Beach Bulletin July — August 2020
1
COVID-19 has taken away much of our summertime entertainment. No festivals, lake-
front beach (maybe soon) or many other activities (at least not on the same scale) based
on the Governor’s Executive Orders. We have learned to live by different rules. But they
cannot be “the new normal”. America was founded on freedom of the individual. There is
inherent risk with freedom. Others have the freedom to act and think as they like and
some use this for evil. But they are a small percentage of all the great people!
George Floyd was killed by police officers while he was in their custody. These are but a few bad officers
out of the hundreds of thousands of great officers. Do not judge them all on the actions of a few (you don’t
want to be stereotyped). Law-abiding police and citizens are the “normal” and government must enforce the
laws, or we delve into chaos. You saw that in many big cities, they stood by and watched their cities being
burned and looted. You deserve better. We had several peaceful and emotionally moving protests in Round
Lake Beach. Thank you for making your voices heard without violence that drowns out your message.
High heat and storms are common this time of year. Be prepared at home with items necessary to get
through a power outage. Check the Illinois website for a list at: https://www.ready.gov/publications
I hope you have an opportunity to visit our beautiful parks and lakefront in Round Lake Beach with your
family and friends! Our lakefront park is just east of Cedar Lake Road down Beachview (across from the
Clark gas station). We have shelters for family gatherings, fishing areas, boat launch, beach area and more.
Come check it out! (When the Governor allows it)

Interior Inspection Resume
As we move into Phase 3 and the reopening of the State, the Community Development Department will re-
sume all inspections for both residential and commercial buildings. For our safety and yours, please take note
of the below guidelines.
1. Kindly reschedule if you or a member of your household has
been exposed to COVID-19 or has symptoms. The Village will not
charge a cancellation fee in this circumstance.
2. Only one household member may be present inside the home
during the inspection.
3. A maximum of one contractor may be present inside the home
during the inspection.
4. All present must be 18+ years of age and wear a face covering.
5. Social distancing of 6 feet or greater must be adhered to by all those present.
6. The Village Building Inspector will reschedule if these guidelines are not followed.
7. The Village Building Inspector will wear a mask and may wear gloves.
Business License Renewal
While the annual renewal process was partially postponed due
to COVID-19, we are now in full swing. Let your employees
know to expect an inspector in July or August and to provide
their full cooperation. An inspection checklist is available to
help you prepare to pass the inspection at the first visit. As a
convenience to businesses, the Village and Fire Protection Dis-
tricts are once again coordinating their inspections whenever
possible to minimize the interruptions to your work.
As a reminder, your application and invoice for payment was sent in May, and can be completed entirely
online in 5–10 minutes. Let the Village Hall know if you need a copy. Visit the Business License page on the
Village website for more information.

Maintaining Grass in Common Areas
Please be reminded that residents are responsible for cutting grass in neighborhood com-
mon areas such as cul-de-sacs and the area between a sidewalk and street. We applaud
those residents that work together to keep their neighborhood attractive.

Annual Maintenance Programs
Sidewalk Replacement Program
This is an annual maintenance program to replace damaged sections of sidewalk throughout the Village. The
program focuses on replacing sidewalks with trip hazards. The Engineering Department conducts a survey
every few years to evaluate the current condition of sidewalks throughout the Village.
Curb Replacement Program
This is an annual maintenance program to replace hazardous, broken
and missing curb throughout the Village. The engineering depart-
ment conducts a survey every few years to evaluate the current condi-
tion of curbs throughout the Village.
Crack Sealing
This program is designed to perform preventive maintenance on re-
cently resurfaced asphalt streets throughout the Village by sealing
cracks that have developed. The goal of the program is to extend the
life cycle of the pavement. Pavement crack sealing is one of the best
and most cost effective preventive maintenance techniques to prolong
the life cycle of asphalt pavement.
Pavement Marking Program
This is an annual maintenance program to place new pavement markings with a thermoplastic material on
streets throughout the Village. The priorities for striping include school zones and school crosswalks, the
business districts and high volume streets.
Street Sweeping
The sweeping of Village streets continues to provide many benefits to residents and the community. Street
sweeping is effective at removing both large and small pollutants that collect along the Village’s streets.
Sweepers collect and remove paper, refuse materials, leaves and other debris which can collect in the gutters.
These types of debris are considered pollutants, thereby threaten the storm water collection system and also
block storm water inlets which results in localized flooding during heavy precipitation. Equally important, is
the collection of metal particles and hazardous waste left behind from passing vehicles which are extremely
harmful to the environment.

Virtual Family Fun Fridays
With limitations of gatherings, the Center decided to try something
new. On Friday June 12th, we kicked off our new Virtual Family
Fun Fridays.
The kids logged onto Zoom for JG’s Reptile Zoom Show. They got to see all kinds
of cool reptiles and learn lots of things about these creatures. Fun was had by one
and all.
Be sure to check out the website for future Virtual Family Fun Friday events. www.rlbciviccenter.com

From the Round Lake Beach Police Department
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this year’s National Night Out has
been rescheduled to October 6th at the Round Lake Beach Lakefront
Park. This event is designed to strengthen the community spirit and in-

recognize and enhance the police-community partnership. Last year’s
event attracted over 2,000 residents. Please mark your calendars and
come out and meet your police department. There will be many activi-
