VEHICLE STICKER REMINDER!!! Did you remember about getting your Village stickers? If not, finish reading D-TALES* and dash up to the Village Hall! July FIRST is the deadline, unless you want to pay an additional 50% (and don't forget to put the stickers on the cars)! • THANK YOU, BOB YORK! Everyone knows of Bob York's many years serving on practically every Board, charitable organization and committee (remember the Post Office effort?) in his unselfish desire to make Deerfield the wonderful Village it is. We just wanted to thank you again, Bob, for the twelve years you have just completed as a Village Trustee. Your wit and wisdom made those Monday nights more enjoyable for all of us! You participated in a lot of major decisions over the years and we are indeed greatly indebted to you for your contribution! MEET TRUSTEE MICHAEL SWARTZ In April, Michael Swartz was elected to a four year term as Village Trustee. Mike is a 14 year resident of Deerfield, and is no stranger to Village government. He was appointed to the Plan Commission in 1981 and served as Chairman for three years. Mike is Senior Vice-Presient with Standard Parking Corporation in Chicago. We welcome Mike to the Village Board. "COMPLIANCE TICKETS" The Village recently adopted an ordi- nance creating a new Compliance Ticket. Its primary purpose is to administra- tively process ordinance violations to gain compliance without the matter entering the judicial system. The pro- gram allows an enforcement officer to issue a ticket payable at the Village Hall for a minor traffic offense or Municipal Code violation. The fine on the ticket is set at $25.00. No v Court appearance is required and, if the offense is a traffic violation, the incident will not appear on the driver's record. Anyone indicating a desire to contest the violation in Court will be issued a regular citation returnable to Branch Court in Waukegan. POLICE OFFICER EXAMINATION The Deerfield Police Commission will conduct an exam for police officer applicants on August 17, 1991. Appli- cations are available at the Police Department. • $1.5 MILLION BOND ISSUE As this issue of D-TALES is being written, the Village is considering a $1.5 million General Obligation Bond Issue in connection with the Village - Center Tax Increment Financing District. The principal reason for issuing bonds is to qualify under Illinois law for State sales tax revenue that would otherwise not be rebated to the Village. This amounts to $737,000 over the life of the TIF District, and makes the deci- sion on a bond issue very easy. The Mayor and Board of Trustees have pledged that the principal and interest on the bonds will be paid by means other than real estate taxes. SCAVENGER SERVICE The only change in the scavenger ser- vice due to the July 4th holiday is: SATURDAY, July 6th instead of Friday, July 5th.

To help alleviate parking problems we encourage residents to walk or ride bicycles to activities. During the 4th of July parade we often encounter a great deal of congestion at the intersection of Deerfield road and Waukegan road by people watching the parade. The parade will cover the length of Deerfield road from Deer Spring park to Waukegan road, North on Waukegan road to Hazel, and then West on Hazel to Park avenue where it will disperse. Anywhere along the parade route is a good seat. always we ask people to be patient with traffic and congestion and to exercise caution Pedestrians and bicycle riders only create confusion when crossing in the middle of the block or among parade participants, not to mention that it's dangerous. One quick reminder about fireworks. Remember that it is against the law to possess firecrackers, skyrockets, roman candles, or any other fireworks containing any explosive compound. Fireworks in irresponsible hands can cause injury, fire or property damage. Someone in possession of fireworks can be ticketed and receive a fine up to $500. RISKY DRIVING .' 1984 7^.v M-1-UA g C.,m J Inc By mid June the police department will begin implementing a Risky Driving Education Program that was initiated by the Village. The primary objective of the program is to encourage safe and courteous driving by young drivers and to change risky driving habits through enforcement and education. This program is directed toward young drivers under the age of 21 who operate any vehicle in a manner which disregards the safety of others or property. If issued a Village Ordinance Compliance Ticket for Risky Driving, the driver and a parent will be required to attend a Risky Driving Education Program held at the Village hall on the first Saturday of each month. Officers from the police department will conduct the program in an effort to change poor driving habits. VACATION REMINDERS Are you going on vacation this summer? If you are these are some safety tips that you wont want to forget. `• ` , ' I �'�,�' 40en you leave home leave that 'lived in look' behind. Put timers on lights, have someone cut your grass, have mail and wspapers collected daily or stopped, and tell a trusted neighbor so they can report anything suspicious while you're gone. While you are on vacation remember not to carry all of your money or travelers checks in one place. Remember that vacation or resort areas have there share of crime too. Many criminals victimize -unsuspecting tourists because they lower there crime prevention awareness. When you park your car for the night take all of your luggage and valuables out of the car, even if it's in the trunk.
