Residents, Businesses
Eligible for Electricity
Rate Savings Programs
The price of electricity made headlines lately, as voters in many
communities throughout Illinois passed referenda allowing their
municipalities to arrange for the supply of electricity for residential
and small commercial retail customers instead of relying on ComEd.
On January 1, 2010, the Illinois legislature authorized municipalities,
upon voter approval via referendum, to aggregate their communities’
energy needs in order to negotiate with an alternate electric power
supplier. Municipal aggregation allows communities to jointly
aggregate all residential and small business customers of ComEd
into a group for the purpose of securing lower electricity rates from
designated alternate retail electricity suppliers. This results in an “optout” program in which residents are automatically enrolled after their
municipality completes the electricity bidding process.
While the Village Board in Roselle decided not to place a referendum
question regarding municipal aggregation of electricity on the March
2012 election ballot, residents and small business owners can instead
realize immediate short-term savings on electricity through several
alternate electricity supply programs currently being offered.
For example, Clean Air Counts, a campaign created by the
Metropolitan Mayors Caucus (of which Roselle is a member),
launched an energy savings program to provide lower rates to
residents through an “opt-in” electrical aggregation program with
Integrys Energy Services. One advantage to an “opt-in” program is
that residents and business owners are able to tap into electricity
savings quickly, without a community bidding process. Information
about this program is available on the Clean Air Counts website at
www.cleanaircounts.org.
The Citizens Utility Board website has a great resource for those
interested in learning more about alternative power suppliers
and the rates that they are offering. Visit their website at www.
citizensutilityboard.org to access a special fact sheet on electric
competition.
Plug In Illinois, an online resource from the Illinois Commerce
Commission, also has information on electricity choices and compares
current offers. Visit www.pluginillinois.org online for more information.
Sample Alternate
Supplier: Rate Plan &
Potential Savings
6.100¢
per kWh rate from
Integrys Energy Services
through June 2013
7.733¢
per kWh - current
ComEd rate
If your ComEd bill was
$80
this month, it would have
been
$68
if Integrys Energy Systems
supplied your electricity.
That adds up to a
$144
savings over one year.

July 4 Fireworks Display Canceled
The July 4 fireworks display has been canceled for 2012. The
fireworks display has not been included in the Village’s budget for
the past several years, but the tradition continued with generous
sponsorships from community groups in 2010 and 2011.
Without a sponsor for 2012 and funding eliminated in the
Village’s annual budget, the fireworks show has been canceled.
The Village of Roselle would like to thank the Taste of Roselle for
sponsoring the 2010 fireworks display, and Roselle Chamber of
Commerce and its member businesses for sponsoring the 2011
fireworks display.
Coffee with the Village Board
Do you have questions about what’s happening in the Village of Roselle? Coffee with the Village Board is
a great opportunity to meet and talk with the Mayor and Board of Trustees.
The Coffee with the Board series is scheduled for the first Saturday of the month. Upcoming Coffee with
the Board meetings will be held May 5, June 2, and July 7 from 9:00 to 10:30 a.m. at Village Hall.
Unlike regular Village Board or Committee of the Whole meetings, this informal session provides
residents and business owners an opportunity to discuss issues affecting them and the community.
Whether it be an update on Main Street, Irving Park Road, or Lake Street/Gary Avenue redevelopment
efforts, or a few questions about the Village’s code enforcement procedures, the Mayor, Trustees, and
Village Staff will be prepared to assist you.
So come in and enjoy a cup of coffee and chat with your local elected officials.

