6 | July 19, 2018 | The lake forest leader NEWS LakeForestLeader.com Piper Elsa The Fidler family, Lake Forest Piper Elsa is an almost 2 year old, 65 pound, fun loving bernedoodle or as we like to call her our “discount doodle”! The sweet girl just forgot to doodle, however we didn’t mind and couldn’t pass up on her after we saw her freckly snout! She loves playing with our kids Blake, 7, and Kylie, 5, going to the dog park, walks, tummy rubs and having her best dog friend Italia over for doggy play dates. HELP! The Lake Forest Leader is in search of more pets. To see your pet featured as Pet of the Week, send a photo and information to alyssa@lakeforestleader.com or 60 Revere Drive, Suite 888, Northbrook, IL 60062.

These are just a few examples of our progress. Infrastructure & Environmental Enhancement • Our new biennial budget includes just under $5 million dollars for capital improvements, or about 30 percent of the annual budget. • Our consultant is preparing to conduct a Village-wide drainage modeling study to improve stormwater planning. • Our upcoming Moffett Road project includes significant ravine improvement and protection. Municipal Services • Our leadership is working to establish a joint fire service with the Rockland Fire Protection District (Knollwood Fire Department). Environmental Preservation • Our residential recycling rate (34 percent of total volume) ranks second among 44 municipalities participating in Lake County’s solid waste agency. • Every household was sent a flyer explaining options for residential solid waste, recycling, yard waste and Illinois’ first year-round food scrap composting program. • We are approaching the end of a study of commercial recycling that may provide access to new tools that would further expand Lake Bluff’s recycling culture. Engagement and Communication • We conducted a communications survey of our residents in 2017. • To reach residents more effectively, we redesigned our weekly e-newsletter and started three new Facebook pages for the Village, the Fire Department, and the Police Department. Placemaking & Aesthetics • Community stakeholders are currently engaged in a beautification study of key Village corridors and gateways, including the Route 176 corridor. • Our consultant is preparing a final phase that will conclude a historic architecture surveying effort underway since 1997. From the Village is compiled by Editor Alyssa Groh.
