Vol. 45, No. 1 - January/February 2023Message from the Mayor:
Daniel C. Shapiro
I hope 2023 finds you happy and healthy.
Each year, the Village Board holds several
budget discussions and
considers budgeting
the necessary funds to
ensure that infrastructure
improvement projects are
prioritized based on factors
such as critical need and
anticipated economic benefits. As part of this
year’s budget planning process, the Village
Board established a capital plan totaling
approximately $7.9M of expenses from the
2022 Infrastructure Replacement Fund.
These critical projects include, among other
things, the replacement of deteriorated
water mains along Waukegan Road between
Deerfield Road and North Avenue ($4.1M),
phosphorus removal upgrades to the water
reclamation facility ($1.5M), the third and
final year of the water meter head replacement
program ($300K), and the annual Street
Rehabilitation Program, which includes
general roadway maintenance on Village-
owned streets. They will be paid for using
bonds with a very small increase in the tax
levy of less than $20 for the average-priced
Deerfield home. These projects are long-term
investments in our infrastructure that will last
for decades.
The total expenditure budget for fiscal year
2023 is $57,331,634, which represents a
7.07% increase from last year’s budget. This
year’s expenditure increase is primarily due
to a general increase in the cost of goods
and services, one-time expenditures such as
equipment purchases and budget rollovers

Village Program Offsets
29% of Residential/Small
Business Annual Carbon
Electricity Footprint
Using funds from a civic contribution from
the electricity aggregation program, the
Village of Deerfield has offset the annual
electricity consumption and resulting carbon
generation of residential households and
eligible small businesses by 29%.
The Village has completed its first year of a
three-year electricity aggregation program
with MC Squared Energy Services (MC2).
The electricity aggregation program was
approved by the Village Board on July 6,
2021 and the program commenced with the
October/November 2021 ComEd Billing
cycle. All eligible customers pay the same
monthly electricity rate, regardless of whether
or not you are selected by MC2 to participate
in the program and all customers receive a
bill directly from ComEd. In other words, the
program is a ComEd price-match program
and everyone pays the same utility rate.
Through this program, the Village is able to
receive a civic contribution and utilize those
grant funds to benefit the entire community.
Specifically, the grant funds were utilized to
retire 23,530,000 kWh’s of Renewable Energy
Credits (“RECs”), which is equivalent to
offsetting the annual electricity consumption
for 29% of the residential households
2
due to supply chain delays. The property tax
levy increase is just 2.19%.
Sales tax is the single largest revenue
source for the Village. Shopping local
supports our local businesses while also
helping the Village. All of these dollars
help us make the necessary improvements
to our infrastructure and provide you
with top-notch Village services such as
police protection, garbage collection and
snow plowing.
Thank you to the Village Board of Trustees
for going through every line of this budget
and asking good questions to our staff. And
thank you to our staff for putting together a
budget that meets the needs of our Village
while investing in our future.
It has been a busy year for the Village. A list
of our top accomplishments in 2022 can be
found can later on this page.
Dan
and eligible small business customers.
Moreover, this equates to offsetting the
annual electricity consumption for 9%
of the entire community, when including
residential, commercial and industrial
sectors.
RECs represent the environmental
attributes of electricity generated from
renewable sources. The flexibility to
purchase RECs enables customers to offset
a percentage of their annual electricity
with certificates generated elsewhere. In
the Village’s case, the RECs were generated
from a Midwest-based wind farm.
Due to the successful outcome of this
program, the Village of Deerfield will
be recognized by the United States
Environmental Protection Agency (“US
EPA”) as a Green Power Community.
According the US EPA, by retiring
23,530,000 kWh’s of RECs, the Village of
Deerfield reduced the following carbon
dioxide equivalents:
• 41,391,519 miles driven by an average
gasoline powered passenger vehicle; or
• 18,449,704 pounds of coal burned; or
• 38,607 barrels of oil consumed; or
• 1,876,370 gallons of gasoline
consumed; or
• 680,931 propane cylinders used for
home barbecues; or
• 632,011 incandescent lamps switched
to LEDs

