Lake County commissioners voted unanimously on a bundle of resolutions approving utility project transfers, a sanitary improvement estimated at $518,000, certification of unpaid water/sewer charges, and payment journals totaling $1,268,789.39, among other routine financial actions.
At the Feb. 5 meeting the Lake County Board of Commissioners approved a series of resolutions spanning utilities projects, appropriation transfers and routine financial actions.
Key items approved by roll call included:
• Final release of a three‑year maintenance surety for the Shandell Boulevard sanitary sewer extension (Job No. 22‑30).
• Acceptance of plans, specifications and an estimate of cost of $518,000 for the new 4th Street sanitary improvements project (4 502W2025).
• Multiple appropriations transfers within Department of Utilities project funds, including the Union Street water line replacement (Project 479W2024) and project fund 596 covering Adams, Melridge and the Industrial Park.
• Certification of unpaid water and sewer sums and administrative charges to the Lake County Auditor.
• Finance resolutions approving payment of bills totaling $1,268,789.39 and purchase orders totaling $547,801.10, plus several increases and transfers of appropriations for non‑general fund accounts.
Commissioners also approved the planning commission appointment of Sean Isha as an alternate (recommended by member Randy Van Buren) and ratified a revision to the Northeast Ohio Area Wide Coordinating Agency code of regulations after the assistant prosecutor reported a review. Nearly all items were moved, seconded and approved by unanimous roll calls.
What’s next: These actions authorize staff to proceed with the listed projects and accounting adjustments; specific procurement and project scheduling will be handled by the Department of Utilities and finance staff.
