At last night's Committee of the Whole meeting, Village staff presented the results of the Garbage Collection Survey and request for proposal process to the Village Board.

Based on the findings from Phase I of the Garbage Collection Analysis and the anticipated benefits of outsourcing illustrated in Phase II, staff recommended to the Village Board that the Village contract with Lakeshore Recycling Services, our current recycling collection provider, for garbage collection services. 

The Village Board has asked staff to begin negotiating a contract with LRS and to continue evaluating quarterly fees. We anticipate that the Board will consider a contract in late summer.

Read about Phase I and II of the analysis and learn about the benefits of outsourcing from the information linked below.
 

Last Friday, July 14, the Public Safety Department responded to over 20 incidents of vehicle burglary, including two auto-thefts that had occurred in the overnight hours. All of the vehicles were left unlocked by owners, making for easy targets.

It is imperative that you do your part to keep your neighbors and our Public Safety Officers safe by always locking your vehicles and removing any valuables - no exceptions.