Village 2022 Major
Accomplishments
As Mayor Shapiro noted, 2022 was a
busy year for the Village of Deerfield
with advances in environmental policies,
investments in roads and infrastructure,
new development and more. Here is a list of
the major accomplishments from 2022.
• The Village Board approved a Climate
Action Report from the Greenhouse
Gas Reduction Ad Hoc Working
Group to reduce emissions by 45% by
2030 and become carbon neutral by
2050.
• The Village purchased two 2023
Chevrolet EUV Bolts to replace
administrative vehicles. These are the
Village’s very first all-electric vehicles.
The Village has a goal of purchasing a
total of 16 electric vehicles by 2030.
• The Village invested $7.7 million on
lasting infrastructure improvements,
including $3.3 million on street
rehabilitation.
• The Village launched a new Food
Truck Thursday series in the summer
with three events. The events were so
successful that they will be continued
next summer on Wednesdays with five
events.
• This year marked the successful
return of other community events,
including Harvest Fest and the Winter
Celebration last month.
• The Village approved the first applicant
for the Business Facade Rebate
Program. The properties at 827 and
829 Waukegan Road have new owners
who are rehabbing the interiors and
exteriors of the buildings to give them
a fresh, new look. The Village hopes
more businesses take part in this
program next year.
• The Village established a Downtown
TIF District to encourage private
investment and development of
properties that would otherwise
not occur. Staff is now researching
qualifying factors for a potential Lake
Cook Road TIF District.
• Staff completed go-live for 10 different
types of online building permits.
The new system allows residents
and contractors to apply for building
permits remotely including the
submission, review and payment
processes. This software enhancement
has resulted in process efficiencies and
improved customer service by reducing
permit review and issuance times.
• The budget and audit both received
the top best-practice awards from
the Government Finance Officers
Association and the Village maintained
its AAA bond rating.
• New affordable housing projects were
approved, including the new Heritage
Woods Northwest facility on Lake
Cook Road. It is a four-story, 150-unit,
affordable assisted living facility that
will serve those over the age of 65
with incomes at or below 80% of area
median income. Staff continued to
work with the developer to complete
the Zion Woods low-income housing
development on Deerfield Road.

Adopt-a-Hydrant
The Village of Deerfield has a program
to ensure that firefighters can access fire
hydrants during an emergency. In the winter
months, heavy snowfall makes finding and
accessing fire hydrants difficult, and every
second counts during an emergency. We
are asking residents, business owners and
community groups to consider participating
in the Adopt-A-Hydrant Program.
Participants get to name their hydrant to
show their commitment to public safety.
Participation involves the following:
• Ensuring the adopted fire hydrant is
clearly visible from the street.
• Keeping the fire hydrant free of snow
and ice. Snowfall and associated
plowing activities can often hide
hydrants under large amounts of snow,
making them difficult to locate quickly
in the event of an emergency.
• Keeping clearances of at least three
feet all around the hydrant. Please use
caution when shoveling.
• Keeping the hydrant free of grass,
weeds and debris.

Teen Connect Program
Deerfield’s TeenConnect program aims to
connect teens who are able to do outside
yard work, including raking leaves and
shoveling snow, with Deerfield residents
who need the service.
The TeenConnect list will provide contact
information for Deerfield teens including
the name and phone number of the teen,
days of availability, type of work they are
willing to do and their expected rate of pay.
Right now, the Village is especially looking
for teens to add to the list.

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 two 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. If using
a snow removal service, please
instruct contractors to abide by
Village regulations.
• Please be a good neighbor and shovel
and clear the sidewalks in front of your
home for pedestrian safety.
• Remember to shovel an extra area on
your driveway apron or parkway for
your refuse and recycling bins to be
picked up by Lakeshore Recycling.
Winter Tree trimming
The Village’s Public Works Department is
responsible for trimming parkway trees for
traffic clearance, to preserve the tree’s health
and appearance and to prevent possible
damage to human life and property. The
Village has established a 4-year cycle for the
parkway tree trimming program. Deerfield
is divided into quadrants with Deerfield
Road as the north/south divider and
Waukegan Road the east/west divider. One
of these quadrants is maintained each year.
This year’s trimming will take place in the
northeast quadrant.
Trimming work is scheduled for the dor-
mant season to avoid unnecessary damage
or trauma to the tree.
Trimming is done in accordance with pro-
fessional standards and may include cutting
lower limbs for clearance and thinning of
the crown.
For questions or concerns, contact the Public
Works Department at 847.317.7245. e

Know the 9 p.m. Routine
Have you seen or heard about the 9 p.m.
Routine on social media? This program is
designed to help you prevent burglaries
and thefts from your home, cars or
personal property.
Too often these are crimes of opportunity
perpetrated by criminals looking for an
easy target. An unlocked car with valuables
easily visible is an irresistible temptation
for some thieves.
Similarly, a residence with poor exterior
lighting or an open garage door might
entice a burglar to take a closer look at
your property.
How can the 9 p.m. Routine help?
Humans are creatures of habit. We want
you to get into the habit each night of
making sure you’ve secured your home
and vehicle and taken proactive steps
to combat auto thefts and break-ins.
Every night at 9 p.m., we encourage the
community to: BRING IN valuables from
your car, yard, and patio; LOCK UP your
car, house, windows, garage, gates and
shed; TURN ON exterior lights and alarm
systems.
This campaign has proved successful
throughout the country and we look
forward to implementing it in the Village
of Deerfield.
Please partner with us, your neighbors and
our community to help deter crimes of
opportunity with this proven and effective
program. Stick to it every night, just like
brushing your teeth! e
Thank You for Giving
The Deerfield Police Department would
like to express our sincere thanks to the
members of our community for your
generosity and support throughout
the year, particularly during this 2022
holiday season.
With your help, we have exceeded
our prior year’s donations to several
worthwhile organizations, all of whom
have witnessed an increased demand for
their services. Thanks to your kindness,
we have been able to make many people’s
lives a little better. In partnership with
you, in 2022, we raised thousands of
dollars for Special Olympics and the
Cancer Wellness Center of Northbrook;
provided truckloads of toys for Toys for
Tots, Lutheran General Hospital, Ronald
McDonald House, and Mercy Home
for Boys and Girls; supplied coats and
provisions for our veterans, and more.
We thank you from the bottom of
our hearts.

