Summary
In a routine meeting, the Lee County Commission approved the consent agenda, awarded a uniform-cleaning contract to the sole bidder, approved two subdivision plats, accepted a $35,000 shared-cost agreement for Thistle Lane, approved Triple R resurfacing expenditures, and authorized a weather-camera agreement.
The Lee County Commission approved a series of routine items at its meeting, including the consent agenda, a contract recommendation for the sheriff's office, two subdivision plats, an intergovernmental road-surface agreement with the city of Auburn and a list of resurfacing projects funded by Triple R allocations.
Why it matters: The approvals clear administrative and procurement steps that move multiple county projects forward — from road resurfacing and a local joint road project to subdivisions that change land parcels — and include a contract award for daily operations at the sheriff's office.
Highlights of approved actions:
- Consent agenda: The commission approved minutes from Nov. 24, claims listings, procurement-card transactions and commissioners' appropriations by voice vote.
- Sheriff's office uniform cleaning: Sheriff Jones said staff solicited bids from six vendors and received a response only from the incumbent, Wade Cleaners; he recommended awarding the contract to Wade Cleaners and the commission approved the recommendation by voice vote. "We received a response from Wade cleaning the current, vendor only," he said on the record.
- Farmville Ridge final plat (Commission District 1): Highway/land staff presented a final plat creating eight lots along Lee Road 72; no public opposition appeared and the commission approved the plat.
- 112-acre subdivision (Lee Roads 462 and 463, Commission District 4): Staff presented a plat splitting 112 acres into three lots; adjacent property owners were notified and the commission approved the subdivision.
- Thistle Lane (Lee Road 672) wearing surface: Staff described a joint project with the city of Auburn. The city agreed to pay up to $35,000 toward the wearing surface; the commission approved the intergovernmental agreement.
- Triple R resurfacing list and funding: Staff presented recommended uses of Triple R funds, including 2025 carryover, projected 2026 revenue and a supplemental $1,500,000 previously approved for resurfacing; the commission approved the list and authorized preliminary highway-department work to prepare for contractors.
- Web weather-camera agreement: The commission approved a standard agreement that includes privacy and data-retention terms; staff said archived data would remain with the provider even if the agreement were terminated.
Most approvals were completed by voice vote; the transcript does not record roll-call tallies or named yea/nay counts for these items. The commission adjourned and set the next meeting for Jan. 12.
