Refuse and Recycling
Collection
The Village's new 5-year contract with Onyx
Waste Services for refuse, recycling and
yard waste collection services will be
effective beginning the week of April 3.
This new contract maintains backdoor
refuse collection services for all single
family residences in Deerfield and also
provides for additional enhancements to the
Village's recycling program. "Backdoor"
refuse collection means that you may leave
your refuse cans at your backdoor, or at the
top of your driveway (just outside your
garage door) and Onyx will collect it from
there. Of course, you may bring it to the
curb, but if you do so regularly and now
choose to leave it at the backdoor or top of
the driveway, please contact Onyx so that
they may inform their drivers. Onyx is now
utilizing single -pass trucks for refuse and
recycling collection. While it may appear
that drivers are co -mingling refuse and
recycling, the new trucks have separate
compartments. The new trucks will be used
extensively with the new recycling carts.
Refuse collection days will remain the same
once the new contract goes into effect, as
will recycling and yard waste collection
days. If you have questions regarding your
scheduled collection day, please refer to the
Village's website at www.deerfield-ii.org.
Recycling Carts
As part of this new contract, all single
family residences will receive a new
recycling cart for recycling collection. Many
residents indicated a preference for a
smaller 35-gallon cart rather than the
standard 65-gallon cart. The cut-off date
for selecting the smaller cart was February
I, and notices were sent to all water bill
customers between November and January.
It is expected that Onyx will deliver the
carts sometime in late March, likely
beginning after March 23. The carts will be
left on your parkway or at the foot of your
driveway. When it is delivered, please place
it in your garage or in a place near where
you keep your garbage cans. The carts
must be brought to the curb on your
scheduled pick-up day. Your current 18-
gallon bins can be "recycled" for uses
around your house. Be a helpful neighbor:
if you notice your neighbor's cart has not
been moved to their house because they are
away from their home, please take a few
minutes and place it near their house.
Yard Waste
Beginning the week of April 3, yard waste
collection service will resume. All landscape
waste must be brought to the curb for
collection. Residents north of Deerfield
Road will have yard waste collected on
Mondays; those residents south of Deerfield
Road will have pick up on Tuesdays.
As part of the new contract, bundled'brush
must now have a landscape waste sticker
affixed for collection. Other landscape
waste must be placed in 30-gallon paper
bags and affixed with a sticker for
collection. Stickers are available for sale at
Village Hall, Deerbrook Jewel/Osco,
Walgreens, Whole Foods, Bannockburn
Dominicks, and Highland Park Jewel/Osco.
Questions regarding all aspects of the new
refuse contract with Onyx may be directed
to the Village at 847/945-5000. -*-

Clean Indoor Air
Ordinance
The Deerfield Clean Indoor Air
Ordinance was approved by the
Village Board on December 19,
2005 and became effective
January I, 2006. Beginning on
March I, enforcement will
begin to ensure compliance
with the ordinance at all public
places, including restaurants,
places of employment, and
parks. Signage designating that
these places are smoke -free
must be erected by March I.
In an effort to ensure that these
measures are complied with,
the Village has contacted
Deerfield businesses informing
them of the March I deadline.
The ordinance is available at
the Village Hall or on the
Village's website, at
www.deerfield-ii.org.
Questions may be directed to
the Police Department at
847/945-8636. -*-
2006-2007 Budget
Work is underway on the
annual budget for the 2006-
2007 fiscal year, which begins
on May I. Village staff will
present a proposed budget to
the Mayor and Board of
Trustees in early March. A
public hearing will be held on
the budget on Monday, April 3
at the regularly scheduled
Village Board meeting.
The budget includes operating
and personnel costs, as well as
a capital improvement plan to
help guide expenditures for
improvements to infrastructure
throughout the Village.
For.more information, contact
the Finance Department at
847/945-5000
Update: Village hall
Construction
The expansion and renovation
of the Deerfield Village Hall is
proceeding. Along with the
Village Board, staff has been
working to finalize building
plans. Work is expected to
begin in late May and will
proceed in three phases.
Phase I: Relocation of the
Community Development staff
and demolition of the Village
Hall Annex building.
