that warmth comes new flowers, re-emergence of life, the need to clean out

Illinois
Garbage Amnesty Day is June 6th
Now is a great time to clean out your basement and garage. All of those
household items that you have been hanging on to for many years can now go
out to the curb. No paint, gasoline or solvents. No tires, dirt or large
landscape materials.
Citizen & Deer Surveys
Congratulations to the Adley family of Sterling Drive. Their survey was
randomly drawn as the winner of the set of 4 Bannockburn Cocktail Glasses.
In addition, the “One More Question” drawing of another set of 4
Bannockburn Cocktail Glasses was won by the Kim family of Telegraph Rd.
Thank you so much to everyone who participated in the surveys.
If you would like to see the full results of the survey responses the Village

Ash Tree and/or Dead/Diseased Tree
Removal—Don’t Forget the Permit
As ALL of the Ash Trees continue to die by the hands of the
Emerald Ash Borer (see the picture to the right showing the
marks left by the insect), please remember that you still
must apply for a tree removal permit from Village
Hall to have dead or diseased trees removed from your
property. There are no fees associated with the review of
dead or diseased trees on your property and you typically
have approval to remove the trees within 5-7 business days.
Remember, tree removal companies are NOT permitted to
work on the weekends without special permission from the
Village. The permit can be found online at:

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE CONTINUED
Summary of Citizen/Deer Survey Results





We received 56 responses this year (27 online & 29 paper copies).
When comparing 2015 to 2014, and looking at the “Service or
Condition”, “Public Information & Communication”, Public
Information & Communication – Police and Admin Staff”,
“Citizen’s Interaction with Village Government”, Citizen’s
Perception of Bannockburn” and the “Perception of Bannockburn
Green Retail Center”, the Village improved the satisfaction scores
on 19 of 37 of the total topics.
We also added a new category regarding the Village’s use of road
salt. The score indicated the perception regarding our use of salt
was “about right”.
The “Service or Condition”, “Public Information &
Communication”, “Public Information & Communication related
to Village Staff and Police Department Staff” all had scores of
greater than 4, which indicates satisfaction with those services.
The areas which are still below the “satisfied” range are “Interaction
with Plan Commission and Zoning Board of Appeals” (3.94),
“Interaction with Architectural Review Commission” (3.67),



“Quality of Retail Stores” in Bannockburn Green (3.97) and
“Quality of Restaurants” in Bannockburn Green (3.44).
When comparing 2015 to 2014 in regards to the event satisfaction,
Staff would note the following percentage score differences:
Concert in the Park saw an increase of 5.74% in satisfaction;
Community Safety Day at Bannockburn Green Retail Center saw
an increase of 6.25% in satisfaction; the Bannockburn Day Festival
saw an increase of 2.49% in satisfaction; the Golf Scramble saw an
increase of 9.28% in satisfaction; and the Winter Hayride and Singa-long saw an increase of 7.58% in satisfaction.
This year the “one last question survey” was added which asked
“what specific qualities about Bannockburn attracted you to the
Village when you originally purchased your home?” The top three
qualities were “lot size”, “natural physical beauty” and an
“abundance of trees and landscaping”.
Regarding the deer survey, a majority of the respondents felt that
deer activity was the same. Additionally, the most common
choice for “number of times deer were seen on the property” was
“between 1-10” (for the entire year).
The Bannockburn Wine and Cheese Party
On Friday, June 3rd, from 5 PM—7PM Heinen’s Grocery store and the Village of Bannockburn will co-host a wine and cheese
gathering at the Village Open Space Shelter. This is a great opportunity to come out and meet your neighbors. Check out the
details on the separate flyer that is enclosed with this newsletter. Please RSVP to Joan Koriath
(Jkoriath@villageofbannockburn.org) so we can properly plan the event. Please note that this is an adult only event.
Bannockburn Community Safety Day
On Saturday, June 11th from 10 AM-2 PM the Village of Bannockburn Police Department will be hosting the annual
Community Safety Day. Community Safety Day will be held at the Bannockburn Green Retail Center and will allow
you to visit with the Village’s Police officers and Fire fighters from the Deerfield-Bannockburn Fire Department. There

these codes. The Building Permit Applications are found online at:

Pet Owner Responsibility
Failure to clean up after your dog is deemed a public nuisance by the Village
(Ordinance 2004-5) and is subject to a $75 fine per offense. Please be a thoughtful
dog owner and clean up after your pet. Thank you!
Additionally, all dog owners who have not registered their dogs older than four
months are in violation of Ordinance 2004-5 and are subject to the penalties and
enforcement regulations. Please return the completed application. Applications are available
online at: www.bannockburn.org/residents/animals or at the Village Hall. Having your pet
registered also helps us locate animals that may get out of their fences
because the Village knows exactly what type of dog you have.

Motorcycle Safety Tips
Be Visible: Wear high-visibility clothing to make yourself
obvious. Also flash your brake light two or three times
before slowing down or stopping.
Intersections: Intersections are a common crash site for
motorcycles. Make sure to remain free from other car’s
blind spots by assuming you are invisible and that other
cars have not seen you.
Passing: Drivers must remember to give a motorcyclist
adequate space when passing. Stay in the designated
lanes and do not change lanes quickly.
Following Distance: All motorists should allow a
minimum 2 second “space cushion” when following
another vehicle. In poor weather conditions, allow a
four or five-second following distance.

Department of Transportation
Severe Weather Preparedness
Severe weather could happen at any time, and each year people suffer or are seriously injured by severe weather
despite advance warning. Take action by preparing yourself and loved ones for emergencies:

Know your risk. Understand the types of hazardous weather that can affect where you live and work. During
active weather, stay alert of the forecast by checking radio, TV, or weather.gov.

Take action. Develop an emergency plan based on your local weather patters and practice how and where to
take shelter before a severe weather event. Post the plan in your home where everyone can see it.

Be a Force of Nature. Once you have taken action, tell your friends, family, school staff and co-workers about
how they can prepare, and share the resources you have discovered through social media.

Scott’s Law—MOVE OVER!
Scott’s Law was passed in 2002 in honor of Scott Gillen of the Chicago Fire Department, who was
struck and killed by a drunk driver while assisting at a crash on a busy Chicago expressway.
Scott’s Law states: “When approaching a stationary emergency vehicle using visual signals, yield,
change to a lane away from the emergency vehicle, and proceed with caution. If a lane change is
not possible, reduce speed and proceed with caution”.
