Deerfield Goes
Smoke Free
This past summer, the
State of Illinois passed °
legislation that allowed
municipalities (who had not passed a Clean
Indoor Air ordinance prior to 1989) the
ability to regulate smoking within their
corporate boundaries after January I,
2006. The potential for a local ordinance
prompted numerous requests from residents
that the Village explore implementing such
an ordinance.
Following significant public input, a review
of other similar ordinances state-wide, and
much debate as to the level of regulation
this ordinance should encompass, the
Mayor and Village Board of Trustees
approved the Deerfield Smoke Free Air
Ordinance at the Village Board meeting
held on December 19. As approved, this
ordinance is the strictest in the State of,
Illinois and effectively prohibits smoking in
the following areas:
• All enclosed public places, including
restaurants, bars, and places of
employment and home based businesses
that employ more than one person;
• Unenclosed public places such as public
parks, outdoor dining areas, and school
grounds; and
Within 25 feet of all public entrances or
entrances to places of employment,
outdoor dining areas, or an outdoor
event venue while an event is taking
place (excluding those individuals
walking past the above areas.) In
addition, people may not congregate for
the purpose of smoking within 25 feet
of an entrance.
The -ordinance will officially take effect
January'1,-2006 and enforcement will
begin on March I, 2006. The delay will
allow sufficient time for those affected to
make the appropriate changes to their
facilities to accommodate the restrictions
outlined in the ordinance.
Businesses are now required to display
signs signifying that their establishment is
smoke -free. One exception to the
restrictions applies to those retail
establishments that primarily function to
sell tobacco and tobacco products.
Deerfield joins other Illinois communities
including Highland Park, Skokie and
Wilmette in implementing a local smoking
ordinance.
The ordinance has been made available in
full text form on the Village's website at
www.deerfield-il.org. Residents and
businesses may also view the ordinance at
Village Hall, 850 Waukegan Road. �•

Message from Mayor Barris
To the Deerfield Community:
The Chicago saying about two seasons, winter and
construction, has never been more true than in Deerfield
recently. I want to personally thank each and every one of our
residents for enduring the pain and inconvenience of the
Deerfield Road construction which was substantially
completed last Thanksgiving. To be sure, each of our
residents sacrificed time away from family and work by
complying with the necessary detours caused by the
construction. I extend a special thank you to the parents of
school age children for their special understanding.
The work we completed will benefit our community for
decades to come. On behalf of the Board of Trustees and
our dedicated Village staff, 1 thank each of you for your
contribution.
STEVEN M. ARRIS
MAYOR
Flood Insurance
The Village was notified by the
Federal Emergency
Management Agency that
Deerfield will increase to a
Class 7 in the National Flood
Insurance Program's (NFIP),
Community Rating System. This
means that residents who must
purchase NFIP policies because
their property is located within
a Special Flood Hazard area
will qualify for additional
savings in the form of premium
discounts. The increased
savings are a direct result of
Deerfield's voluntary activities
that have been implemented to
help control flooding.
Check with your insurance
service provider to determine if
your property qualifies for this
discount. For more information,
contact FEMA at 312/408-
5230 or wwtv.fema.org. e.-
Wastewater
Treatment Plant
The Village Board is continuing
to review a proposal by
American Water to privatize
operations at the Village's
wastewater treatment plant. The
plant will need a significant
upgrade at a substantial cost.
Please visit the Village's
website for more information
on this important topic as it
becomes available. &-
Task Force
The Mayor has re-established
the Residential Redevelopment
Review Task Force to re-
examine the issues of
determination of lot width as
well as the issue of the size of
new homes on large lots. The
task force has been asked to
report back to the Village
Board by March 31, 2006. b-
Property faxes and
Upcoming Budget
Each local government serving
the residents of the Village of
Deerfield collects real estate
taxes from residential and
commercial property owners. At
their December 19th meeting,
the Mayor and Board of
Trustees passed the 2005 Real
Estate Tax Levy Ordinance that
determines the real estate taxes
that the Village will receive in
the next year.
As a portion of individual
property tax bills, the Village
receives approximately 7% of
the total. This figure represents
approximately 10% of the total
revenue collected by the Village
annually.
In turn, Village staff has begun
preparing the 2006-2007
annual budget. This intensive
process examines capital
improvement projects and
everyday operations and
forecasts revenues and
expenditures for the upcoming
year. The Village Board has
maintained a conservative
approach so as to keep the
burden on the taxpayers in
Deerfield as small as possible.
A testament to this process is
the receipt of the Village's 15th
consecutive Distinguished
Budget Presentation Award
from the Government Finance
Officers Association. This
award highlights the
commitment of the Village
Board to present and approve a
budget that promotes openness,
encourages resident
participation, and meets the
highest standards of local
government budgeting.
Additional budget information
will be available in upcoming
issues of D-Tales. ,-
Clean Air Counts •
At the Village Board meeting
on November 21, the Board of
Trustees unanimously approved
a resolution confirming the
Village's participation in the
Clean Air Counts Campaign.
The Clean Air Counts
Campaign is a regional
initiative to reduce ozone -
causing emissions, thereby
improving air quality. It is a
collaborative effort between the
Metropolitan Mayors Caucus,
City of Chicago, U.S.
Environmental Protection
Agency Region 5, and Illinois
Environmental Protection
Agency. joining the Clean Air
Counts Campaign means the
Village is making a
commitment to undertake
voluntary efforts to reduce
smog in the Chicago region.
The Village of Deerfield's •
participation in the Clean Air
Counts Campaign will focus on
initiatives that will increase
community awareness of energy
efficiency by highlighting the
program and providing
information to residents and
businesses, and implementing
energy efficient policies
throughout Village operations.
Residents are encouraged to
view the Clean Air Counts
website located at
www.cleanaircounts.organd to
participate in the program in
their own homes or businesses.
Area communities involved in
this campaign include
Northbrook, Skokie, Wilmette,
Highland Park, and Evanston,
among others. Look for more
information on the Village's
Clean Air Counts initiatives, as is
as tips for conserving
energy and becoming more
energy efficient, in upcoming
issues of D-Tales. �-