Phase II: Construction of the
new north wing of the Village
Hall, which, when completed,
will house the Administration
and Finance Departments, as
well as the new Village Board
room and a number of
community meeting rooms. The
Administration and Finance
Departments will remain in the
existing Village Hall until the
new wing is ready for
occupancy. The Village Board
room will also remain in
operation, so the Village Board
and all other boards and
commissions will continue to
meet at the existing Village
Hall.
Phase III: Renovation of the
existing Village Hall, which,
when completed, will house the
Community Development
Department.
During construction, the
Community Development
Department will be relocated to
the lower level of the Deerfield -
Bannockburn Fire Protection
District's headquarters at 500
Waukegan Road. This location
provides sufficient space for the
Department to operate without
interfering with the operations
of the Fire Protection District.
Community Development staff
will be relocated at the end of
April and will remain in that
location through November
2007. During that time, hours
of operation will change to
8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and all
business of the building or
planning divisions (permit
applications, etc) will take place
at the temporary facility.
The May edition of D Tales will
have the most up to date
information regarding the
Village Hall expansion project.
Questions can be directed to
Philip Kiraly, Assistant to the
Village Manager and Project
Manager at 847/945-5000 or
at deermail@deerfield-il.org.
Look for updates on the
Village's website,
www.deerfield-ii.org.
Political Signage
The primary election is to be
held on March 21. While the
Village recognizes that political
signs are an important and
legitimate way for residents to
express their opinion, there are
regulations that govern such
activities. These include:
Signs are not allowed
anywhere in the public right-
of-way. This is generally 20
feet in from the curb and
includes areas surrounding
railroad tracks, parks, and.
other public lands.
Signs may not be displayed
more than 30 days before
an election.
Signs are restricted to 20
square feet of total sign
area per lot on private
property.
u All signs must be removed
within 7 days of an election.
For more information on
elections in Deerfield, contact
West Deerfield Township at
847/945-0614. a. -
Automated Water •
Bill Payment
The Village of Deerfield is
rolling out an optional new
program to make it more
convenient to pay your water
bill. This direct -debit program
allows you to pay your utility
bill automatically. After initial
authorization, your payment for
each bill is electronically
deducted from your checking or
savings account.
Customers must complete and
return an authorization form.
This form is available online at
www.deerfield-ii.org and at
Village Hall. After your
authorization form is received,
you will continue to receive
regular statements, but the
amount due section will read
"AUTOMATED BILL PAY."
The payment to the Village will
be electronically transferred on
the 26th day of the month or if
•
the 26th falls on a weekend or
holiday, the next business day.
This service is provided at no
charge; however, it is the
responsibility of the customer
to ensure that sufficient funds
are available in the account for
withdrawal. Any transfer
requests that are returned by
the bank for any reason will be
charged a $15 fee. Bills that
are not paid by the due date
will also receive the standard
late fee of 10% of the amount
due, and a late notice will be
mailed to the billing address.
To enroll, please fill out the
authorization form and return
it to the Finance Department,
850 Waukegan Road,
Deerfield, Illinois 60015, or
utilize the drop box on the
south wall of the Village Hall.
Please contact the Finance
Department at 847/945-5000
for additional information. -,>.

Rosemary Terrace
*Reconstruction
Construction work on
Rosemary Terrace, Orchard
Avenue, Todd Court and
Caroline Court is scheduled to
begin this spring. Many needed
improvements will be included
as part of this project,
including new sanitary and
storm sewers, water main, a
complete reconstruction of the
roadway (including widening
the southern sections of
Rosemary Terrace, Orchard
Avenue and Todd Court to 25
feet back to back of curb), and
reconstruction of the carriage
walk from three feet to five feet
along the northern section of
Rosemary.
These improvements will
require that these streets be
closed to through traffic
•through the duration of the
construction project. Residents
will have access to their
driveways (though work may
disrupt access temporarily
throughout the project), but
street parking will be
prohibited. Further information
will be made available in the
near future. Questions may be
directed to the Engineering
Department at 847/317-2490.
Updates will also be placed on
the Village's website at
www.deerfield-ii.org.
What is Road
Construction?
Road construction remains a
fact of life. Everyone
experiences construction, but
not everyone knows the reason
heavy equipment may be tearing
rip their street or the street they
take to get to work. The
following information may help
•to better understand what
happens when the construction
trucks are out in your
neighborhood.
