Residents to Deliver Petitions to Crystal Lake Park District Board of Commissioners
Crystal Lake, IL - A nonpartisan group of residents served by the Crystal Lake Park District, will deliver over 960 petitions calling for transparency and accountability from Crystal Lake Park Board President (Frederick Tiesenga) and his voting block (Keith Nisenson, Richard Hickey, and Jason Heisler) and their Attorney, Eric Anderson.
Residents are concerned with a growing list of decisions and actions that seem to prioritize private interests over public welfare. Examples include: Directing the Park District to treat private shoreline property (including property owned by Board Members Tiesenga & Nisenson), Hiring an attorney, Eric Anderson, who is a former Park Board Member & friend at double the rate of the last attorney without proper documentation or request for proposal, and canceling the Park District’s relationship with the Lake Ecology Advisory Committee to replace it with the private Shoreline Property Owners Association.
Residents have been collecting petitions and plan to address the board during the public comment portion of the meeting.

Who: Residents served by the Crystal Lake Park District
When: Monday, July 21, 2025 at 6:30pm