CLEARED ROADWAY AREA I
Snow removal operations began
earlier this season than usual
with a significant snowfall early
in December. The Village's
•Public Works Department was
prepared to deal with the
situation and succeeded in
clearing Deerfield's more than
70 miles of roadways quickly
and effectively.
To assist neighbors and Village
staff this winter, it is important
to remember the following
items:
One way to assure that
street plows don't fill a
cleared driveway entrance
with snow is to follow this
simple guideline: Shovel the
snow to the side, in the
direction of traffic, and
clear a pocket of snow on
the opposite side of your
driveway. (see the
illustration above) The
accumulated snow in the
plow will dump into the
pocket and not on your
driveway. This simple
procedure will reduce the
possibility of residual snow

keep your driveway as clear as
possible during a plotting
operation.
being plowed from the street
into your driveway.
• By Village ordinance,
vehicles cannot be parked
on the street for 24 hours
after 3 inches of snow has
fallen. Keeping your vehicles
off the street assists our
plows and salt trucks in
clearing the streets as
quickly as possible.
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 makes it harder for
Village plow crews to keep
streets clear.
• Adopt a fire hydrant!
Remember, when you shovel
your sidewalk and driveway,
don't forget to clear snow
away from fire hydrants in
front of your property to
ensure that they are
accessible if needed. .t�-

Properly Installed
Mailboxes Prevent
Damage.
During the
winter
months,
mailboxes v
are
sometimes
damaged
when snow storms affect
Deerfield. If your mailbox has
been damaged this winter, or
if you are planning on
installing a new one, please
be aware of how to properly
install a mailbox that meets
Village standards.
The majority of mailbox
knockdowns typically result
because the post supporting
the mailbox has deteriorated -
it has either rusted or rotted -
or because the mailbox was
installed too close to the
roadway.
A mailbox must extend no less
than 12 inches away from the
Winter Storm
Terms
Storm Watch: Severe weather
such as heavy snow or ice is
possible.
Storm Wanting. Severe winter
conditions have begun or will
begin very soon.
Blizzard Waming. Heavy
snow and strong winds will
produce near zero visibility,
deep drifts and dangerous
wind chill.
Freezing Rain: Rain that
freezes, creating a coating of
ice on roads and walkways.
Sleet- Rain that turns to ice
pellets before reaching 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 J.U.L.I.E at I-
800-892-0123 before you dig.
The various utilities will come
out and mark the location of
any buried utilities so that you
will not damage them if you
dig.
If you have questions regarding
your mailbox, please contact
the Public Works Department
at 847/317-7245.

