Due to a substantial increase in housing construction, the Village
of Lakemoor believes that the population has grown sufficiently enough to
warrant conducting a Special Census.
Since State income tax and
motor fuel tax is based on a per capita distribution, an increase in the
Village’s population means substantial increased revenues. This additional
revenue is helpful to pay for necessary Village services as well as holding the
line on property tax bills.
The Village urges residents to
cooperate with the U.S. Census Bureau and census workers so that an accurate
population count can be taken. All information obtained during census
interviews will only be used for the purpose of the Special Census. No
government agency, IRS, FBI, CIA, Welfare, Immigration or the Village can obtain
your individual responses. Moreover, the information cannot and will not
be used for any municipal code enforcement.
More information
will be sent to Village residents when exact census dates are known.

PLOWING
Please remember, all of the
roads cannot be plowed at the same time. The priorities are:
* Major road and intersections are cleared first
*
Primary collector streets are cleared by repeated plowing
*
Feeder streets, cul-de-sacs and dead-ends are plowed last
Mailboxes should be secure to handle the snow thrown during
plowing. Clearing of mailbox areas is the property owner’s
responsibility. PARENTS: KEEP YOUR CHILDREN AWAY FROM THE ROADWAYS
AND THE SNOW MOUNDS CREATED BY THE PLOWS. We know these snow banks are
inviting to children but it is extremely hazardous. In the past, plows
have been in the process of pushing mounds back only to discover that some
contained children. Please watch what your children are doing and
say “NO” to them for their own safety.
PARKING
Parking on the roadway when there is 1” or more of snowfall is a
ticketable offense. This prohibition is in effect 24 hours a
day. If vehicles are in the way, plowing is less efficient and
effective and in some cases impossible.
DRIVEWAYS
When cleaning your driveway, pile snow evenly along the right side
as you face the road. This will reduce the amount of snow that passing
plows will deposit back on the cleared surface and assure you a better view of
traffic in both directions when pulling out onto the road. DO NOT PUSH,
SHOVEL OR BLOW SNOW OUT ONTO THE ROADWAY.
SEWERS &
GREASE
GREASE should not be disposed of into the sewer
system. Excessive amounts of grease cause buildup on sewer pumps and
floats and cause lift station failure and added system expense. Excessive
grease disposal into the system can also cause failure of residential lines to
the sewer main as well as in-home drains which may result in unnecessary
plumbing expenses. Paper towels, sanitary napkins, rags and disposable
diapers must not be flushed into the system.
IN THE EXTREME COLD CONDITIONS PLEASE CHECK IN WITH YOUR
NEIGHBORS,
ESPECIALLY THE
ELDERLY.

What you should know about the Traffic Stop
Statistical Study
On January 1, 2004 a new State law went into effect requiring every law enforcement officer in the state to collect certain information whenever the officer stops someone for a traffic violation. The law requires that this information be collected until December 31, 2007.
The information that officers must record includes:
*The
driver’s name, gender and address
*The Officers Subjective
Determination of the driver’s race selected from the following categories –
African American, Asian/Pacific Islander, Caucasian, Hispanic or Native
American/Alaskan Native (the officer will not ask the race of the driver)
*The traffic violation that led to the stop
*The make and year
of the car
*The date, time and location of the stop
*Whether a search was conducted and if so whether the search was by
consent
*The officer’s name and star number
The law requires that all police departments provide the information collected to the State every year for analysis to determine whether racial profiling exists. For all other purposes, the driver’s and officer’s identification information is confidential. An annual report on this study will be issued by the Governor. The Lakemoor Police Department does not tolerate racial profiling or other bias-based policing and has a written policy against racial profiling. All Lakemoor Police officers are trained not to engage in any form of bias-based policing. The collection of this information may take some additional time on the part of officers. If you are stopped for a traffic violation, please be patient while the officer completes the additional paperwork required by this new law.
What you should do if stopped by a Police Officer
Law enforcement is a difficult and dangerous profession. Sometimes
the safety procedures that officers use may appear unnecessary, but they are
designed to ensure both your safety and the officers safety. You should
know what your rights and responsibilities are if you are stopped for a traffic
or other violation.
Your Rights
**You
should be treated with dignity and respect. The officer or officers
involved should be courteous and should tell you why you have been stopped
**Under no circumstances may Lakemoor Police officers ask you to a pay
fine for a traffic violation at the time it occurs. Asking for such
payment, as well as making one, is illegal. This should not be confused
with being asked to post an appearance bond to assure your appearance in
court.
**You have the right to have an inappropriate situation
addressed. If you believe that an officer has acted inappropriately during
a traffic stop or other encounter you should report that conduct as soon as
possible to the Office of the Lakemoor Police Department Chief of Police
(815-385- 4111). Try to have as much information as possible about the
officer, including his or her name, star number and any numbers on the squad car
as well as the exact date, time and location of the occurrence.
Slow down. Pull Over as soon as you can safely do so. If
the police vehicle is unmarked and you doubt that the driver is an officer,
drive below the speed limit to a well-lit, populated place and pull over or go
the police station or attract the attention of a uniformed officer.
Stay in the driver’s seat with both hands clearly in sight on the
steering wheel. Do not exit your car unless asked to do so.
Comply with the officer’s request to see your drivers license,
registration and proof of insurance. If they are in the glove compartment
or under the seat let the officer know and then follow his or her directions
before retrieving them.
Avoid speaking in a confrontational manner or
walking away from police officers, even if you think they are wrong.
Cooperate during the incident.

Trash a/k/a garbage is picked up every Friday. If a holiday
occurs during the week then pickup is on Saturday. The Jensen cart
must be at the curb by 6 AM on pickup day. The Village has contracted
limited service so that trash collection is affordable for all. If
you have more garbage then can fit in the cart you have two
options:
* Buy garbage stickers at the Village Hall if you have
additional
trash on an occasional basis.
* Obtain another cart from Jensen if you consistently have more
than one cart of trash. Jensen will invoice you
separately and
monthly for this additional
service.
Trash carts are not to be used for construction debris and are the property of Jensen Disposal. It is unlawful to take carts that were not specifically designated for your residence by The Village Public Works Department or Jensen Disposal 847-566-0189.
Reminder: On garbage days when plowing is necessary, PLEASE place
containers well back from the roadway so a passing plow won’t strike them. Move
containers back to their stored position as soon as possible. This helps
everyone involved work more efficiently! - Thank you
