1993 DOG TAGS
We have changed our procedure regarding the sale of
dog tags. There is no longer a January 1st deadline.
The tags that we will sell for 1993 will be a
combination Village and County Rabies tag. The
applications for renewal will be mailed out one
month prior to the expiration of the rabies
vaccination. This simplifies the previous procedure
by having just one tag and one date to remember for
renewal.
•SNOW REMOVAL
The goal of the Public Works Department is to clear
all 70 miles of Village streets within 12 hours after
the snowfall stops. Priority is given to the main
thoroughfares, followed by secondary collector
streets and then subdivision streets. Cul-de-sacs and
dead ends are cleared last. Residents are asked to
cooperate in the following ways:
1. Do not park on Village streets or in public
parking lots after a snowfall of 3" or more.
2. When shoveling your driveway, deposit the
snow on the right side of your driveway as you
face the street. That way, snowplows won't
push the snow back onto the driveway.
3. Do not shovel or blow snow into the street.
4. Adopt a fire hydrant this Winter. Keep the
one closest to your home free of snow.
CHRISTMAS TREE PICK-UP
The Village's scavenger service company will make
,cparate collections of Christmas trees and other
f organic holiday decorations Saturday, January 2nd
and Friday, January 8th. Trees and other greenery
will be taken from the curb and composted only if
all bags. metal (including tinsel). and other
decorations are removed.