Vacation Checklist
Going on vacation
is an exciting event
for every member of
the family. Much
thought goes into scheduling
acIII planning to be sure that
all of the details are taken care
of. However, do not neglect
the protection of your property
and belongings that are staying
behind.
*Before you leave, take a few
minutes and review the
following suggestions
Stop all deliveries to your
home. Newspapers and mail
Ilia( accumulate are sure
giveaways that no one is home.
Give a key to a relative or
trusted neighbor. Ask that
person to check the house, as
often as possible. Any
deliveries that were not
stopped should be taken
inside. Ask that person to
open the curtains periodically.
If there is a car in the garage,
ask them to park it in the
driveway occasionally. In short,
the house should be made to
look lived in.
Install Timers. Having a light
on each level makes the home
look occupied. A timer on a
•radio is also a good idea.
Timers should also be placed
on exterior lights to keep the
house well lit at night.
Disconnect your garage
door opener.
Make sure that it can't be
opened. Also, lock the door
between the inside of the
garage and house with a keyed
door lock and deadbolt.
If gone for an extended period
of time, have your yard taken
care of by someone you trust.
Have the grass cut promptly.
Outdoor valuables like grills,
lawn mowers, bikes, etc. should
be locked inside the garage.
Never hide a key anywhere
outside. Burglars know these
tricks, too.
Remember, the Deerfield Police
Department offers a Vacation
Watch program for residents
who are away from their homes.
The Police Department can
help keep an eye on your
property while you are away.
Home Security
Systems
A common question that is
often asked of the police
department is whether or not
residents should install a home
security system. This can be a
difficult question to answer, and
it's not because Deerfield has
any more or less crime than any
other community. Rather, it's a
tough question to answer
because each situation is
different. Some may have
something specific to protect
while others may utilize a
security system to give them
peace of mind. Whether or not
you have an alarm system
installed in your home is a
decision that must be made
with your specific situation in
mind. (Keep in mind that the
Village of Deerfield has an
ordinance regulating residential
alarm systems and false
alarms.)
Whether or not you install a
policeDEPARTMENTIV
home security system, you
should still secure your home
by adhering to some basic do's
and don'ts. For example:
Ensure that doors are locked.
Make sure that the entry door
has a deadbolt lock on it. If
you have a sliding patio door,
an auxiliary lock is also highly
recommended.
Keep your first floor windows
or other accessible u4ndows
shut and locked, or install
auxiliary locks that permit only
partial opening.
Use timers so at least one light
on each floor goes on/off
automatically. Also, install a
timer to turn on the porch/
garage light, or utilize a
motion -activated light outside of
your home.
Use an answering machine, but
make sure that the outgoing
message does not state that no
one is home.
If you get a morning paper, be
sure to retrieve it every
morning. If you are away from
home, ask that a neighbor
bring it in on your behalf.
Do not leave notes on your
door. They are an immediate
signal that no one is home.
Keep shrubbery trimmed so
that it will not conceal someone
who is standing outside a
window or door.
While these tips will help to
make any home more secure,
there are always additional
security measures that will be
unique to every residence.
Contact the Deerfield Police
Department with additional
home security questions at
847/945-8636. eb-
Citizens Police
Academy
The Deerfield Police
Department is sponsoring a
Citizens Police Academy
beginning January 18, 2006
which will run for 10 weeks,
concluding on March 22, 2006.
Classes meet from 7:00 p.m.
until 9:00 p.m. The classes are
limited to 12 participants who
must be 18 years old, a
Deerfield resident and have no
felony convictions.
Most classes will be held at the
Deerfield Police Department,
850 Waukegan Road, but some
classes may also be held at an
alternate location, depending on
the subject matter. Topics
covered in the classes include
fundamentals of investigations,
narcotics, canine units, and a
citizen ride -along.
To apply to participate in the
Citizens Police Academy,
download an application from
the Police Department's website
at www.deer11e1d-il.org/cpa.htm
and return the completed
application to the Police
Department. You may also pick
up an application at the Police
Department. Questions may be
directed to Sgt. Mel Soltwisch

