Mayor’s Message
While many in our
community have been
tested for Covid-19, over
the past nearly nine months
all of us have been tested by
Covid-19. It has tested our
patience, our resolve, and
our empathy toward others.
Living through a pandemic is hard. It’s hard
being a parent with virtual learning. It’s hard
being a teacher with virtual learning. It’s
hard looking for a job, working remotely, and
working in person while trying to follow all
of the guidelines. We miss friends, family,
homecoming, community events, hugs and
handshakes.
As the days get shorter and the weather gets
colder, we can bring light and warmth to one
another in the way we interact. Let’s focus on
empathy in our community. Empathy is not
trying to solve all of the world’s problems,
nor is it having to feel sorry for everyone’s
troubles. Empathy is realizing the person on
the other side of the mask, other side of the
Zoom, or other side of the phone could be in
a very different emotional state than you are.
Remember, kindness, too, is contagious. And
not even a mask can keep it from spreading.
As we watch the leaves change into vibrant
reds and yellows, let us be reminded to show
our true colors. We can bring brightness to
one another in the way we interact.
Please continue to check in with your friends
and neighbors, and take some time to check
in on yourself. For those who need assistance,
the Lake County United Way’s 2-1-1 service
and the Village’s Rapid Response Network
webpage can help direct you to local
resources. #DoItForDeerfield.
Best,
Harriet

Moody’s Aaa Bond Rating
Moody’s Investors Service assigned a Aaa
stable rating to the Village’s upcoming
General Obligation Refunding Bonds on
October 2.
The Village Board voted October 19 to
refund the 2010 General Obligation Bonds
at a lower interest rate. The refunding is
expected to save a total of $899,861 over the
next 10 years. The refunding does not extend
the original time frame of the 2010 bonds.
No new debt is included in the refunding
issue and the proposed 2021 property tax levy
is flat.

budget, contact the Finance Department at

Ways to Avoid Large
Water Bills
Many residents have reached out to the
Village regarding higher than usual water
bills. The Finance Department reported
that most residents are seeing larger bills
due to a very dry summer, sprinkler and
toilet leaks, and higher personal use for
those staying at home due to COVID-19.
Residents with yard sprinkling systems
are experiencing higher water usage after
one of the hottest and driest Chicago-
area summers on record. Residents with
these systems are encouraged to use
their system’s settings to water less often
or disable it on days when it is raining.
Cutting the grass longer can help keep
water in the ground/less evaporation. In
some cases underground leaks or broken
sprinkling heads cause higher water bills.
If soggy areas of the yard are noticed this
could be a sign of a leak or over watering. A
sprinkling company can check the system
for leaks.
People with sprinkling systems can install
a deduct meter at their own cost. As the
sewer charge is directly related to how
much water is used, if you have a deduct
meter, you do not pay any sewer costs on
the water that runs through the sprinkling
system. A permit and deduct meter
must be obtained from the Community
Development Department.
Another frequent cause for increased water
use is leaking toilets. If you hear your toilet
running or filling when it’s not been used,
it is leaking. In most cases, the repair is
easy. A leaking toilet never gets better and
can slowly begin to increase the bill but can
also climb rapidly depending on the issue.
If you are unsure if it’s leaking or don’t have
time to address it promptly if you know it
is leaking, the toilet can be shut off at the
shut off valve underneath the toilet.
For more information, contact the Finance
Department, at 847.945.5000. e
We are pleased to announce that the
Village of Deerfield and six neighboring
communities in the North Shore Electric
Aggregation Consortium (NSEAC) are
offering residents and small business
customers with community solar
subscription options through the CS2
Program. The program is a partnership
with the Metropolitan Mayors Caucus
to provide residents an opportunity
to support new renewable energy
development in northern Illinois while
reducing monthly utility costs.
With Community Solar, a typical home
(using 1,000 kWh’s per month) can
support the deployment of 30 solar panels
at a community solar farm and secure
as much as $130 per year in their net
metering credit value.
Residents can visit www.
northshorecommunitysolar.com to place their
names on the CS2 Program reservation list
to purchase a share of electricity generated
by an authorized solar farm.
Once community solar projects are
completed, residents on the reservation list
will be informed that they can complete
the subscription enrollment process on
a first come-first served basis. There is
no cost for residents to place their name
on the reservation list, and residents can
remove their name from the reservation list
at any time.
Once enrolled, the resident will begin
receiving net metering credits on their
monthly ComEd bills for their share of the
electricity generated by the Community
Solar project. The projected savings are
equivalent to approximately 20 percent
of the monthly electric supply charges on
their bill, estimated at $55 annually for a
multi-family electric service account and
$130 per year for a single-family residence.
MC-Squared Energy Services, LLC – the
billing administrator of the CS2 Program
- will bill you for 80% of the net metering
credits – leaving the subscriber with 20% of
all net metering credits.
Your monthly bill from MC Squared
Energy Services, LLC will also report
how your participation impacts the
environment each month.
Residents may terminate their subscription
at any time at no charge by simply
notifying MC-Squared Energy Services.
For more details you can also view the CS2
Program Frequently Asked Questions at:
www.deerfield.il.us/communitysolar.
Residents were mailed a copy of the
postcard below inviting all Deerfield
households to join the project waitlist. e

