A SPECIAL GOODBYE FROM KATHY METZLER

It is with great excitement and sadness that I have announced my retirement after 23 years with the Village. Words cannot express how much I will miss working for the Mayor, Trustees, staff, residents, and business owners.  I absolutely loved my job and could not be more grateful as the Village has been my office family for all these years. I am thrilled to say I can leave knowing that you are in great hands with Christina Reiser as your new Clerk. Over those years, I’ve made many friends, had amazing experiences, including some challenging ones, and now have many, many great memories.  
Through the years, I have worked on numerous community celebrations and events such as HainesvilleFest and last summer’s Hainesville’s 175th birthday party. One event, which I am extremely happy to have brought to the Village, is the Food Trucks.  I brought the original idea to the Mayor and the Board and then worked with Trustee Kris Chynoweth to help gather and coordinate the trucks. It brings me such joy to see our residents gather each week bringing the community together.
My husband Bill and I will be moving to Dubuque, Iowa where our daughter Megan, her husband Tyler and our grandson Wyatt live. We have lived in Illinois all our lives and we are so looking forward to a new adventure. 
I will truly miss you all! 
Have a wonderful life!
Thank you!
Kathy

PUBLIC WORKS SUMMER 2023 UPDATE
Our Public Works Team is preparing for their Spring/Summer Projects. We would like to take this time to notify the residents of some of the jobs that are planned. We would also like to
remind the residents not to approach the public works crew directly while working. This can pose a danger to the resident and/or the crew members. Also, please be vigilant and slow your speed if you see the public works team working on the roads. If you have questions, concerns or a new request for service, please direct those through
the proper channels.
PLANNED PROJECTS
  • Concrete - If your address is on the list and the work is to be done near the driveway, you will receive a notice via phone, email or door hanger a week before the planned dates of the job. Use of the driveway will be prohibited and street parking will need to be used for those dates. To request overnight parking, please follow this link https://www.frontlinepss.com/hainesvillepd If inclement weather is expected, there will be another notice given with new dates. For Sidewalk replacement, please click HERE for the addresses assigned to each job. For curb repair, Dave's Concrete will be focusing on structurally damaged curbs. Primary focus will be on the townhome areas of Holiday Lane and W. Big Horn Drive.
  • Storm Sewer Structure Repair - There is a list of structures to be repaired and brought back up to grade.
  • Track Mowing - To the residents whose homes are backed by wetlands with nature growing close to your property line, we will be maintaining or clearing about 10 feet in those areas to keep the wild plants and nature from spreading into residents' yards.
  • Tree Removal and Replacement - There will be many new trees added to the Village. Dave Schultz, our Village Arborist, has been working with Hainesville for over 40 years and has his heart set on the service and beautification of the Village. He has picked each species of tree for each location individually to ensure the best look and variety. If you see him at your door this summer, it will likely be because we need to talk to you about your parkway tree or another tree near your property.
  • Pond Embankments - Along 81 Misty Hill, 44 N. Brittany and 64 N. Brittany will be overhauled and re-secured to lessen the erosion of the banks.
  • Road Resurfacing - Forest Glen, Pineview, Fairlawn, Heritage, and Littleton Trail will be repaved this year along with curb repair if applicable.
A MESSAGE FROM GROOT

We are thrilled to announce that we are now accepting paper cups at our recycling facility! Please note that the cups must be completely empty and all lids should be removed prior to tossing
them into your recycling bin. We understand the importance of responsible recycling practices
and strive to preserve our environment, as well as conserve resources. We hope this new acceptable material addition will make it easier for you to recycle items that may have otherwise
been thrown away and sent to a landfill.
Thank you for your continued support in helping us to keep our planet clean and our communities green!

Sincerely,
Groot Recycling Team
