Thank you to the Community Activities Committee, BHV staff and trolley-stop-residents for providing a fun and safe event. A Darth Vader mask and a pair of gloves were left at the village hall after the ride. Please call the Clerk’s office to claim your items.

LOST AND FOUND One woman’s size medium North Face glove was found on Barton North Dr. on October 28th. Please call the office to claim.
WATER BILLS Please be on the lookout for the water bills coming in the mail soon.
NORTH 40 UPDATE The Barton Hills Maintenance Corporation Board of Directors is pleased to announce that the North 40 Natural Area is coming along well, and residents are welcome to visit the site. A circular walking path around the area is mowed, so please stay on the path and respect the privacy of the BHV homes that border the area on Barton North Dr.
Entrance to the area is available on Barton North Dr. just across from Corrie Road. Parking is limited; please do not park in the driveway of the home that shares the driveway. The Natural Area is designed to attract birds, waterfowl, butterflies and other wildlife to a quiet habitat, so please enjoy the beauty of the area without disturbing the inhabitants.
FALL CLEAN UP While it may not feel like fall, those beautiful leaves are falling in abundance. Here’s how to help in the clean up.
The BHV staff will pick up leaves for homeowners who rake their own leaves. Services and individuals who are hired to rake leaves are expected to haul away whatever debris they gather.
Please do not bag leaves for pick up. Put them in piles along the driveway or roadway.
Separate out sticks, rocks and brush that clog up the leaf vacuum. Pile them separately.
The staff will pick up leaves/sticks/rocks/brush as time permits. Pick up will not occur on trash collection days.
Remove leaves from catch basins and roadside drains to keep water off the roadways.
Consider mulching leaves to provide nutrients for the lawn.
Drive cautiously with an eye out for lawn service vehicles and workers on the side of the road.
