Dear Residents of Sandwich:
On behalf of the City of Sandwich,
I want to welcome you to our “fair” city. Whether you come
from a large city or a small town, you will find that Sandwich offers
a high quality of life which is enhanced by its schools, churches and
service organizations.
The city is presently experiencing
significant growth. As you drive around, you will notice evolving commercial
and residential development. We are pleased that Sandwich is continuing
to grow and develop, while yet retaining its historical heritage. The
Sandwich city offices are located in an 1879 City Hall/Opera House. This
building was completely restored in 1979 and is on the National Register
of Historic Buildings.
What really makes our community
great are the people! I hope you will become familiar with the city and
will join us for various community celebrations held throughout the year.
Citizen participation is strong in Sandwich and we encourage you to become
involved!
Following are some frequently
asked questions our office has received from other new residents. Our
city’s government is here to serve. If you have questions or concerns
regarding services provided by the city, please feel free to give us a
call at 815-786-9321. The City Clerk’s office is open Monday-Friday
from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and Saturdays from 8:00 to 11:30 a.m.
Welcome to Sandwich!
Yours truly,
Denise Ii
City Clerk
Q--Who do I contact
for services and utilities?

Telephone: Verizon - 800-483-4000
Q--Does the city
provide garbage collection?
A--Residents need to arrange their own garbage service;
the city does not provide garbage collection. There are currently four
licensed waste handlers serving our community (see above). Residents should
contact the hauler of their choice for further information.
Q--When is my water/sewer
bill due?
A--Water and sewer is billed quarterly (every three months).
The quarter in which you receive your bill depends on your address. You
will receive a postcard indicating the amount and date due, as well as
the number of gallons of water consumed. Feel free to contact our Utility
Billing Clerk (786-9321) to determine when your water/sewer bills are
due.
Quarterly bills are
mailed the first day of the month and are due by the last day of the month.
We will assess a late penalty of $10 on any account where payment in full
is not received by the due date. Please note that the city cannot accept
responsibility for payments received after the due date which are due
to circumstances beyond our control.
Q--Can my water service
be turned off for non-payment?
A--Pursuant to city ordinance Sec. 78-74, accounts not
paid in full within 45 days after the quarterly billing shall have services
disconnected. Service shall not be reinstated until such time that the
bill is paid in full, together with a payment made of $60 for discontinued
(shut-off) and reinstating (turn-on) of the service.
Q--What can I do
if I am having difficulty paying my water/sewer bill?
A--The City of Sandwich understands that consumers may,
from time to time, experience financial hardships that make it difficult
to pay their water/sewer bill on time. In a spirit of cooperation, we
offer customized payment agreements that enable residents to gradually
pay delinquent charges while maintaining water service. Please contact
the City Clerk’s office (786-9321) prior to your billing due date
to inquire about a customized payment agreement.
Q--Where do I pay
my water/sewer bill?
A--Water and sewer payments may be mailed to the City
Clerk’s office, 144 E. Railroad Street, or you may stop by Monday
through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and Saturdays from 8:00 to 11:30
a.m. The entrance to the clerk’s office faces Pearl Street. After
office hours, payments may be dropped in our secure lock box. We now accept
credit cards for payments being made at the front counter.
Q--Why is my water
bill higher than normal?
A--Water and sewer is billed every three months and based
on consumption. The more water you use, the higher your bill. Please be
aware of your water usage. If you have an unusually high bill, check your
toilets, water softener or humidifier for problems. Perhaps you used water
outside on your lawn, garden or flowers. Once you’ve exhausted all
avenues of problems in your home, feel free to contact our water department
(786-9321) and we will be happy to assist you.
Check all faucets for drips. Replace worn and leaking washers, gaskets,
pipes or defective fixtures. A leak just 1/32 inches in diameter consumes
264 gallons per day or 7920 gallons per month!
Check toilets for leaks--they
are the most common cause of high bills! Do you ever have to jiggle the