Street Resurfacing. Ideally
streets need to be resurfaced
only every 20 - 25 years. First,
grinders take off the old surface
and any loose material is
cleared away. Next, a binder
course goes down - that is, the
layer of material between the
stone or asphalt subbase and
the driving surface. Manholes
must then be adjusted to the
proper grade with concrete
sleeves. Once the concrete has
set (about three - seven days),
the final surface layer can be
applied. Restoration includes
any landscaping, driveway
repairs and street striping.
Street Reconstruction: Street
reconstruction is a significantly
more difficult project, often
involving extensive underground
work. The work begins much
as it does with resurfacing, but,
in this case, the entire street is
removed. In these situations,
the Village takes the
opportunity to deal with
problems related to water,
sanitary or storm sewer
infrastructure. These projects
consume more time and money
but are sometimes necessary to
replace an aging infrastructure.
Underground Work. These
projects may or may not involve
extensive street improvements.
Some underground utilities are
located in parkways, but if
there is a leak or break under
the street, a small portion of
the street must be removed to
access the pipe. Once the
problem is fixed, the. hole is
backfilled with stone. This
material must settle for
several weeks or more -
compressed by traffic, weather
and its own weight - before a
permanent patch is put in place
to seal the hole; otherwise this
portion of the street will begin
to sink and must be repaired
again. Other underground work
can sometimes be accomplished
by directional drilling - or
publicWORKS
angering - under the surface of
the street. This may require
"potholing" along the path of
the drilling to ensure the path
of the drill is accurate.
Many variables can affect the
work schedule. Rain, snow, or
sleet can delay or complicate
jobs. Seasons also play a role.
Your street may have been
reconstructed through a summer
and completed in October, but
the final layer of asphalt may
not be installed until the
following spring. Likewise, if a
water main breaks in January,
the hole will not be patched
until warmer weather comes
and hot asphalt is available
from the plants. Finally, if road
work includes repairing curbs
and gutters, that can add
significant time to a project.
The Village also works to
achieve economies of scale by
"bundling" work in order to get
it all done at once - either
by the contractor or by Village
employees. For example, several
streets in one area are usually
repaired at the same
time, with work crews moving
between them to complete
similar work. This helps keep
costs down and saves taxpayer
dollars.
The Village plans for
construction projects every year
as a part of the budget process.
Projects scheduled for 2006
include Rosemary
Terrace/Orchard Place/Todd
Court/Caroline Court
reconstruction, as well as the
2006 Street Resurfacing
Program and a number of other
infrastructure replacement
programs.
For more information on
planned construction projects,
please contact the Public Works
Department at 847/317-7245 or
visit www.deerfield-ii.org. &-
Crosswalk Safety
Often, questions' of safety at
crosswalks are brought to the
attention of the Public Works
Department. The following
provides some useful
information regarding
crosswalks in Deerfield.
• It is safe to begin walking
across the street when the
"walk" signal is illuminated.
• When you are in the
crosswalk and the "don't
walk" signal begins to flash, it
does not mean that you will
not make it across before the
light changes - rather it
indicates that those standing
on the corner should not
begin to walk across because
it is likely they will not make
it before the light changes.
• If the "don't walk" signal is
illuminated and not flashing,
do not attempt to cross the
street until the "walk" signal
is illuminated.
Recently, a new pedestrian
refuge island was installed at
jonquil Terrace and Deerfield
Road. High mounted yellow
lights flash when a pedestrian
activates them with a push
button at the crosswalk. The
flashing lights signal that a
pedestrian is trying to cross the
street. Drivers should watch for
these lights and be prepared to
stop for pedestrians in the
crosswalk. Pedestrians should
exercise caution when crossing.
Safety at intersections is very
important, and precautions should
be taken by both drivers and
pedestrians to ensure everyone's
safety. If you have questions
regarding the above, please contact
the Public Works Department at
847/317-7245. .b

Railroad Safety
Railroad collisions
unfortunately occur every day
in the United States. Many of
these collisions can be avoided
if drivers obey posted warning
signals and signs.
Train speeds can vary between
5 and 70 miles per hour; the
relative speed can be difficult
to judge. A freight train that
has approximately 150 cars
and is traveling at 30 miles
per hour will take over a half
mile to come a complete stop.