The Roselle Reporter
Mayor’s Message
It is hard to believe the first three months of 2012 are already
gone and we survived the “winter” with very little cold or snow.
Of course, we will pay for this during the summer, where experts
are predicting a larger than average bug population. I know I
have already seen mosquitoes! I guess a long period of time,
with sub zero temperatures, does have its benefits!
Calling volunteers—especially former Rose Queen contestants!
Since this newsletter will carry us until June, I want to mention
our annual Rose Queen Pageant, which has been a continual
tradition in Roselle for 52 years. It is on May 18 this year,
with details contained in another section of the newsletter.
After running the pageant for 25 years, our current committee
members are retiring. We need volunteers if we want the
tradition to continue! Linda McDermott and Teri Hodgdon
will be happy to talk with anyone interested in what the job
entails and then to oversee a smooth transition. Please call
my assistant, Jeanne Calvert at (630) 671-2804, and we will
forward your name to Linda or Teri.
While we are making progress on our budget deficit, and our
sales tax revenue seems to be rebounding, the Village Board is
still mindful of our tax dollars and how we spend them. Please
remember, we estimate our total property tax receipts at $4.8
million and the cost for public safety alone is over $10 million.
Everything, from big budget purchases to little expenditures,
comes under scrutiny. For example, the Board is forgoing a Rose
Parade float again and is walking behind our American Legion
color guard. Another casualty of the budget crunch is the
cancellation of our fireworks this year. Last year the Chamber of
Commerce, and a few individual businesses, picked up the cost
of the fireworks for the Village. They do not have the resources
to do it again and this is an expense we could not justify until
our revenues recover. I wanted to make sure you were aware of
this, so you can make arrangements to attend fireworks in other
locations.
Now that the primary is over and I am no longer a candidate
for State office, I want to share some of my observations with
you. Running for any office takes a willingness to serve, time
away from families and a sacrifice of energy
and money—no matter what party you
represent and whether or not you like the
candidate. While I met many wonderful people
as I knocked on doors from Roselle to Park Ridge, I
also met many who could not be bothered to talk to me for 2
minutes. With 12,000+ households in this district, and on a
cold wintery Sunday afternoon, I was told to come back another
day. Really? Think about the logistics of scheduling individual
time slots for that many households. I was further mystified by
a recent letter to the editor in the Daily Herald where a citizen
said she wouldn’t vote for anyone who called or mailed her or
showed up on her door step to ask for her vote. Again, really?
Something tells me she isn’t investing time to research each
candidate for every position on the ballot. It appears that with
all the ways to get connected, many of us are more disconnected
than ever. There is a point to my observations.
Is anyone in Roselle interested in forming a League of Women
Voters; or a League of Interested voters? The purpose of this
non-partisan group of men and women would be to provide a
forum for candidates and the electorate to interact during an
election, either during informal coffees or a more structured
debate. I know this was an issue in the last municipal election. A
group like this might provide an impetus to engage more voters
to come out and learn about candidates and issues in a local
setting, on a date that they can plan for in advance. It would
be nice to have more than 20 percent of the registered voters
involved enough in an election that they might be compelled to
vote.
If you are interested, please call me at (630) 671-2807. That is
my number at Village Hall, for the initial contact. I will see what
the response is and contact you personally from there. So many
other communities have this type of organization. I would like to
see Roselle be among them.
Speak Out!
“Speak Out” provides a way in which YOU can communicate with the Village of Roselle elected officials and administration. Your advice,
suggestions, questions and opinions are appreciated and will receive a response. If you need more space, please attach a separate sheet.

Great Neighbor
Sprinkling Hours in Effect May 15
Susan and John Sgarlata from the
Chesapeake Landing subdivision
in Roselle are great neighbors.
The Sgarlatas were nominated
for Roselle’s Great Neighbors
program by their neighbor,
Cheryl Visockis.
“The Sgarlata family is extremely
thoughtful and generous,” Cheryl
said. “Susan regularly provides
babysitting services for many neighbors’
children and pets. Susan and John often stop
over with home-baked snacks and even soup when I am ill.
Susan is such a helpful neighbor – she keeps an eye on the
houses on our street. When I was at work, an electrician
left my garage door open—Susan and John were there
to close it and maintain the safety of my home. If Susan
is having any remodeling done at her home, she will ask
other neighbors if they are interested working together for
a group discount.”
“We have lived in Roselle for 30 years and are the original
owners of our home in Chesapeake Landing,” said Susan.
“We love living in Roselle for many reasons. It’s close
to shopping and the community is very welcoming and
friendly. We have been members of St. Walter’s parish since
moving here and our daughter graduated from the school
last year. The church and school has been a big part of our
life. We are so thankful for our home and our neighbors
and we are willing to help out whenever we can.”
The Village of Roselle’s sprinkling ordinance is in effect from May 15
through September 15. Sprinkling hours are between 5:00 to
9:00 a.m. and 6:00-10:00 p.m. Those with odd-numbered addresses
may sprinkle on odd-numbered days; those with even-numbered
addresses may sprinkle on even-numbered days. For additional water
conservation, automated sprinkling systems controlled by a timer shall
only be permitted to operate between the hours of midnight and
6:00 a.m.