toilet handle to stop it from running?
Place a few drops of
food coloring in the toilet tank after it has filled. Do not flush the
toilet for at least 15 minutes (or overnight if possible). If the food
coloring shows up in the bowl without flushing, the toilet has a leak.
Q--How do I go about getting a second water meter?
A--The City of Sandwich offers customers the option of
having a second meter on their outdoor water hookups. This involves one
meter that measures indoor water consumption and one meter that measures
outdoor use. On the second outside meter, water is billed once a year
and there is no sewer billing.
During the summer
months, consumers water lawns, gardens, wash cars, fill pools and use
water for other outdoor activities. With a second meter, since this water
does not enter into the wastewater treatment system, sewer costs are not
applied. The cost for a second meter is $250 plus $25 for the plumbing
inspection. Water meters may be picked up at City Hall and should be installed
by a licensed plumber.
Consumers may want
to research to determine if their costs for purchasing a second meter
will benefit them or not. Current water and sewer rates may be found on
the back of your water bill, or you may phone the City Clerk’s office
at 786-9321 for rates or more information.
Q--I’m just
moving across town. Do I need to make the City Clerk’s office aware
of this?
A--Whether you’re brand new to the city or just
moving across town, please keep in mind that you must notify our office
of any changes to your address. Beginning and final water meter reads
must be completed when there are any changes. Phone 786-9321 to make arrangements
prior to your move.
Q--I’m a new
landlord/apartment manager. Do I need to make the City Clerk’s office
aware of this?
A--Yes--and please be responsible and notify our department
of name and address changes for your tenants as they occur. With the large
number of renters moving in and out of the city, it is your responsibility
to verify that the information we have on record for utility billing is
correct.
Q--I’m a snowbird
and I’ll be away for a few months. Do I need to make the City Clerk’s
office aware of this?
A--Persons who are absent from their residence for an
extended period of time can notify us of this fact. That way, when a “red
flag” alerts us that your water consumption has decreased dramatically,
we will be aware that it is not due to a faulty meter read.
Snowbirds can also
notify the Police Department (786-7261) and allow them to check your home
while you are gone.
Q--Does my group
need a permit to go door-to-door to solicit funds?
A--In order to protect residents from scam artists or
pesky salesmen, the City Council has established an ordinance covering
Canvassers and Solicitors. An application must be made in writing to the
City Clerk and fee of $25 paid for each solicitor or peddler. The application
will be forwarded to the Police Department, whereby the Chief of Police
will approve or disapprove the application based on the information received.
No soliciting is allowed before 8 a.m. or after 8 p.m.
Q--What projects
require a building permit?
A--To ensure compliance with the building code, permits
are required for most construction projects, including room additions,
decks, porches and patios, demolition, excavating, fences, adding a garage,
building a new house, building a shed and swimming pools. Re-roofing requires
a permit only if it involves replacement of the wood roof sheathing (plywood)
or the structure of the roof is being altered.
Businesses should
be aware that permits are needed for installing or moving signs, as well
as canopies or awnings. Anytime the use of the structure is being changed
(such as changing a warehouse to a restaurant) a permit is required.
If you have questions whether or not a permit is required, phone the Building
and Zoning Department at 786-8802. Permit applications may be picked up
at City Hall, 144 E. Railroad Street.
Q--What do I need
to open a business in the city?
A--An application for a license should be made in writing
to the City Clerk if you plan to sell, conduct, or operate any of the
following: scavenger service, bed and breakfast establishment, cigarettes,
juke box, pool table, dancing, amusement device, bowling alley, trailer
court, street vendor or taxi cab. Although the city does not issue business
licenses, restaurant and retail food establishments must follow state
and county codes and contact DeKalb County Health Department (815-758-6673)
to determine what requirements are in effect. All businesses should check
with the city’s zoning department (786-8802) to confirm the type
of establishment proposed is allowed under the city’s zoning and
