PUBLIC COMMENT Margie Stone, 531 Hermitage, asked why there
was a delay in Highland Park notifying the
Village about the need for a water boil order last month. It was explained that
the EPA was trying to work with the two municipalities to see if Deerfield's
system could be isolated in order to avoid Deerfield customers having to boil
water. It was decided to take a_.conservative approach and issue the boil order.
Mrs. Stone also asked the Village board to
consider a smoking ban similar to regulations recently imposed by Highland Park.
PROCLAMATION Mayor Harris asked the Board to approve a
proclamation supporting two high school
students, Carli Lustig and Julie Futterman, who are organizing a 3K walk in
Deerfield to raise money for Alzheimer's research and awareness. Trustee Swanson
moved, seconded by Trustee Seiden, to pass a proclamation designating May 15,
2005 as "A Walk to Remember Day" in Deerfield. The motion passed unanimously.