waste hauler, Republic Services, is no longer picking up electronic waste
at the curb. Visit the Village website at www.roselle.il.us/recycling for
links to agencies accepting electronic waste for recycling.
“Roselle is made up of superior citizens who not only
care deeply about their community but cherish their
neighbors,” Cheryl said. “I have the feeling of ‘safety in
neighbors’ thanks to neighbors like the Sgarlatas.”
Great Neighbor Nomination
Do you know of a great neighbor in town that makes
Roselle a wonderful place to live? Is there an unsung hero
in your neighborhood? Please send your nominations to
“Great Neighbor” Village of Roselle, 31 S. Prospect Street,

roselle.il.us.

them will be invited to a Village Board meeting where they

Village Board Adopts Legislative Priorities
The Roselle Village Board passed a resolution at its February
13 meeting adopting the municipal legislative priorities and
principles recommended by the DuPage Mayors and Managers
Conference for the 2012 Illinois General Assembly legislative
session. The Village of Roselle is a member of the DuPage
Mayors and Managers Conference.
Established as critical priorities for 2012 are continued reforms
to the police and fire pension systems – to recognize the
ongoing stress these pensions place on municipalities and
taxpayers while protecting the pension system obligations; and
protecting the financial survival of municipalities. The DuPage
Mayors and Managers Conference continues to promote the
idea that the state should not balance its budget on the backs
of municipalities, and should not disrupt local budgets by
removing or reducing local revenues.
Additional adopted priorities include protecting the public
rights-of-way, the modernization of public utilities, western
access to O’Hare International Airport, and the removal of the
sunset date on the wireless emergency Telephone Safety Act.
In addition to legislative priorities,
the DuPage Mayors and Managers
Conference adopted legislative principles
that reflect the important elements that
are necessary to permit municipalities
to serve residents effectively and to
protect the health, safety, and welfare
of the community. These principles
include protecting municipal revenues,
eliminating legislative barriers to the
joint provision of municipal services,
preserving and protecting local authority, and
the implementation of a streamlined sales tax.
To learn more about the Village of Roselle’s legislative advocacy
activities, please visit the Legislation Gateway web page on the
Village web site at roselle.il.us/legislation. More information
about the DuPage Mayors and Managers Conference can be
found online at www.dmmc-cog.org.

Dogs Prohibited at Public
Events
Dogs are prohibited at all public
events in Roselle. Excluding dogs
from events such as the Rose Festival,
the Rose Parade, Run for the Roses,
the Taste of Roselle and others is
both for the protection of people and
for the welfare of the dogs, who frequently
become excited due to the large number of
people. Dogs can become unpredictable and may
bite with little or no provocation. Village ordinance states the
following:
Sec. 4-29. Dogs at Public Events
No person shall bring to, or keep or maintain, any dog at any
public event of the village including but not limited to the Lions
Carnival, the Rose Parade, Fourth of July Festivities and the Taste
of Roselle. This provision shall not prohibit the presence of
dogs assisting the handicapped or any dog being used by law
enforcement or public safety officials within the course of their
official duties.

Roselle Police Department Awarded ILEAP
Accreditation
In January 2012, the Illinois Law Enforcement Accreditation
Program (ILEAP) Council voted unanimously to award
accreditation to the Roselle Police Department. With the
accreditation, the Roselle Police Department is one of only eight
departments in Illinois to achieve this level of accreditation.