a.m. - 3:00 p.m.
The Deerfield Police
Department is committed to the
philosophy of Community
Policing. The Citizen Police
Academy provides a forum to
improve the line of
communication between the
police and the community.
Graduates become partners
with us in identifying problems
and solutions to quality of life
issues that face our community
and are able to take their
knowledge back to their
neighborhoods, where they can
inform other community
members about the Police
Department. ;b-

Recycling Cart Preference
The Village Board recently
approved a 5-year contract with
Onyx Waste Systems for refuse and
recycling service.
An aspect of the new contract is
the addition of 65-gallon recycling
carts, replacing the existing 18-
gallon bins. One 65-gallon
recycling cart will be provided to
each single-family residence in
Deerfield. Residents who have
special needs and require a smaller
cart may request a 35-gallon cart.
While the overall size of these
carts may cause some concern, it
should be noted that their
footprint, or the amount of space
that they cover on the ground, is
only slightly larger than the 18-
gallon bins they replace. Once the
new recycling collection program
begins recyclables will no longer be
collected from the 18-olon bins.
The new carts are convenient and
easy to move and have a lid to
help keep items from blowing out
of the container and littering the
neighborhood. Residents no longer
have to sort their recyclables - all
materials can be co -mingled in one
cart. These carts, like the bins,
must be brought to the curb for
collection, where a semi -automated
operation will empty each cart into
the collection truck. While
recycling collection remains once
per week, due to the larger size
and lid features of these carts,
individual usage may allow you to
take your recycling to the curb only
every other week or even once per
month. These carts, which are
used in many neighboring
communities, also help to
encourage recycling, as their large
size allow them to hold more
recyclables.
It is expected that these new carts
will be delivered sometime in early
to mid -March. The carts will be
placed at the curb when delivered,
so please be on the look out for
them. Questions may be directed to
the Village at 847/945-5000. .b.
Christmas Tree Collection
Onyx Waste P
Services, the
Village's solid
waste contractor,
will collect
Christmas trees
and other organic
holiday decorations for recycling on
January 3 and 4 and January 9
and 10. Trees and other organic
greenery will be picked up at the
curb only if all plastic bags, metal
(including tinsel) and other
decorations are removed. Items
other than "clean and green" will
be taken as trash. r,,

Train Horns
Many Deerfield residents are aware
of the railroad that cuts through
the Village and serves both freight
and passenger rail service.
Associated with this rail line are
three railroad crossings. The
Village of Deerfield is a "quiet
zone"; trains may not sound their
horns when passing through town
unless there is a problem on the
tracks, such as vehicles going
around barrier gates or
maintenance or construction
workers working on or near the
tracks.
Over the past few months the
Village has received a number of
complaints regarding trains
sounding their horns in the middle
of the night or at various times
during the 'day. Residents should
be reassured that the Village has
contacted the rail lines, as well as
the Illinois Commerce Commission,
which regulates the railroads in the
State of Illinois, and informed them
that this problem has occurred and
must be corrected. Since these
contacts were made, the number of
complaints has dramatically fallen:
If you have questions regarding the
rail lines in Deerfield, please
contact the Village Manager's
Office at 847/945-5000. r-6-
Comcast Internet and Cable
The Village of Deerfield is served
by Comcast for cable and
broadband internet service. If you
have questions regarding service
please contact Comcast directly at
1-800-288-2085. Should you have
questions regarding your bill, you
may call 1-866-594-1234.
The Village's Cable and
Telecommunications Commission
helps to ensure that cable service is
properly serving residents of
Deerfield. The Commission meets
regularly on the 3rd Wednesday of
the month at 7:30 p.m.
