Several streets will be resurfaced this summeras well as portions of the North Avenuefrontage roads and the residential alleys in

the southeast section of the City. Sidewalkreplacement as well as curb repair where necessarywill be done as part of this project. The work isslated to start in July and should be completed byfall. This work will cost a little over $1.2 million.The City received 7 bids for this project rangingfrom $1,209,193.51 to $1,555,557.25. Thecontract was awarded to the lowest bidder, PloteConstruction, who has experience in these types ofprojects.

As you can see from the map of the variouslocations wherethe work will bedone, $1.2 milliondoes not go veryfar in terms of theentire street systemin the city ofNorthlake. Thevast majority ofthe streets inNorthlake are inrelatively goodcondition, but inmany cases, thepavement is stillthe originalpavement putdown when curbsand storm sewerswere installed inthe 1980’s. So theage of thepavement variesanywhere from 23to 31 years old,well beyond itsnormal lifeexpectancy.

Adding to thesituation is the factthat some of thesestreets still have 4inch water mainswhich should beupgraded to 8 inchwater mains beforethe street isresurfaced as itdoesn’t make senseto pave the streetand then tear it upto replace thewater main.Replacing this

water main adds significant cost to the overallimprovement.

As we go forward, one of the challenges of theCity Council will be to fund this work withoutplacing an undue burden on our residents. The2012 work is a significant start in meeting thischallenge.

On another note, it’s hard to believe that we arenow in the middle of summer. Please takeadvantage of the City’s sidewalks during pleasantsummer evenings and get out and meet yourneighbors. Walking is great exercise. There’s notmuch on TV, so get out there while we still havegood weather. Hopefully I’ll see you out theresoon.

Each year over 50 children die because they were left alone in acar during warm weather.

• A child should never be left in a car unattended, even with thewindows slightly open. The temperature can

reach 140 degrees very quickly.• Teach children to never play in any vehicle or in

the trunk of a vehicle.• Call 911 immediately if you see an unattendedchild in a car. Fire Department professionals are

trained to determine if a child is in trouble.

Water safety RemindersChildren drown quickly and quietly. Many of these accidents can

be avoided by not being distracted by phones, reading, andconversations around the pool.

• Never leave a child unattended at a pool, not even for asecond. Have a cellphone nearby to call 911 in an emergency.• If you own a pool, make sure it has a four-sided fence and aself-closing, self-latching gate. Remove the ladder if the pool is

not in use.• Hot tubs should be covered and locked when not in use.• Drowning victims need CPR right away, even before the

paramedics can get there – Learn CPR.• Enroll your child in swim lessons. Children from families that do

not swim are more likely to drown.• If you go boating, have your child wear a life jacket every time.Nine out of ten people that drown during a boating accident arenot wearing a life jacket. Alcohol is involved in one of every five

boating fatalities.

Sharing the RoadMotorists, cyclists and pedestrians all share the

roads. They need to follow the same set of rulesand have the same rights. Following are some tipsto help everyone get where they’re going safely.

Tips for cyclistsThe same laws apply to bicycles as well as to

cars. You need to obey all traffic control signalsand use hand signals to indicate stops and turns.

- Ride as close to the right as practical and inthe same direction as traffic. Signal beforemoving into another lane to make a turn.

- Check for traffic before entering a street orintersection. Bike defensively.

- Always wear properly fitted helmets, even onshort trips. Make yourself as visible as possibleby wearing brightly colored or reflectiveclothing.

- In low light conditions, use a white front lightand a red rear light, flashing if possible.

Tips for motorists- Drive with caution and reduce speed when

encountering cyclists, especially children whomay be unpredictable and unfamiliar withtraffic laws

- Never tailgate a cyclist. Anticipate hazards andallow cyclists extra space for safety.

- Remember that bicycles are consideredvehicles. Cyclists should be given theappropriate right of way. Allow extra time fora cyclist to cross an intersection.

- When passing a cyclist, leave three feetbetween your vehicle and the bicycle. Checkover your shoulder before moving back intothe lane.

- Scan for cyclists in traffic. Never blast yourhorn at a cyclist.

- Watch for cyclist when opening car doors.- Watch for children biking on sidewalks in

residential area.

Tips for pedestriansIt is both dangerous and illegal to walk in the

street when sidewalks are available. If there are nosidewalks, pedestrians must walk to the left of thepaved portion of the street or on the left shoulderfacing oncoming traffic. When a pedestrian iswalking on the street, the pedestrian must step offto the left when a car is approaching.

- Avoid crossing the street in the middle of theblock, especially near parked cars. Atintersections, stay on the curb until it is safe tocross. Never assume a car will stop, even at ared light or stop sign.