Police Department Secretary Kim Farrell, Deputy Police Chief Roman Tarchala,
former Roselle Police Chief James Kruger, Interim Police Chief Steve Herron,
Detective/Sergeant John Lawson
ILEAP has developed rules and regulations establishing an
accreditation process that encourages law enforcement agencies
to voluntarily demonstrate that they meet the model standards
developed by the ILEAP Accreditation Council. Having made
the commitment several years ago to recognize the importance
of having up-to-date policies and procedures, the Roselle
Police Department’s policies and procedures had been recently
updated and re-written.
In November 2011, an independent team from ILEAP,
representing the Illinois Association of Chiefs of Police, came
to the Roselle Police Department to review and examine all
aspects of the department’s policies, procedures, management,
operations, and support services, and compared them against
established criteria of professional excellence. During the twoday on site assessment, the team conducted a station tour,
examined policies and procedures, held ride-alongs with patrol
officers, interviewed Village officials and held public telephone
call-in sessions for citizen participation.
AARP Driver Safety Program
The Roselle Police Department, in cooperation with the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP), is hosting a
Driver Safety Program on May 23 & 24. The two-day course will meet from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. each day at
the Roselle Police Department, 103 S. Prospect Street. The cost is $12.00 for AARP members or $14.00
for non-members. The fee covers all classroom materials. Coffee and rolls will be served.
This course is open to all drivers. The Driver Safety Program results in safer roads for everyone. Older
drivers benefit from increased confidence on the road, better driving records, lower insurance rates
and a continuing mobile, independent lifestyle for additional years. Several automobile insurance
companies provide multi-year premium reductions to graduates of the course who are
55 years of age or older.
Course registration applications are available for download on the Roselle Police Department web
site at www.roselle.il.us/police. For further information or alternative class dates and locations, contact
Sergeant Hourigan by e-mail dhourigan@roselle.il.us or call (630) 671-4067.

Extreme Weather Safety
Spring is a very active time when it comes to weather. As the
temperature begins to climb be aware of rapidly changing
weather so that you do not become caught in a dangerous
situation.
Lightning Safety
The spring season is the prime time of the year for
thunderstorms to develop. Along with extreme winds, torrential
downpours, flash floods, and hail, thunderstorms produce
lightning. Take precautions in order to avoid becoming the victim
of a lightning strike.
Have a plan: when you first see lightning or hear thunder move
to a safe place. Lightning often precedes rain so do not wait
until it is too late to move out of danger.
If outdoors: some places to avoid are high ground areas, open
spaces, areas with water, underneath canopies, underneath
small picnic or rain shelters, and anywhere near trees. A few
other places to avoid are those areas near anything metal,
as it conducts electricity, including electric wires, fences,
machinery, motors, and power tools. A safe place to go would
be into a substantial building, or a fully enclosed car, truck, or
van. Remember to keep all of your windows closed. If you are
caught outside with no place to go crouch down with your feet
together, and be sure to place your hands over your ears to
deaden the sound of nearby thunder. Also, keep a minimum of
15 feet between yourself and other people.
If indoors: avoid taking a shower or bath during a thunderstorm,
as lightning can be conducted through pipes and water if it
hits your house. Move to the interior of your house, avoiding
windows and doors. Avoid using your phone, computer, and any
other appliance that is plugged into an outlet.
Finally, be sure to wait at least 30 minutes after the last
observed lightning or thunder before heading outdoors.
Outdoor Grill Safety
General Tips
• Read the instruction manual and safety warnings first.
• Don’t grill inside a home or garage.
• Close the lid and all
vents when done cooking.
• Don’t wear loose fitting
clothing around the grill and tie
back long hair.
• Take extra care during windy
conditions.
• Don’t use water to control any flareups.
• For grease fires, close all vents, turn off
burners, and close lid.
• Don’t allow children to play around the
grill.
• Remember, the grill stays hot long after
cooking. Notify the Fire Department
immediately with any fire or emergency.
Gas Grills
• Check gas connections with soap and water solution
Do not use a match.
• Clean the opening where gas lines go into the grill.
• Open lid prior to igniting gas.
• If the grill does not ignite after a few seconds, allow the grill
to air out before trying again.
• Clean excess grease regularly.
Charcoal Grills
• Don’t add lighter fluid to a fire that is already lit.
• If using fluid to start the coals, only use charcoal lighter fluid.
• If using an electric starter, make sure cord is not in a position
to melt or that the starter is left in after coals are hot.
• Be careful where placing a hot starter after it has been used.
• Don’t remove the ashes until they are cold.