Police Department
Unveils New Uniforms
The Deerfield Police Department last
month debuted the new and improved blue
police officer uniform.
Deerfield police officers have worn a tan
and green uniform since Chief Peterson
selected it in the early 1950s. Since that
time, the Department uniform has had
some changes; including a new patch design
in the 70s, new badge designs, a shirt style
carrier for the ballistic vests, and swapping
the brown jackets for black. But for almost
70 years the tan and green remained.
While our uniforms did set us apart
from other agencies, the colors limited
our apparel options and were becoming
increasingly hard to find in stock. After
much consideration, and with years of
planning, the decision was made to switch
to a more accessible uniform color.
No matter the colors we wear, our mission
remains the same and we will continue to
serve and represent Deerfield with pride. e
Hide. Lock. Take.
The Village of Deerfield and neighboring
communities have experienced an increase
in reports of burglary to motor vehicles.
In most cases these crimes are committed
in unlocked vehicles. Car burglaries are
crimes of opportunity and failing to lock
your vehicle makes it a target for thieves. A
vehicle can be burglarized or stolen while
on your street, in your driveway, or in a
parking lot —even if it is only unattended
for a short time. Every time you exit your
vehicle, remember to Hide, Lock, Take.
• Hide (or remove) your valuables
• Lock your car doors
• Take your keys
Other safety precautions include keeping
the car windows closed, removing the
garage door opener from your vehicle,
keeping your garage door closed, and
locking the interior door to your home from
the garage.
If you see something, say something.
Remain vigilant and report any suspicious
people, vehicles, or circumstances to the
Police at 9-1-1 or 847-945-8636. e
Life-Saving Awards
On September 29, Officer Kasey Kuhlers
was presented with a Life-Saving Award
from the Federal Railroad Administration
at the Deerfield Village Hall. The award
was in recognition of his efforts on July 9,
2020, when he signaled to a train engineer
from his squad car because a car was stuck
on the tracks up ahead. The engineer saw
the Officer’s flashing lights and signals and
stopped the train preventing a potentially
deadly train/vehicle collision. Officer
Kuhlers was also featured on CBS Chicago
News along with a Glenbrook North
student who first saw the vehicle stuck on
the tracks and called 9-1-1.
As part of a new recognition program
within the Police Department, Deerfield
Police Officers were presented with
Life-Saving Award pins in October 2020.
Any Officer who has previously received
an Honorable Mention or Department
Commendation for Life-Saving Actions was
presented with a pin to wear as part of their
duty uniform. The pins show the number
of life-saving instances that Officer has been
recognized for - one, two, three, four or a
star representing five or more. A total of 23
Officers received pins for 43 instances of
saved lives. e
Unemployment
Insurance Identity
Theft Fraud
Identity thieves and hackers have long
known how to use stolen identities to
commit fraud – for example, open a new
credit card or file a false tax return – and
criminals using stolen identities to defraud
public assistance programs is not new. In
fact, such schemes are so pervasive that
federal rules require Illinois to have staff
dedicated to preventing and stopping
fraudulent activity in the Unemployment
Insurance (UI) system.
How can you spot unemployment
insurance identity theft?
You receive a debit card or an
unemployment insurance letter (UI
Finding) and have not filed a claim for
benefits. You are notified by your employer
that a claim for benefits has been filed
when you have not been separated from
employment. You attempt to file a claim
online and one already exits. You receive
IRS correspondence regarding unreported
UI benefits. You receive notice of a State or
Federal tax offset.
If you suspect a claim has been submitted
using your information, and you have
not applied for unemployment insurance
benefits in Illinois, take steps as follows:
Call the Illinois Department of
Employment Security Benefit Payment
Control Division at 800.814.0513. Do
not activate the debit card that was mailed
to you. Do not contact KeyBank, which
issues the debit cards. Destroy the card.
Request your free credit reports via www.
annualcreditreport.com and review them for
other fraudulent activities. e

