Summary

The Board presented an APWA award to the Public Works Department and approved the annual highway users tax fund report after a presentation by Public Works Director Michael Erwin that included road‑mile accounting and two road additions.

The Lake County Board of County Commissioners presented the American Public Works Association award to the county Public Works Department and praised staff for projects and maintenance work.

"All of the hardest work that I see, happening in this community, a large majority of it is done by the guys and ladies in this room," the chair said while presenting the award.

Public Works Director Michael Erwin then led the county's annual highway users tax fund report, describing the county's mileage inventory and condition accounting required by the state. Erwin said the county currently reports roughly "388 89" eligible lane miles for HGF funds, noted reclassifications of recently paved roads to "good," and said he added two roads to the list this year: Stagecoats Road (designated County Road 27) and Snowshoe Rabbit Drive (a subdivision road now added to the plan).

A commissioner moved to approve the annual highway users tax fund report; the board voted to approve the motion.

Next steps: Erwin will finalize and sign the report for submission to the state as required.
