Curfew:
  If you are younger than 17 years of age, you are not allowed in public areas of the village after 11:00 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and after midnight on Friday and Saturday unless you are accompanied by an adult. Curfew ends at 6:00 a.m. each day.

If you are younger than 18 years of age and are enrolled in school, you are not allowed in public areas while school is in session unless you are traveling to and from school by the most direct route, engaged in approved school activities, or engaged in personal business that is approved by school authorities with authorization from a parent or legal guardian.
   
   
Bicycle Helmets:
  All children under the age of 16 are required to wear a bicycle helmet while riding their bicycles on Village streets.
   
   
Parental Responsibility:
  A reminder to parents and guardians that you may be legally responsible for code violations by minors whom you have custody of and code violations by minors who are guests of your children in your home, even without knowledge of the violation occurring. For example, you may be responsible for a curfew violation, consumption of alcohol by a minor within your home, or possession/use of cannibas by a minor. Contact the Police Department for additional information.
   
   
Business in Residential Areas:
  You can legally prohibit solicitors and peddlers from disturbing you at your residence by obtaining a free "Solicitors and Peddlers Forbidden" sticker at the Police Department or the Village Hall. If you choose not to use the sticker, be aware that solicitors are required to register with the police department and they may only solicit between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. If you have a problem with a solicitor, please contact the Police Department.
   
   
Home Watch Protection:
  If you are planning to go out of town for an extended period of time, you can have your home placed on a "Vacation Home Watch List" by contacting the Police Department before you leave.
   
   
Call Public Works Before You Dig:
  It is very important to call the Public Works department about the placement of Village utility (water and sewer) lines underneath your lawn. Call J.U.L.I.E. 1-800-892-0123 for all other utilities.
   
   
Free Wood Chips and Compost:
  Four times a year, the Public Works crews travel to every street within the Village for the purpose of chipping branches left in the parkways by residents. Chipping is done quarterly in the months of April, July, October and January (for Christmas trees only). These chipping materials are available to the public for free and can be picked up at the Public Works facility. Chipping materials cannot be delivered to homes or organizations.
   
   
Deceased Animals:
  If you notice a deceased animal within the public streets, parkways, or other public areas of the Village, please contact the Public Works Department for removal. Public Works employees can not remove deceased animals from private property.
   
   
Bees:
  For bee or hornet nests on public property, contact the Public Works Department who will arrange for removal. If you wish to remove the nests from your private property, you will need to contact a private pest control company.
