If you live in Area C, please have all of your tree limbs/branches at the curbline (not blocking your sidewalks) by this date. Once all streets in Area C have been picked up, the crews will then move on to Area D. Please do not place yardwaste at the curb during this pickup, because it will not be picked up. Yardwaste collection begins on April 16th. Please check the Village website, under My Village Services, to determine your yardwaste collection day.
As a reminder, the crews will remove the limbs and branches from every street in each section only once and after this pickup has taken place, there will be no additional pickups for these tree limbs and branches.

We should implement same rules as private organizations for salary, vacation time, benefits and pension.
Village employees now get salary that’s equivalent to private organizations, but vacation, benefits and pension is twice or more compared to what we ourselves are making at our private jobs.
We should not be forced to pay more than what we make ourselves to our village employees.
