Electronic feedback can be sent to: info@crestwoodadviser.com For advertising: ads@crestwoodadviser.com Dear Neighbors, This has been anything but a normal year, as you well know, and as we near November and Election Day, there is an unusual amount of uncertainty and anxiety in the air. Here in Crestwood, we are encouraging everyone to continue adhering to COVID-19 protocols and to take an active part in the election process. To that end, we are once again offering early voting at the Biela Center. (See inside for full schedule.) We hope that everyone will make the effort to vote, and to do so safely and with confidence. We do ask that everyone visiting polling places observe the usual precautions of late, including wearing a mask and ensuring the recommended six-foot social distance between other people. We are exceedingly grateful for those folks who have volunteered to work at the polls, and we want to ensure that we minimize any risk of their being exposed to the virus. On this year’s General Election ballot, the residents of the Village of Crestwood will have the opportunity to answer a question on Home Rule through a binding referendum. The Mayor and Village Board chose to give its residents the opportunity to consider becoming Home Rule as a way to obtain additional revenue streams in order to maintain current level of Police, Fire and Public Works service, along with maintaining the Village’s roads and water system. Currently, the Village is a non-home rule municipality under the Illinois Constitution, meaning that the Village can only authorize those powers which are expressly granted by the State of Illinois. Pursuant to the Illinois Constitution, home rule municipalities may exercise any power and function pertaining to its government and affairs. Home rule status can only be achieved through voter approval or the certification of a population above 25,000 residents. The Village will be forming a committee that will oversee any property tax increases being proposed. The Mayor and Village Board pledge to utilize home rule powers only to the extent deemed necessary with a view to the long-term impact upon the community. Utilizing home rule authority, the board would have flexibility to consider additional revenue streams, ones that shift the burden to non-residents. We will have more information available on our website and social media coming soon. In the meantime, I encourage you to read the articles we have put in in this issue of the Crestwood Adviser in order that you’ll be adequately informed in time for the General Election. One more item of general interest: Trick-ortreating in the Village will take place on Saturday, Oct. 31st, from 2:00-7:00pm. This year, we have a specific set of guidelines that we would appreciate everyone taking the time to read and follow. Look for them inside this edition of the Adviser. Let’s continue to be safe out there and look out for our little ones when we’re out on our roads, as well. Thank you for your support! Sincerely, Mayor Lou Presta Village of Crestwood Parking Crestwood Village ordinance prohibits parking on any village street between 2:00am and 6:00am. The reason for this ordinance is so police will be alerted to abandoned vehicles or suspicious vehicles that require investigation. This ordinance also ensures that all streets throughout the Village will be open to fire and rescue equipment in the event of an overnight emergency. This is especially necessary in areas where narrow streets can block large fire trucks. We will continue to enforce this ordinance. Thank you for your cooperation with this ordinance. The initial fine for this violation is $75.00. This is a Village-wide ordinance. PLEASE BE SURE THAT YOUR LATE NIGHT AND OVERNIGHT GUESTS ARE MADE AWARE OF THIS AS WELL!

In a recent statement, Pappas indicated that through the automatic refund program, approximately $12.8 million will be refunded to about 8,500 homeowners, noting the effectiveness of the initiative. “Since we launched the automatic refund program in July 2018,” the treasurer said, “110,000 property owners have received about $56.4 million in refunds without an application." Last month, Pappas announced that a record $51.2 million in duplicate property tax payments would be refunded for second-installment payments that were due Aug. 3rd, as many homeowners rushed to refinance while interest rates were at historic lows. “For the entire year, STOPS has prevented 17,771 tax overpayments totaling $87.2 million,” Pappas said of the Stop Taxpayer Over-Payment System put in place in 2009. “Both figures are the highest totals since the program began.” To see if you’ve overpaid your property taxes at any time in the last 20 years, and to apply for a refund if necessary, Pappas encourages you to visit cookcountytreasurer.com.
