At the Village of Round Lake Beach council meeting on May 19 a resident addressed the board during public comment to thank the village for supporting natural‑area restoration behind the Jewel shopping center.
The speaker—identifying experience on the park district board and the Round Lake Management Commission—thanked the village, naming Director Fritz and Director Rivera for supporting a prescribed burn to remove accumulated biomass, followed by native seeding carried out by Integrated Lakes Management.

Mayor Scott R. Nichols and trustees responded with thanks for the speaker—s work and the park district—s cooperation. The transcript shows no follow‑up motion or directive from the council; the remarks were entered as public comment.