Improvement Program. Weather
permitting, work on Larson Lane
is scheduled to begin on April 10
and is slated for completion prior to
Memorial Day weekend.
Additional street improvements are
scheduled to get under way in early-April,
and are expected to be completed by late-June.
The following streets are included in the Village’s street program
this year:

may occur at driveways. There will be a period of a few days
after concrete curb is installed that access to driveways will be
restricted for curing of the concrete. Overnight parking on the
road or at a nearby side street will be allowed during curb repair.
Many streets in the program will be patched this year, to cover
more streets with available funding. Inconvenience should be
minimal. Motorists are reminded to drive slowly and carefully
through road construction zones.
Public Works Offering Free Mulch to Residents
Mulch is a tree’s best friend. It insulates the soil, retains
moisture, helps keep weeds down, prevents compaction,
protects tree bark from lawn mowers and even adds an aesthetic
touch to the yard. A large volume of commercial-grade mulch is
expected to be available after June 1.
The Public Works Department will provide a limited amount of
free mulch to Roselle residents this summer. Branches cut as part
of the Village’s parkway tree trimming program will be chipped
and used for the free mulch program.
Free delivery can be arranged by calling the Public Works
Department’s mulch hotline at (630) 671-2389. Please use the
voicemail system to leave your name, your address, your daytime
phone, number of truckloads requested and the location of your
driveway to dump the mulch. One truck load is approximately
two to three cubic yards. Deliveries will be made on a first call,
first served basis, based upon availability.
Did You Know?
Emerald Ash Borer Update
Due to emerald ash borer (EAB) infestations, Roselle’s ash trees
are declining at a similar rate predicted by tree care specialists,
and evidence of the infestation spreading has already been
observed. The rate of decline, which anticipates all untreated ash
trees to decline within three to five years of being infected, was
reported in the official EAB Management Plan adopted by the
Village last year.
The Village is currently treating 640 publicly owned ash trees as
part of the EAB Management Plan, and is removing ash
trees on public property as they decline. Removal
of critically infected ash trees is slated to begin in
early-April.
Reforestation efforts, including promotion
of the 50/50 shared cost parkway tree
replacement program, are scheduled to begin
later this year.
10
The emerald ash borer is a small metallic green beetle native
to Asia. It was confirmed in Roselle in 2010 and has already
claimed many of the Village’s ash trees. The most visible sign of
infestation is tree crown die back, which appears after the first
year. Branches at the top of the crown die, with more branches
dying in subsequent years. Typically, the tree will be completely
dead in about three years. Adult beetles emerging from trees
leave a very small, 1/8 inch diameter “D” shaped exit hole that
may appear on the trunk or upper branches.
The Village is not treating trees on private property, but
residents may elect to hire a certified arborist to assist them
with tree concerns on their property. The Village Code of
Ordinances requires homeowners to remove infected ash trees
if they are determined to be a public nuisance. To learn more
about the emerald ash borer, contact Village Forester Mike
Schulz at (630) 671-2368, or visit the EAB page on the Village
website at www.roselle.il.us/EAB.