building ordinance. Provide the Police Department (786-7261) with after
hours phone numbers for your business.
Q--Do I need a permit
to hold a yard or garage sale?
A--Although no permit is required, be courteous of your
neighbors and remember that posting your signs on public property, such
as light posts, telephone poles and other traffic control devices, is
not permitted. Posting your signs on private property without getting
permission from the property owner is illegal. Following your sale, please
remove all signs.
Please help make our community pedestrian friendly.
Make sure your car does not block the sidewalk.
Q--The sidewalk in front of my house is in poor shape.
What can be done?
A--The City Council has established a program by which
property owners can receive assistance in getting deteriorated sidewalks
replaced. It’s popularly called the 50/50 Program because upon approval,
the city will pay for the cost of the concrete and the property owner
is then responsible for the labor portion by either furnishing the labor
or hiring and paying for a contractor to do the work. This comes to roughly
a 50/50 split of the costs.
Residents who notice
sidewalks with defects, in poor repair, blocked in any way, or not handicap
accessible, should report the situation to City Hall. Repair work for
these types of defects may qualify under the city’s Safety Sidewalk
Program.
Q--What is the city’s
“Brush Pick-Up Program”?
A--The Public Works Department has free curbside brush
collection April through October. Brush collection will be offered once
a month, beginning the first Monday of each month, by ward. Residents
in Ward 1 will have brush picked up the first week of each month, residents
in Ward 2 the second week of each month, residents in Ward 3 the third
week of each month and residents in Ward 4 the fourth week of each month.
Branches and limbs ½ inch to 4 inches in diameter and 2 feet to
4 feet in length can be placed at the curb for pick-up. Please note the
following exceptions: Brush that is tangled or unmanageable will not be
collected. Brush which results from contracted services will not be picked
up, as it is the responsibility of the contractor to remove and dispose
of such material. Grass clippings, leaves, shrubs, vines and brush less
than ½ inch in diameter is considered yard waste and will not be
picked up.
Please have all brush
at the curb or shoulder by 7:00 a.m. Monday (or Tuesday if Monday is a
holiday) of the week of collection. There is no need to phone ahead for
the pick-up.
Q--Can
we burn leaves in the city?
A--City ordinance requires that you may only burn limited
amounts of paper, cardboard, dry leaves or other combustible material
in a wire mesh burner as long as the material is dry and does not create
an offensive odor, nuisance or fire hazard due to location or wind. Dry
leaves may also be burned on a driveway, garden area, or other open area.
A responsible adult person must be present and attend the fire at all
times until fully extinguished. The hours of burning are 9:00 a.m. to
6:00 p.m.
It is unlawful to
burn wet cardboard or paper, rags, feathers, wet or green leaves, green
weeds or grass at any time. The burning of any material such as rubber,
tires, leather, tar paper, old batteries or any material which emits an
offensive odor when burned is unlawful. It is unlawful to burn any material
on any of the public streets, pavements, curbing, sidewalks, parkways
or alleys in the city. In past years, the City Council has spent numerous
hours looking at costs related to leaf handling. As the city continues
to grow, we believe, at some future point, additional action regarding
leaf burning will be needed.
Q--What are the city’s
noise regulations? How early can construction crews start working? How
early in the morning can I mow my lawn?
A--The city’s noise ordinance, Section 50-64, states
it is unlawful for any person, firm or corporation within the city to
cause unnecessary or loud noises which annoy or disturb the comfort of
residents before 7:00 a.m. or after 9:00 p.m. on any day of the week.
If you experience a problem, call the Police Department at 786-7261.
Please respect the green areas, detention areas and retention ponds
by not riding 3-wheel and ATV vehicles on them.
Help us keep the sod and grass in these areas in good condition!
Q--Who do I report
a street light problem to?
A--If you notice a street light that is not working,
perhaps it is flickering or completely out, call City Hall at 786-9321
and advise us of the location. (After office hours, please leave a message
on our voice mail.) We will, in turn, notify the electric company. ComEd
has provided “trouble-shooting” forms whereby we can fax the