Snow Plowing
Operations
The Village’s Public Works Department is
prepared for snow and is able to effectively
clear Deerfield’s 70 center-line 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:
• Keeping vehicles off the street assists
plows and salt trucks in clearing the
streets more effectively.
• Vehicles cannot be parked on the street
for 24 hours after 2 inches of snow have
fallen, per Village ordinance.
• 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.
• 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.
For more information, contact the Public
Works Department at 847.317.7245 or visit
www.deerfield.il.us. e
Sidewalk Snow Clearing
Program
The Village asks all residents to please
be considerate of pedestrians by clearing
sidewalks of snow and ice.
Trash bins should be placed on the
driveway apron or parkway to keep the
sidewalk unobstructed.
After 2 inches of snow fall, the Public
Works Department clears over 24 miles of
sidewalks throughout the Village.
The snow clearing route focuses on
strategic locations that include the
sidewalks along major thoroughfares such
as Deerfield, Waukegan and Lake Cook
Roads as well as the sidewalks around
schools and Metra parking lots.
The sidewalk snow clearing program
prioritizes keeping students and pedestrians
safe and clearing snow from sections of
sidewalk that are critical to public safety.
For more information, contact the Public
Works Department at 847.317.7245 or visit
www.deerfield.il.us. e
deerfield flood
information
flood hazard areas
Special Flood Hazard Areas (100-year
floodplain) in the Village of Deerfield are
located near the middle fork and west fork
of the north branch of the Chicago River.
The eastern portion of Deerfield is in the
middle fork floodplain while the western
part of town is in the west fork floodplain.
For a detailed map, visit the “Maps and
Information” page on the Village of
Deerfield’s website at www.deerfield.il.us.
Guidance on whether your property is in
the 100-year floodplain can be obtained by
contacting the Engineering Department
and having a staff member help you. Maps
are available to look at as well as other
flood-related information. Contact the
Engineering Department at 847.317.2490
for further assistance.
Flood safety
The following common sense
guidelines can help protect you from
the dangers of flooding:
• Do not drive through a flooded area.
More people drown in cars than
anywhere else. Do not drive around
barriers.
• Do not walk through flowing water.
Currents can be deceptive. Six inches
of water can knock you off your feet.
• Stay away from power lines and
electrical wires. If your house is about
to flood, turn off the power at the
service box. Electrical current can
travel through water, and electrocution
is the second leading cause of death
during floods.
• Be alert to gas leaks. Turn off the gas
to your house before it floods. If you
smell gas, report it to a Village official
or your gas company. Do not use
candles, lanterns or open flames if you
smell gas or are unsure if your gas has
been shut off.
• Keep children away from flood waters,
ditches, culverts and storm drains.
Flood waters can carry dangerous
items.
• Clean everything that made contact
with flood waters. Flood waters can
be contaminated with sewage and
chemicals that pose health threats.
• Look out for animals, especially snakes.
Small animals that have been displaced
from their shelters by the flood may
seek shelter in yours.
• Do not use gas engines, such as
generators or charcoal fires, indoors
during power outages. Carbon
monoxide exhaust can pose serious
health hazards.
PROPERTY PROTECTION
MEASURES
Temporary yard and street flooding is the
intended means to direct heavy rain from
homes and buildings. However, if your
property is susceptible to flooding, there
are many flood damage reduction measures
you can employ:
• Watertight seals can be applied to brick
and block walls to protect against low-
level flooding.
• Utilities such as heating and air
conditioning systems, water heaters
and other major appliances can
be elevated to higher floors in the
structure or on raised platforms.
• Temporary measures such as moving
furniture and other valuables to
higher floors or sandbagging exterior
openings can be employed.
• Elevating or relocating the entire
structure may also be a feasible option.

