IMPORTANT WATER LETTER The BHV Board of Trustees is sending an important letter about the community water system to every resident by US Postal Service mail. Please watch your mailboxes and take the time to read this vital communication.
BHV FALL PICNIC Attached to this Bulletin is the invitation for the Fall Picnic being held on Sunday, September 15, 2019 at 4:00 PM. There will be food and fun for all ages, so plan to join your neighbors on the Village Green. Please note the RSVP information on the invitation.
TAX BILLING NOTICE BHV residents received two tax billings in the mail, due to a correction that was made. Please ignore the first notice and pay the lower amount stated in the second notice. A change in the Headley legislation this year lowered the allowable millage rate from 12.0000 to 11.9905.
TRASH COLLECTION CHANGE Due to the Labor Day holiday, trash will be collected on Tuesday, September 3, 2019 rather than Monday September 2. Household hazardous waste items set next to the trash will also be picked up (only on the first trash collection day of each month, April through November).
PLANNING COMMISSION The Barton Hills Village Planning Commission meeting scheduled for September 10, 2019 has been cancelled due to lack of agenda items.
COMING SOON School buses will join the walkers, joggers, bicyclists, kids, slow drivers, pet walkers, lawn service vehicles, people getting their mail, low hanging branches, hidden driveways, speed tables and, of course, deer –all things that may be a surprise coming around that curve or over that rise. Please observe speed limits and be ready for sudden stops on BHV’s beautiful, winding roads.