information directly to them.
Q--Who do I call
in case of a power outage?
A--In case of a power failure, such as during a storm,
call ComEd at 1-800-334-7661 to report the outage.
Q--When does the
city sound its emergency sirens?
A--Several warning sirens are located around the city
to alarm residents of approaching severe weather. Our Sandwich EMA staff,
in conjunction with our Police Department, will only sound the emergency
siren when a situation is determined to be a threat to Sandwich. By sounding
the siren only when the city is in the path of a severe storm or tornado,
we know you will understand its severe meaning and react appropriately
when you hear it. The sound of the siren indicates that you and your family
should seek safety and shelter immediately. For additional information,
please visit the EMA’s website at www.sandwich.il.us/ema.
Please be aware the
emergency sirens are tested the first Tuesday morning each month, weather
permitting.
Q--Who should I contact when I see something out
of the ordinary in my neighborhood?
A--We ask that everyone take a proactive role in the
preservation of our neighborhoods and report any and all activities of
a suspicious nature to the Police Department as soon as possible. The
non-emergency number is 786-7261 and, of course, you can always call 911
in the event of an emergency. The police department is located at 308
E. College Street.
Be aware of public safety vehicles.
Pull to the right for sirens and lights.
Q--Where do I go to pay a parking ticket?
A--Parking tickets can be paid at the City Clerk’s
office, 144 E. Railroad Street.
Q--What is the city’s
policy regarding snow removal?
A--The city asks everyone (commercial and residential)
who plows snow not to push it into the street or city right-of-way. When
you clear your drive, the snow should be kept on your property.
In the event of a
snow fall of 2” or more, in order to allow the snow plows a chance
to remove the snow and do a thorough job, please do not park your vehicles
on a public street. Since U.S. Route 34 is a State route, our City Street
Department is not allowed to plow this highway. The State has their manpower
and equipment to do this.
Maintaining your property and respecting the property of
others is the responsibility of each and every citizen.
Q--Does my pet have to be on a leash?
A--In respect to your neighbors, please control your
animals’ barking and adhere to our law requiring all pets (dogs
and cats) be on a leash whenever the pet is off the owner’s property.
Stray and loose animals will be picked up and taken to the Sandwich Veterinary
Hospital. A redemption fee of $75 will be imposed on the pet owner and
must be paid at the City Clerk’s office before the animal is released
to the owner’s custody.
Q--What can be done
about cleaning up my neighborhood?
A--Each year, especially in the spring, our police department
sends hundreds of letters with reference to mowing grass, junk vehicles,
cars without current licenses, and cleaning up property. We would ask
everyone to look at their own yards and see if there is a way to tidy
them up. This includes cutting tall weeds around fences, wood piles, garages
and other structures.
City ordinance states
weeds and grass cannot exceed ten (10) inches in height. If a resident
receives a letter for not complying with the city’s ordinance, they
have ten (10) days to mow before they are cited with a violation or before
the city mows at the owner’s expense. It’s important to realize
that on the advice of our attorney and due to state statutes, we are required
to give notice before taking further action.
If you feel you have
a neighborhood problem, we urge you to contact your alderman, ask him
to follow up on your request, and then report back to you on how the problem
will be resolved.
Q--Where is City
Hall located?
A--The mailing address for City Hall is 144 E. Railroad

City Clerk and Building/Zoning/Engineering offices are housed at City

officials?

municipal officials. The city has a full-time mayor, who serves a four-year
term, and is responsible for day-to-day operations at City Hall. Mayoral
duties include preparing the annual budget and presenting it to the city
council for approval, promoting the city’s economic development
and meeting with developers, appointing department heads and members to

Q--Does the City

A notary is actually witnessing you sign a document and not verifying
the accuracy of the document being signed. Do not pre-sign your document
before coming into a notary’s office. A notary cannot “certify”
a true copy of your document. That needs to be taken care of at the place
of origin of the document.

License?
A--Copies of birth and death certificates and marriage
