out to elected officials of the School Districts, Park District, and other local and township taxing authorities to better coordinate financing and operations. This allows us to better know and cooperate with one another as opportunities arise for overall benefit to the Village’s residents. Our ongoing schedule for infrastructure maintenance and renewal continues at a planned pace. Roads, sidewalks, bridges, and sewers all require continual upkeep. Our annual budgeting process is designed to prioritize the load so that no one year is overly burdened, with our General Fund reserve available to smooth the effects of abnormalities. We welcomed a number of new businesses into the Village this past year. In addition, we recognized 28 downtown businesses operating here for over 20 years, and plan to extend this recognition program to the balance of our business districts. Overall, we compare well with our neighboring communities during this period of a slow and very competitive national economy. Finally, please join me and my Village Board colleagues in thanking the many other Deerfield residents who continue to volunteer their talented efforts. publicWORKS Page 3 Snow Plowing Operations The Village’s Public Works Department is prepared for snow and is able to effec- tively clear Deerfield’s 70 miles of roadway quickly to make safe travel 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, along with the direction of traffic, and clear a pocket of snow on the opposite side of your driveway (see the illustra- tion above). The accumulated snow in the plow will dump into the pocket and not on your driveway. This simple procedure will reduce the amount of snow being plowed from the street into your driveway. Keeping vehicles off the street assists • plows and salt trucks in clearing the streets more effectively. As a reminder, vehicles cannot be parked on the street for 24 hours after 3 inches of snow have fallen, per Village Ordinance. The illustration above highlights the best area to place snow to keep your driveway as clear as possible during Village 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 recycling 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 must be at least 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 know where buried utilities are located. If you have questions regarding your mailbox installation, please contact the Public Works Department at 847.317.7245 e Sidewalk Snow Removal Residents are asked to please be considerate of pedestrians and school children by clearing sidewalks of snow and ice. Trash bins should be placed on the driveway apron or parkway to keep the sidewalk unobstructed. 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 Holiday Happenings at Jewett Park Com- munity Center & Sports Camps at Sachs Recreation Center, January 2 & 4 Half Day Happening at Jewett Park Com- munity Center, January 16 Four Hands Piano Concert at PTC, January 18 MLK Day - School’s Out Program at Jewett Park Community Center, January 21 AARP Tax Aide Assistance begins at PTC, February 5 Deerfield Fireman’s “Chili Bowl” at PTC, February 7 Daddy Daughter Dinner Dance at PTC, February 10 Spring Golf Mixer at Deerfield Golf Club, February 12 Half Day Happening at Jewett Park Community Center, February 15 President’s Day - School’s Out Program at Jewett Park Community Center, February 18 Institute Day - School’s Out Program at Jewett Park Community Center, February 19 Chinese New Year Luncheon at PTC, February 22 For more information or to register for Park District programs, call 847.945.0650, or visit www.deerfieldparkdistrict.org Deerfield Public Library Children Baby Lapsit Storytime, January 11 & 25, and February 8 & 22 Fun For Ones, January 8,15, 22, 29, and February 5 & 12 Time for Twos, January 10, 17, 24, 31 and February 7 & 14 Preschool Pals, Mondays, January 7, 14, 21, 28 and February 4, & 11 Ready to Read - Four and Fives, Wednesdays, January 9, 16, 23, 20 and February 6 & 13 After School Stories, Thursdays, January 10, 17, 24, 31 and February 7 & 14 The Yuckiest, Stinkiest, Best Valentine Ever, Friday, January 18 Adult Programs Guess the Grammys Contest, January 2 - February 9 Got e-reader questions?

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 Yellow Pages Opt-Out Consumer Choice Developed in partnership between the Local Search Association and the Association of Directory Publishers, www. YellowPagesOptOut.com provides an easy and secure way for residents to control the number of Yellow Pages telephone directories they receive or to stop directory delivery entirely. It is a completely free service. The Internet-based tool is specifically designed to prevent directories from being delivered to anyone who doesn’t want one while ensuring that they are delivered to the majority of consumers who continue to rely upon and use the print Yellow Pages to make purchases supporting the local business community and economy. It is a significant and unified commitment on behalf of directory publishers of which the positive impacts are already being realized in many communities around the country.

Winter Storm Watches are usually issued 12 to 36 hours before the beginning of a winter storm. Winter Storm Outlook: Issued prior to a Winter Storm Watch. The Outlook is given when forecasters believe winter storm con- ditions are possible, and are usually issued 48 to 60 hours in advance of a winter storm. Blizzard Warning: Issued for sustained or gusty winds of 35 mph or more with falling or blowing snow creating visibilities at or below 1/4 mile; these conditions should persist for at least three hours. Lake Effect Snow Warning: Issued when lake effect snow is expected to occur. A Lake Effect Snow Advisory also cautions for the possibility of snow. Wind Chill Warning: Issued when wind chill temperatures are expected to be less than 34 degrees below zero. communityINFO Thank you - From the Police Department The Police Department would like to thank the community for its generosity and support throughout 2012. With your help, the Deerfield Police Department raised over $3,000 for the American Cancer Society, over $15,000 for the Illinois Special Olympics, gathered and donated a truckload of toys for the Marine’s Toys for Tots, and collected dozens of bags of food for the West Deerfield Township Food Pantry. We look forward to the year ahead and our role in community charity endeavors. On March 2, 2013, the Police Department will be participating in the Law Enforcement Polar Plunge, which will be held at Sunrise Beach in Lake Bluff. More than a dozen personnel have committed to jumping into the frigid waters of Lake Michigan, all in the name of raising funds for the Special Olympics. Each participant must raise a minimum of $75 in sponsorship funds. If you would like to contribute, please contact Communications Director Mary Anne Glowacz, at 847.945.8636 or via email at mglowacz@deerfield.il.us e Unsolicited Chari- table Donations The Deerfield Police Department historically has taken the position to not endorse any organization that so- licits funds or services over the phone. The Police Department urges people interested in donating to any group or charity to research the group and then contact the organization by calling known and published phone numbers and addresses. It is advisable to not donate funds, agree to services or give personal information to any call that is unsolicited. e As the industry’s official website to manage requests, all Local Search Association and Association of Directory Publishers member companies are committed to honoring requests made through the Opt-Out web portal. Information gathered through the site will not be sold to third-parties and will be used solely to update publishers’ delivery information.

Click the link embedded in the email to confirm your request. Notes from the Sustainability Commission This year, the Sustainability Commission has worked on three important Village policies: 1. Composting Regulation—The Village of Deerfield now has a comprehensive ordinance that lays out specific guidelines for backyard composting. This ordinance protects residents from unsightly or poorly managed compost piles while supporting best practices for managing residential yard waste at home. 2. Commercial Waste Hauling—The Village is working hard to create a more cost-effective and environmentally responsible program for waste hauling for its commercial sector. The Commission recommended that the Village Board direct staff to move forward with a request for proposals to hire a single waste hauler for the commercial sector. Assuming prices come back favorably, within the next two years Deerfield will be able to contract with a single waste hauler for its businesses as it does for its residences. The anticipated advantages include increased recycling levels and lower costs to our businesses. 3. Construction Debris Recycling—A large percentage of the debris from home-building and remodeling of commercial facilities can be recycled. A proposal will go to the Village Board in January that will require builders of projects of a certain size to recycle at least 50% of the construction debris with the requirement moving to 75% in the second year. Recycling construction debris is a win-win; it is cost-effective for contractors and reduces the burden on our landfills.

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!