- When a pedestrian signal at a crosswalkindicates “walk”, check to make sure vehiclesare not turning or running the red light, thencross with caution. If the “Don’t Walk” signalbegins to flash when you are in the middle ofstreet, keep walking.

- Remember, the potential for serious injury isgreat in accidents involving pedestrians andmotor vehicles.

SOURCE OF WATERLake Michigan is the sole source of water used to provide drinking water for Chicago and 123 suburban communities. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has found that the quality of Lake Michigan water hasimproved dramatically over the past 21 years. Lake Michigan, by volume, is the second largest Great Lake and the only one located totally within the United States. All 63 miles of shoreline within Illinois are now considered tobe in good condition. It serves as a source of drinking water, as a place for swimming and fishing, and as a scenic wonderland.

What you should know!The sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs and wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it can dissolve naturallyoccurring minerals and radioactive materials, and pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or human activity.

SOURCE WATER ASSESSMENTA Source Water Assessment summary is included below for your convenience

The Illinois EPA considers all surface water sources of community water supply to be susceptible to potential pollution problems. The very nature of surface water allows contaminants to migrate into the intake with noprotection only dilution. This is the reason for mandatory treatment for all surface water supplies in Illinois. Chicago’s offshore intakes are located at a distance that shoreline impacts are not usually considered a factor onwater quality. At certain times of the year, however, the potential for contamination exists due to wet-weather flows and river reversals. In addition, the placement of the crib structures may serve to attract waterfowl, gulls andterns that frequent the Great Lakes area, thereby concentrating fecal deposits at the intake and thus compromising the source water quality. Conversely, the shore intakes are highly susceptible to storm water runoff, marinasand shoreline point sources due to the influx of groundwater to the lake. Throughout history there have been extraordinary steps taken to assure a safe source of drinking water in the Chicagoland area. From the building of theoffshore cribs and the introduction of interceptor sewers to the lock-and-dam system of Chicago’s waterways and the city’s Lakefront Zoning Ordinance. The city now looks to the recently created Department of the WaterManagement, Department of Environment and the MWRDGC to assure the safety of the city’s water supply. Also, water supply officials from Chicago are active members of the West Shore Water Producers Association.Coordination of water quality situations (i.e., spills, tanker leaks, exotic species, etc) and general lake conditions are frequently discussed during the association’s quarterly meetings. Also, Lake Michigan has a variety oforganizations and associations that are currently working to either maintain or improve water quality. Finally, one of the best ways to ensure a safe source of drinking water is to develop a program designed to protect thesource water against potential contamination on the local level. Since the predominant land use within Illinois’ boundary of Lake Michigan watershed is urban, a majority of the watershed protection activities in this documentare aimed at this purpose. Citizens should be aware that everyday activities in an urban setting might have a negative impact on their source water. Efforts should be made to improve awareness of storm water drains and theirdirect link to the lake within the identified local source water area. A proven best management practice (BMP) for this purpose has been the identification and stenciling of storm water drains within a watershed. Stenciling alongwith an educational component is necessary to keep the lake a safe and reliable source of drinking water.

Contaminants that may be present in source water include:

Substances that may be present in source water include: biological contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria; inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals; pesticides and herbicides; organic chemicals from industrial orpetroleum use; and natural or man-made radioactive materials.

• Microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, which may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations and wildlife;

• Inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals, which may be naturally occurring or result from urban storm water runoff, industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining or farming;

• Pesticides and herbicides, which may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture, urban storm water runoff and residential uses;

• Organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which are by-products of industrial processes and petroleum production, and may also come from gas stations, urban storm water runoffand septic systems; and

• Radioactive contaminants, which may be naturally occurring or be the result of oil and gas production and mining activities.

Educational Information:

- Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants, but their presence does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk. More informationabout contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the EPA’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline (1-800-426-4791).

- In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, USEPA prescribes regulations that limit the amount of certain substances in water provided by public systems. U.S. Food and Drug Administration regulations establish limitsfor contaminants in bottled water, which must provide the same protection of public health.

- Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immuno-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergoneorgan transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infection. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health careproviders. EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and other microbial contaminants are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (1-800-426-4791).

- Lead – Infants and young children are more vulnerable to lead in drinking water than the general population. It is possible that lead levels at your home may be higher than they are at other home in the community as a resultof materials used in your home’s plumbing. If you are concerned about elevated lead levels in your home’s water, you may wish to have your water tested and flush your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using tap water.Additional information is available from the Safe Drink Water Hotline (800) 426-4791.