As residents take precautions to keep
themselves and loved ones physically safe
amid the COVID-19 pandemic, mental
health experts are also advising us to be
mindful of our emotional well-being. It is
not uncommon for people to be confronting
feelings of anxiety, helplessness, depression
and isolation during these challenging times.
One way to better manage these feelings
is to better understand the emotional
aspects of this crisis. That’s why West
Deerfield Township is planning “Coping
in the Time of COVID,” a virtual panel
discussion that will bring together experts
for a frank conversation about our mental
health. Panelists include Hugh Brady,
past President of the Illinois Chapter of
the National Alliance on Mental Illinois,
Rosalba Diaz, Educational Outreach
Coordinator for A Safe Place (domestic
violence), and Elizabeth Thielen, Senior
Director for Nicasa Behavioral Health
Services (gambling and substance abuse).
Jacob Royko of the Josselyn Center will act
as moderator.
The panelists will discuss COVID’s
emotional effects on both the individual
and the entire family. Panelists will share
strategies and resources to deal with these
emotionally challenging times. Although
the panel discussion will be virtual, viewers
will be able to submit questions and provide
comments. The Township plans to offer the
panel discussion in early December. Please
check the Township’s website for the exact
date and time.

2020 Leaf Collection
Program Continues
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 the night before their
scheduled pickup.
The Village began collecting leaves on
October 26 this year and will continue this
service through November 25.
Public Works Department crews will make
one pass by all homes in the Village each
week during the four-week program.
We ask that you do 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 five 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 the
carriage walks or sidewalk, as this causes
safety hazards. If you have landscapers,
please direct them to abide by the
Village’s leaf collection guidelines.
Follow us on Facebook to receive regular leaf
collection program updates or visit the Village’s
website at www.deerfield.il.us. e
Landscape Waste
Collection
As a reminder, landscape and yard waste
collection runs through December 15.
Residents north of Deerfield Road have
yard waste collected on Tuesdays; those
south of Deerfield Road have collection
on Wednesdays.
Yard waste must be placed in a 30-gallon
paper bag and placed at the curb with a
sticker affixed for collection. A sticker is also
required for each bundle of sticks or other
yard waste not exceeding 4 feet in length,
30 inches in circumference and 50 pounds
in weight. Pumpkins are now accepted as
yard waste.
The price of landscape waste stickers this
year is $2.94. View a list of locations selling
stickers at www.deerfield.il.us.
For more information, contact the Finance
Department at 847.945.5000. e
Prevent Damage to
Mailboxes
During the winter months, mailboxes are
sometimes damaged when snow storms
affect Deerfield. If your mailbox is damaged
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
occur because the post supporting the
mailbox has deteriorated or because
the mailbox was installed too close to
the roadway.
The front of the mailbox must be at least
12 inches away from the back of the curb or
the roadway edge. The mailbox post must
be installed 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.
For questions regarding mailbox installation,
contact Public Works at 847.317.7245. e

Winter Driving Safety
Tips
With winter soon to be upon us, it is
important to know how to drive safely in
unpredictable weather.
The following are a few safe driving tips for
inclement weather:
• Make full stops at stop signs and be
sure to stop before the white line. Keep
in mind that stopping distances are
longer in icy and rainy conditions.
• Slow down and increase distances
between cars in inclement weather.
• Maintain your car by checking battery,
tire tread and windshield wipers; keep
windows clear and check antifreeze.
