\"The site civil work is well underway,\" said Jason Boyd, county administrator. He told commissioners the contractor completed stormwater connections along Jackson Street, prepared the building pad with gravel and fill, and plans to install haul roads and begin aggregate piers — a foundational work — within two weeks. Boyd said above‑grade construction is expected to begin in March.

Boyd said the project has used three weather days of the 27 allowed in the contract and that, after recent budget discussions about long‑lead items, the overall numbers are “trending positively.” He said the county expects to have a clearer guaranteed maximum price (GMP) position by late spring or early summer.

The administrator also noted federal engagement around funding for technology in the facility: a commissioner said Congressman Dave Joyce has worked to earmark funds for jail technology and that support from federal lawmakers would be appreciated for the Lake County Safety Center.

No formal decisions or additional funding approvals were made at the meeting; the update was provided as an operational status report.","County administrator Jason Boyd said site civil work is underway on the Lake County Sheriff’s Office project, with roads, stormwater connections and foundation preparations in place; building will begin to rise above grade in March.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6344981,"Commissioners appoint Kim Stenger to Lake County Board of Developmental Disabilities",84,376000,460000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2250001-e31c7cf1b454462783de6c3ac8824888&start=376&end=460","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2250001-e31c7cf1b454462783de6c3ac8824888/thumbnail_376000.jpg","/articles/6344981/Lake-County/Ohio/Commissioners-appoint-Kim-Stenger-to-Lake-County-Board-of-Developmental-Disabilities","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6344981-4533781b887565cea32c34e947bfcb8e/orig.mp4?Expires=1776041501&Signature=VCi1fXWD92oOQ0pPpF8EROTiP-8Klw9bASWlzCX3AKdz36DakRsW2vuplVFaRXTb1AJcgL87GSvgbFvKuBqwlVJzDvPBhsUEVtzfdXNEArfYDPg-y8gic49kulwK-2nipn3ta9DC698gLLBQxXN~ZLmVLu6D~5weenkc10GHZHy8ML~o6KmkIlS59GthSTvX~hHqEHf8cZWypa9cYBPxVwqD6kAFhmjvERQ7VeI8ZxHQB3P~8UHOtlAQ~6hqARn7QxNV24vc~yBlGFEaJJF1tWy-zYhL4ppH1ikEa-TI3xji9vS2FNaCQmLr4sKTOjJiQwRFZOJwi7gVeh4AgWHScQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Lake County Board of Commissioners voted to appoint Kim Stenger to the Lake County Board of Developmental Disabilities to fill the remainder of a four‑year term expiring Jan. 1, 2026.

Ann Mahler, assistant superintendent at the Lake County Board of Developmental Disabilities' Deepwood center, spoke in support of the appointment and said Stenger and the board “extend our sincere thanks” to the commissioners for the prompt appointment following the sudden passing of a board member in January. Mahler said Stenger brings “first‑person advocacy and perspective” and noted Stenger’s prior service on the Lake Tran Board of Trustees and the Lake County Prosecutor’s Office.

The commissioners approved the appointment by recorded voice vote. No conditions or supplemental instructions were recorded on the appointment during the meeting.

The measures included acceptance of a three‑year combined maintenance bond of $24,458.33 for sanitary sewers and water lines in Booth Farms Phase 4 in Perry Village, agreements with engineering consultants, multiple intra‑fund transfers for water and sewer rehabilitation projects and certification of unpaid water and sewer sums to the Lake County Auditor.

The items are routine financial and project‑closeout actions the county uses to move funds between project accounts, authorize consultant services and record unpaid utility charges for collection. Commissioners said the actions largely close out completed infrastructure projects and set up design and contracting for next year’s work.

Specific votes and financial items approved during the session included: a maintenance bond for Booth Farms Phase 4 (job number 24-03-204-307); an agreement with Mannik & Smith Group Inc. for services to the Lake County Department of Utilities; appropriation increases for the Armor Stone Revetment at Bacon Road Water Treatment Facility (project 04/2023); transfers for Kellogg Creek sanitary manhole rehabilitation and other waterline and sewer rehabilitation projects; certification of unpaid water and sewer sums and administrative charges; approval of the commissioner payment journal in the amount of $964,920.62; approval of purchase orders totaling $3,665,630.30; and approval of a payment to CT Consultants Inc. in the amount of $11,016.46.

Most measures passed on unanimous recorded voice votes of the three commissioners present. The payment to CT Consultants carried with two recorded votes in favor and one recorded abstention.

Commissioners and utilities staff said design and site work for next year’s projects will begin later this month and that the department expects to bring consultant contracts to the board for consideration in coming weeks.
