Car Reported Stolen from Hesketh Street Overnight Key fob was used to steal the car
This morning (Friday, May 21, 2021) around 7:00 a.m., a resident of the unit block of Hesketh Street reported that their black 2018 Honda CRV, which had been parked on the street, had been stolen overnight. They last saw the car at about 11:00 p.m. on Thursday evening.
The resident first noticed that someone had been inside a second vehicle that they own. The residents had left this second vehicle unlocked. The only thing that appears to have been stolen from this second vehicle was the key fob that belongs to the stolen Honda. The thieves apparently rooted around inside the second vehicle and stumbled upon the Honda key fob. With that key fob in hand, the thieves drove off in the Honda.
Residents are urged to secure all of their key fobs inside their homes and to lock their cars every time they park.

Reminder to Work with Landscapers to Operate Blowers Legally;
Ban on Gas-Powered Leaf Blowers goes into effect January 1, 2022
A ban on the use of gas-powered leaf blowers will go into effect on January 1, 2022. The Village Board approved the ban in December 2019 citing the adverse environmental, human health (principally for the equipment operator) and quality of life impacts resulting from the use of gas-powered leaf blowers. These impacts were highlighted in a report from the Village Environment & Energy Committee, dated August 15, 2019, which can be viewed on the committee’s page on the Village website.
Village staff have created and begun circulating a handout to communicate the effective date of this ban to yard maintenance contractors who work in the Village. If you would like your landscaper/yard maintenance contractor to receive this handout, please email your contractor’s information to
ccvpermitting@montgomerycountymd.gov.
In the interim, residents and landscapers are reminded that all blowers operated within the Village remain subject to Montgomery County’s Noise Ordinance. The county’s Noise Ordinance states that “a person must not...use a leaf blower at any time that has an average sound level exceeding 70 dBA at a distance of 50 feet.” Additionally, the simultaneous use of multiple leaf blowers that are compliant with the 70 bDA limit can create noise of a sufficient level to qualify as a violation and/or noise disturbance.
If a blower seems loud, it may be in violation. Residents are encouraged to report blowers that are suspected to be in violation to the Village Communications Center to allow staff to follow-up with the contractor and property owner. First time confirmed violators will receive a warning and guidance for operating legally.
Residents are responsible for discussing these restrictions with your yard maintenance crews before they begin working this spring. To view the Montgomery County Noise Ordinance and the provisions pertaining to leaf blowers (Section 31B-9), visit:

Income Tax Return Reminder (MD Form 502)
Revenues received through our residents’ paid income taxes remain the most significant source of Village revenues. We need our residents’ help to ensure that all income tax revenue due to the Village actually gets here. This money goes directly to services benefiting Village residents.
Village residents DO NOT pay any additional income taxes to live in Chevy Chase Village. By law, as a municipality, the Village receives a portion of the tax you pay to Montgomery County. It is very important, however, that the State of Maryland knows to return this revenue to the Village. Consequently, please take special care to mark your tax return as shown below (if filing electronically, there is a character limit, therefore, you may have to use the abbreviation “Ch Ch Village”).
Please be aware that MD Form 502 features a separate political subdivision section located under your mailing address. When you complete your Maryland income tax return, remember to put Chevy Chase Village under “Maryland Political Subdivision” and include 1613 the “4 digit Political Subdivision Code” to ensure the Village receives our share of the state income tax (see below).

Little Lending Library Needs Children’s Books
We are so pleased to have the Little Lending Library at the Village Hall. The concept behind this library is a book-sharing honor system in which neighbors take and leave books of interest for one another.
Unfortunately, the large supply of children’s books that once graced our library has been depleted. If you have taken children’s book from the library, we remind you to return them once your little readers have finished enjoying them, or leave others in their place. We want all children in the community to be able to walk or bike up to the Hall to check out a new book to enjoy, but our lending library will only work if we all agree to take AND leave a book for the next family to enjoy.
We are always looking for donations, so please feel free to donate a book or two today!