Your Child and 9-1-1
9-1-1 is a vital part of the emergency
response system. If an emergency situation
exists and the only person who is able to
call 9-1-1 is a child, that child’s knowledge
of 9-1-1 and how to use the system can be
the key to getting the help that is needed.
Here are some tips to help arm your
child with the tools they need to make a
9-1-1 call:
Teach your child their last name, their par-
ent’s names, their home address and phone
number. Always list this information near
the phone.
Teach your child the name of your
employer and the phone number.
Teach your child when they should
call 9-1-1.
Teach your child to not be afraid to call
9-1-1 if there is any doubt as to whether
they should.
Teach your child to dial “Nine, One, One”
and never teach them “Nine Eleven”, this
might confuse the child and they may look
for the number eleven on the phone.
Make sure your child can reach at least
one of the phones in your house. Wall
mounted phones can be unreachable for
small children.
Discuss with your child any situations
that may be unique to them. This could
include an elderly live-in relative; younger
sibling or other unique factor that the
child might encounter.
Always call from a safe location. If the
house is on fire, get out and call from a
nearby phone.
Also, teach your child how to use your
home phone and your cell phone to
call 9-1-1.
For questions or concerns, contact the Deerfield
Police Department at 847-945-8636. e
Public Art Program
Open House Feb. 8
The Deerfield Fine Arts Commission will
host a community open house to showcase
the pieces selected for the seventh year of
the Deerfield Public Art Program before
they are put on display throughout the
Village.
The event will be held in the Deerfield
Public Library, 920 Waukegan Road, from
6 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Wednesday, February 8,
and will feature many of the artists who cre-
ated this year’s pieces. Light refreshments
will be served.
Multiple media are featured in this
year’s selections and all selected artists
live in Deerfield. Artists include Ruth
Hecht, Kimberly Perl, Matt Plofsky, Bari
Wieselman Schulman, Leslie Outten, Karen
Grage, Linda Trytek, Elizabeth Castro and
Brian Lantz, Robert S. Bloom and Amy
Duffy. The artists will discuss their work
and answer questions from the public in a
“Meet the Artist” forum at the open house.
The specific artwork selected for display
were chosen from submissions by a very tal-
ented pool of artists and were reviewed via
jury process. The Fine Arts Commission is
responsible for reviewing artwork submis-
sions and making a final recommendation.
The artists have agreed to loan their works
of art for public display for up to one year.
Pieces from the previous Public Art
Program will remain on display until the
open house.
For more information, contact the Village
Manager’s Office at 847.719.7400.
Dogs Are Required To
Be Leashed
All dogs in the Village are required to be
leashed. No owner or any person entitled
to the custody of any dog shall permit the
dog to be at large or to confine the dog in a
manner so that it can escape and be at large,
unless the dog is securely confined upon a
leash of sufficient strength not more than
three feet (3’) and accompanied by any able
bodied person capable of controlling the ac-
tions of the dog under any circumstance.
Remember to pick up after your pets
and properly dispose of animal waste. Be
courteous to your neighbors and only
dispose of animal waste in your own
garbage receptacle.
For more information, please view the Deer-
field Municipal Code at www.deerfield.il.us e
DYBSA Spring 2023
Registration Now Open
Registration for Deerfield Youth Baseball

Monday, April 3, through Saturday, June 10.

Beware of Tax Scams
Tax scams tend to rise during tax season
or during times of crisis; unfortunately, we
find ourselves in the midst of both. Scam
artists are using this season to try and
steal money and information from honest
taxpayers.
The IRS will never initiate contact with
taxpayers via e-mail about a tax bill, refund
or Economic Impact Payments. Don’t click
on links claiming to be from the IRS. The
IRS will never demand immediate payment,
threaten, or ask for financial information
over the phone.
Taxpayers can find legitimate and qualified
charities with the search tool on IRS.gov
to avoid fake charities. Senior citizens
and those who care about them need to
be on alert for tax scams targeting older
Americans. e