- If there were a problem with water contaminant, who would notify me?If contaminant levels were to exceed the M.C.L for safe use, the City of Northlake Department of Public Works will notify you the newspaper, TV and radio announcements. Also, the City’s Emergency Services/Public Safetywould patrol the streets of City of Northlake instructing you of what appropriate action you cans use to protect your family’s health. These actions might include boiling the water for a particular period of time.

CITY OF NORTHLAKE 2011 Regulated Contaminants Detected

The City of Northlake parent supply is the City of Chicago, Melrose Park via Union Pacific Railroad

The City of Chicago Water Department provides the water treatment necessary to safeguard the water delivered to Melrose Park via Union Pacific Railroad then to the City of Northlake. Water is taken from Lake Michigan atseveral water inlets located about 3 miles from shore. Chlorine is then injected into the water for disinfection. The water then flows through series of settling and filtration basins where small amounts of polymer andsediments chemicals are added. After this process the water is filtered to remove the sediment. At this point the water is filtered through layers of fine charcoal and silicate sand. Small particles are removed and pure cleanwater appears and is ready to be re-chlorinated as a safeguard and precaution against any microorganisms.

the effectiveness of our filtration system and disinfectants.

Unregulated Contaminants

A maximum contaminant level (MCL) for this contaminant has not been established by either state or federal

regulations, nor has mandatory health effects language. The purpose for monitoring this contaminant is to assist

USEPA in determining the occurrence of unregulated contaminants in drinking water, and whether future regulation

is warranted.

Fluoride

Fluoride is added to the water supply to help promote strong teeth. The Illinois Department of Public Health

recommends and optimal fluoride range of 0.9 mg/l to 1.2 mg/l

Sodium

There is not a state or federal MCL for sodium. Monitoring is required to provide information to consumers and

health officials that are concerned about sodium intake due to dietary precautions. If you are on a sodium-restricted

Thefts and BurglariesIncrease in WarmWeather

People spend more time outdoors during thesummer months, leaving doors, windows andgarages open and/or unlocked. As a result, thepolice always see an increase in thefts andburglaries to homes and automobiles. Unlockeddoors, garages and vehicles are like an openinvitation to the criminal to help themselves toyour valuables. Almost half of burglaries to homesand vehicles involved unlocked doors and/orvaluables left in plain sight. Please lock yourhomes, garages and vehicles day and night,whether you are at home or away.

Easy on the Mulch!Most people believe that more is better, but this

is absolutely NOT true in the case of mulcharound the base of a tree! “Volcano mulching” asit is called, is detrimental to a tree’s health. Mulchmounded against the base of a tree leads to trunkrot and invites rodent infestation, insect damageand disease. A 2-4 inch layer of mulch is all that isneeded and it should be spread around the base ofthe tree. Mulch should extend out as far as thetree’s drip line (outer edges of the tree’s branches).

Wrapping a tree is not recommended unless youhave damage to the trunk. Allow your tree tobreathe and wrap only to avoid trunk damage asdone by a deer, etc.

Unless you have a broken branch, pruning treesis not recommended until after the first full year ofplanting. Major pruning can be done this winterwhen trees are fully dormant.

Remember to water your tree during dry spellsequivalent to approximately five gallons of waterper week. Mostly, just enjoy the beauty of yournew tree!

UniStaff, Inc.UniStaff, Inc., founded in 1987 by

Fiorella Auriemma and Mary LouBerry, has been a fixture in theNorthlake business community forthe past twenty five years. One of thelargest privately owned staffing firmsin the Chicagoland area, UniStaff hasgrown from its original office to sixlocations in Illinois and one inIndiana.

UniStaff selected Northlake for itscorporate headquarters because of itscentralized location, easy access toboth clients and employees, and pro-business environment. After twentyyears these characteristics still remainattractive, and UniStaff has lookedfor similar traits as they expandedinto Aurora, Bolingbrook,Mundelein, and Roselle in Illinoisand Indianapolis, Indiana. Theowners have also established aprofessional staffing firm, UniStaffPro, which is located in Northlakeand specializes inadministrative/clerical,accounting/financial, and skilledmanufacturing staffing.

Fiorella and Mary Lou believe thatrecruiting locally has been a keyfactor in developing UniStaff’sreputation for quality staffing. Theircommitment to excellence within theindustry is coupled with a desire todevelop continuing relationships witheach client company. Clients rely onUniStaff to provide temporary laborfor both long and short term staffingpositions including seasonal demands,large projects, unexpected absences,on-site management, and payrollservicing.

Quick response time is imperativein these cases, and is accomplished byan outstanding full time staff.Averaging nearly 15 years withUniStaff, each full time employeeplays a vital role within theorganization, and the level of successachieved by the company would beimpossible without them.
