Riverwoods approves HR Green agreement to continue village ecologist services
Summary
The board approved a letter agreement allowing Steve Zimmerman to serve as the village ecologist through HR Green; the agreement defines services and an hourly rate and was approved pending legal review by roll call.
Riverwoods trustees approved an agreement to retain Steve Zimmerman as the village ecologist through HR Green, mirroring the arrangement the village has used previously.
The village attorney explained that Zimmerman has been the village ecologist since 2015 and recently joined HR Green; the letter agreement specifies the ecological services and Zimmerman's hourly rate. Zimmerman addressed trustees and said he has worked with local residents and staff for years and will operate out of HR Green's McHenry office.
A trustee moved to approve the agreement pending legal review; the board conducted a roll‑call vote and recorded 'Aye' responses from multiple trustees and the motion carried.
Trustees asked whether the larger firm has the resources the village may need; Zimmerman said HR Green has regional offices and the local McHenry team will support the village while preserving a local point of contact.
