Cicero Town President Larry Dominick Declares Cicero Disaster Area in Wake of Storms, Flooding
7/25/2010 4:00:00 PM Town President Larry Dominick has declared areas of Cicero Disaster Areas as a result of intense flooding caused by last night's and this morning's heavy storms. Like many suburban communities, homes and properties have experienced serious flooding, the second time in four weeks as a result of heavy rain storms.
This time, most of the damage has been caused by flooding and we have not experienced the same level of tree damage that we experienced June 23.
Cicero officials are meeting with state officials to identify funds that might be available to assist homeowners and to identify any other forms of assistance available to residents.
The Town of Cicero has posted "Flood Damage" forms online asking every resident who experienced flood damage to document that damage and return the forms to Town Hall so that they can be collectively presented to officials in Cook County and the State of Illinois to support our request for grant funding and low-interest loans to flood victims.
Several Town officials also experienced flooding. While some residents are concerned the problem is the sewer and water lines, Cicero's problems reflect problems that have swept through the West Suburbs and the Chicagoland area during this storm damage.
Resident can obtain copies of the form below. Residents can return the forms to Town Hall at the Reception Desk (4949 W. Cermak Road). Make sure the forms are completed in their entirety:

Dominick, Cicero to Rally for New Drunk Driving Breathalizer Law
7/23/2010 2:00:00 PM The Town of Cicero and President Larry Dominick will be participating in and supporting a drive to adopt a new law that would require every motorist/driver involved in an accident that includes a fatality to be required to take a breathalizer test to determine blood-alcohol level regardless of whether the driver appears or does not appear to be intoxicated.
The new law would prevent instances of political clout where individuals who may be intoxicated are allowed to delay or not take breathalizer tests.