Increase the speed to 50, and
it takes 1.3 miles to stop; 60
miles per hour, and it can take
up to a mile and a half!
Deerfield has three railroad
crossings; all are located in
residential areas. Safety
around those crossings, and
all others wherever you drive,
should be a driver's primary
concern. Never race a train, go
around closed gates, or
assume that a train can stop if
you are on the track. The
following safety tips can help.
Don't stop once you start.
If you start over a crossing
and the lights start flashing or
the gates start to go down,
don't freeze; keep going! The
warning signals have been
designed to provide enough
time to drive over the crossing
before the train arrives. No
gates on the other side will
block your lane. Stopping and
trying to back up can waste
precious seconds or can cause
your car to stall.
Abandon your car if it stalls
on the tracks.
If your car is boxed in, or
stalls on the tracks, get
everyone out immediately and
get safely away from the tracks
and the car. No car is worth a
human life. Once safely away
from the car, call the police to
report the incident.
"Boxed in" can be fatal.
Gates will not completely trap
you, but a halt in traffic might.
Never drive onto a railroad
track until you are certain that
you can drive all the way across
safely.
Common Causes of Crossing
Crashes
Don't be a statistic - learning
from the following mistakes can
help to keep you safe.
• The person sees the train
coming, but misjudges the
distance and speed.
• The person races the train to
the crossing and is either hit
or hits the train.
• As the train clears the
intersection, the driver
immediately starts to cross
without regard for other trains
that may be coming from the
opposite direction.
• A person becomes too
familiar with a crossing and
uses no caution when
crossing.
• The person fails to observe
and obey the advance railroad
warning sign and signal
devices.
• A person is under the
influence of alcohol or drugs.
• With windows closed and the
radio blasting, the person
cannot hear the approach of
the train and fails to look.
• A pedestrian wearing
headphones cannot hear the
approaching train and fails to
look.
Remember. Pedestrians who
cross the tracks at the train
station while a warning signal is
sounding, or motorists who drive
around gates, can be subject to
fines from the Deerfield Police
Department. ate.

Clean Air Counts
The Village
recently 11,1.Visible
We're Making
became a
Bronze Level Di erence
partner in the
Clean Air Counts initiative.
Partnership involves seeking
ways to help lessen the ozone -
depleting emissions that are
released every day. By
implementing programs that
benefit the Deerfield
Community, and the greater
Chicagoland area as well, we
can all breathe a little easier. It
is important to remember that
what you do at home can help
to reduce harmful emissions.
Below is a list of quick facts
regarding emissions.
• The amount of pollution
emitted by a lawnmower
operating for one hour can
be as much as the amount
of pollution emitted by a
car driven for 100 miles.
• The average American home
has 3 to 10 gallons of
hazardous materials.
• Replacing 25% of your
home lighting with
fluorescent bulbs can save
you 50% on the lighting
portion of your energy bill.
• Reducing VOC (volatile

organic compounds)
emissions by I ton per year
is equivalent to taking 26
cars off the road.
24 of the largest automobile
manufacturers make low -
emission vehicles.
C For every 1000 acres of
land converted to native
landscaping, 50 tons of
ozone forming pollution
would be eliminated
annually.
G 1 ton of VOCs will be
eliminated for every 1,000
gallons of low-VOC paint
used.
C Energy Star qualified
lighting requires 2/3 less
energy than standard
lighting, generates 70% less
heat, and lasts up to 10
times longer.
O For every 5,000 households
that replaced 5
incandescent light bulbs
with 5 compact fluorescent
light bulbs, 4 tons of ozone
forming emissions would be
saved. (Source: Clean Air
Counts)
Look for additional information
on the Clean Air Counts
initiative in upcoming issues of
D-Tales. The Village is planning
several events this summer,
including a lawn -mower trade-in
program and gas can
replacement program that will
provide opportunities for
residents to assist in reducing
emissions. Individual
households can participate in
the Clean Air Counts initiative
too! For more information,
please visit

Senior Assistance
Program
Senior residents who are at
least 62 years old, maintain an
independent household and
meet certain income limits may
be eligible for financial
assistance under the Village's
Senior Housing Subsidy
Program administered by the
Deerfield Community Relations
Commission. If you would like
