At the LEC, staff said they resolved an outlet problem used for medical devices after discovering an on/off control and continue troubleshooting an economizer on a unit. Staff reported installing a bike-rack storage cabinet, a gun rack, and completing mulch work.

On lighting, LED lamp replacements are complete on the first and second floors and the third-floor hallways; only a few offices and courtroom 330 remained to be converted before the building is fully upgraded. Fourth-floor flooring at the New Courthouse is about 98% complete; the remaining work depends on state information-technology staff removing racks and servers from the FTR Room so flooring can be installed there.

Staff said most courtroom ceiling soundproofing is finished; minor tweaks remain around the jury room adjacent to the areas identified as Judge Ackard’s and Draper’s. Facilities reported a valve rebuild for backflow testing at New Courts remains pending and was noted as an item previously discussed.

Parking-lot sealcoating and striping at the New Courthouse is scheduled for the end of the month on the 30th and 31st; staff asked people to move vehicles before the work begins and said work would likely start around 4:30–5:00 p.m. and conclude so lots reopen Monday. The custodian van has been assigned to custodian Matt Chandler to replace shared-use vehicles. Animal Control’s kennel siding is scheduled for July, and staff said they are still waiting on iPads from the IT department for Facilities Management work-order processes.

Old Courts north doors now have new hinges, closers and ProCom-installed card readers; the doors will be on a controlled schedule (opening at 8:00 a.m. and closing at 4:30 p.m.) with card or key access for exceptions. Facilities staff reported an unresolved generator issue and a slow leak under investigation; rain patterns have limited detection. Staff said they will continue routine grounds work at Lee Center School and will coordinate with the highway department for equipment as needed.

Committee members did not take formal votes on these items during the meeting. Staff requested no new work orders and said specific cost figures, timelines for some repairs or exact work-order dates were not provided during the report.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Lee County Facilities and Maintenance Committee Meeting - 05/13/2025","oneSentenceSummary","Facilities staff gave a multi-site maintenance report covering the Law Enforcement Center, New Courthouse, Old Courts and Animal Control, listing completed LED upgrades, near-complete Fourth Floor flooring and scheduled sealcoating among other items.","taxTitle","Lee County, Illinois","taxId",58219,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6060978,"Five of Six Fan Motors Fail at Lee County New Courthouse; Temperatures Near 80°F in Some Rooms",60,99000,159000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3287651-6f6405ead1d324e119a392463c40ba69&start=99&end=159","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3287651-6f6405ead1d324e119a392463c40ba69/thumbnail_99000.jpg","/articles/6060978/Lee-County/Illinois/Five-of-Six-Fan-Motors-Fail-at-Lee-County-New-Courthouse-Temperatures-Near-80F-in-Some-Rooms","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6060978-41c3699c7b0785308c7512653d263670/orig.mp4?Expires=1771137863&Signature=a4bU8XQ33OqWUeHyTjfl9JtO-P9W8MKVuF8k1gv72zfqHuTDqeALPaBg7iKO78JtkCEFp7yoOuOsWuJpgybIQq040tpwUsXyo5CMyHh99LAUut54zwPSYYWGNblOiMt-KTaUAnQCOwqQ7PjllYzBJXOfClHI2tasC5TdDol9r-rJH5HZ6HWndrL8f8hZa4QjAlCODyomdrj~HkT4tTvqukMc9J7dA~P6LdBAeF8SwtkHyHjUkjVkmPYz1vC0ntVT9LolPnvCDhWukBSVAjD6-DfWpBi0ZaaeIcWWouUagTzYHyaMJaoqx~bi-7nRCuTNp1qSGV~I2Dkh41lGT6lMCw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Eric, a Lee County facilities staff member, told the Facilities & Maintenance Committee that five of six fan motors on recently installed HVAC units at the New Courthouse failed the same day, affecting fourth- and third-floor systems and some second-floor areas.

The failure “controls Fourth Floor, Third Floor, and some of Second Floor areas,” Eric said. He said some rooms could reach “pretty close to 80 degrees” while staff work to troubleshoot, order parts and deploy temporary cooling. Eric said the units are brand new and should be covered by warranty.

Committee members asked about a timeline for repairs. Eric said the problem “just happened today” and that he expected more information later the same day or the following day. He also said staff are preparing temporary solutions, including bringing in temporary air conditioning if needed, and that employees may bring personal fans in the meantime.

The committee did not vote on any measure related to the HVAC failure during the meeting. There was no formal direction recorded beyond staff troubleshooting, ordering parts and arranging temporary cooling.

For courthouse users, the facilities staff said they will monitor affected spaces and implement temporary measures until warranty repairs are completed. No firm return-to-normal date was provided at the meeting.","Lee County facilities staff reported five of six fan motors failed in recently installed HVAC units at the New Courthouse, leaving some rooms near 80 degrees; units are under warranty and staff are arranging temporary cooling and replacement parts.","actionData","errors"]
