OV Neighborhood Clean-Up Day 9/5

Acceptable items: building materials, empty or dried out paint cans, discarded furniture, large & small household appliances, carpet and pads, grills, wood, metal, old toys, bicycles, mattresses & similar items.

Peddlers and Solicitors

Alderman Carl Franco: Back in March when the state of emergency was declared, the city suspended permits for peddlers and solicitors. That is still in effect. You should not see anyone coming to your door selling anything legally.

However, since we are in phase 4 of the DPH Restore Illinois Program, we our legally bound to resume issuing permits soon. After the city council meeting on August 4th permits will resume to be issued with additional COVID-19 restrictions. Our city clerk is in the process of creating those restrictions which will include wearing masks, keeping a safe distance from a doorway, etc..

I understand the reluctance for our residents to engage face-to-face with solicitors during this time. No soliciting signs are available at local hardware stores and will be available to download soon from the city website.

Strict adherence to all the rules governing solicitation is important and we ask that any violation or potential violation be reported to the clerk’s office. The phone number to report violations is 630 256-3070. Once the list of new rules is created, it will be displayed on the city’s website.

Orchard Valley New Menu

Illinois Phase 4

WHAT THIS PHASE LOOKS LIKE

There is a continued decline in the rate of infection in new COVID-19 cases. Hospitals have capacity and can quickly adapt for a surge of new cases in their communities. Additional measures can be carefully lifted allowing for schools and child care programs to reopen with social distancing policies in place. Restaurants can open with limited capacity and following strict public health procedures, including personal protective equipment for employees. Gatherings with 50 people or fewer will be permitted. Testing is widely available, and tracing is commonplace. Read more.

Illinois Phase 4 starts today!