The Roselle Reporter
Community Development
With warm weather and sunny days come the fun of travel,
outdoor activities, and yard work. The Village of Roselle would
like to remind residents about several ordinances that relate to
spring and summer activities. Code enforcement officers have
been responding to citizen complaints and are issuing tickets,
particularly for parking vehicles over sidewalks, weed and lawn
maintenance, and the placement of garbage carts. Please call
(630) 980-2000 with any questions.
Recreational Vehicles, Trailers, Campers & Boats
Recreational vehicles cannot be permanently parked in the
driveway. This includes, but is not limited to boats, campers,
all types of trailers, automobiles not regularly used for normal
travel, and recreational vehicles such as snowmobiles and ATVs.
According to Village Code, recreational vehicles shall not exceed
eight feet in width, twenty-nine feet in length, including hitch, or
ten feet in height, excluding mast. All vehicles designed for offroad use shall be properly registered with the Village and State.
These vehicles may be parked or stored in an enclosed garage or
accessory building, or outside under the following conditions:
• Only one vehicle is permitted
• Vehicle shall be on a hard surface that will not rust or
create dust
• In rear or side yard, but not closer than five feet to
your property line
• R.V. campers may be parked in the driveway for a period
not to exceed 48 hours per calendar week for the
purpose of loading and unloading the vehicle
• Landscaping or a solid wood fence not to exceed
six feet in height shall be provided as a screen to
soften the impact of the vehicle on the surrounding
properties.
Weed and Lawn Maintenance
The beauty of the Roselle community is reflected through
well-kept lawns. The arrival of spring means that there may be
violations concerning acceptable lawn length.
According to the Village of Roselle Code of Ordinances, seeds,
grass or plants (excluding bushes, vegetables, flowers or
ornamental plants) may not exceed a height of eight inches. If
a lawn exceeds eight inches in height, a code inspector will visit
the property to confirm the violation and notify the homeowner
that the lawn needs to be cut to an acceptable length.
After a code violation notification
is given, a homeowner has seven
days to bring the lawn into
compliance. If the lawn is still
not cut, a citation will be
issued and a landscaping
company will be contracted
by the Village to cut the
lawn. The homeowner will
subsequently be billed for the
work. If these fees are not paid,
the homeowner will have a lien
placed against the property.
Stagnant Water
With the recent spread of the West Nile Virus, the Village of
Roselle has deemed stagnant water to be a nuisance because
it is a breeding ground for mosquitoes. Village residents
may beautify their yards with ponds as long as the water is
continually circulated to prevent it from becoming stagnant.
Outdoor pools are also allowed as long as local ordinances are
observed. Pools must be covered when not in use, and stagnant
water should not be allowed to collect on the pool cover. Yards
with pools must be fenced and locked, and the homeowner must
have all appropriate building permits.
Placement and Storage of Refuse and Recycling
Carts
The Village of Roselle Code of Ordinances contains several
guidelines regarding the storage and placement of refuse and
recycling carts when not placed out for pickup on garbage
collection days.
Refuse and recycling carts must be stored out of view from the
street, which may include storage within a garage or shed, or in the
back yard. Carts that are stored on the side of a house must be fully
screened from the street by shrubbery or a fence. Residents may
elect to request a smaller cart from Republic Services at
(847) 981-0091 to help accommodate inside storage.
Refuse and recycling carts may be placed out after 6:00 p.m. the
day before scheduled pickup, and must be removed before midnight
of the day on which collections occur. Enforcement of these
ordinances will continue throughout the spring and summer.

With a completely renovated interior and daily drink and food specials, Roselle’s newest restaurant,
Bulldog Ale House, 394 E. Irving Park Rd., held its grand opening in February 2012. According to
Bulldog Manager Paul Marrin, the daily specials are designed with families in mind. “For a family of 4
to go out and spend $100, that’s just not feasible for some. Our specials are meant to attract families with
good food for a great price. We’re not just a sports bar, we’re definitely a place for families to come.”
The opening of the Roselle location of Bulldog marks a multi-city expansion for the locally-owned eatery, which has a location in Carol
Stream and is opening another in Saint Charles later this year. According to Marrin, with the opening at the Roselle location came an
expansion in the menu, with 38 new items on the restaurant’s menu. “We’re including steaks and salmon on our menu now, but you can
still come in for some great wings. We’ve got a casual, comfortable atmosphere that is family oriented, and I think it really works here in
Roselle.”
In addition to joining the Roselle Chamber of Commerce, Bulldog Ale House is interested in giving back to the community by sponsoring
little league and other sports teams. Bulldog Ale House is open Sunday through Thursday 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 a.m. and Saturday & Sunday,
11:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m. Call (630) 529-0333 or visit Bulldog online at www.bulldogalehouse.com/roselle-location for more information,
including a list of daily food and drink specials.
