The Lake County Board of Commissioners approved a set of routine resolutions including advertising bids for the 2026 county resurfacing project (bid opening April 8, 2026), release of retainage to United Survey Inc., certification of unpaid water and sewer charges to the county auditor, and approvals of purchase orders and appropriation transfers; all motions passed by roll call with present commissioners voting in the affirmative.
The Lake County Board of Commissioners approved a package of resolutions at its regular meeting, including a resolution to advertise bids for the 2026 Lake County Resurfacing Project and several routine fiscal and utilities actions.
The engineer's office presented a resolution to advertise for bids for the Lake County Resurfacing Project 2026 covering Concord, Leroy and Painville townships (LCE project number 2025-020). The board set the bid opening for April 8, 2026 and approved the resolution by roll call.
The utilities department presented a final estimate and recommended release of retainage to United Survey Incorporated: the retainage amount was read in the transcript as $16,478, and a three-year maintenance bond was accepted in the amount of $39,333.20 for the Bellflower Area / Palmerston Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation Project (Project 403S 2017). The board approved the retainage release and bond acceptance by roll call.
Other items approved included a resolution certifying unpaid water and sewer sums and administrative charges to the Lake County Auditor for collection; a finance resolution approving payment of bills as listed on the commissioner's approval journal (the amount read in the transcript appears garbled as "1,610,3745" and is unclear in the record); approval of purchase orders totaling $169,268.78 as listed in the purchase order approval journal; an increase to a non-general fund appropriation; and a transfer within a general fund account. All resolutions were moved, seconded and approved on roll call with the commissioners present voting in the affirmative.
The meeting recorded no public comment on agenda items. The board set its next meeting for Thursday, March 19 at 10:00 a.m. and adjourned after final roll call; no executive session was scheduled.
