Commissioners approve utility transfers, payments totaling $9.17M and purchase orders

Clerk read a series of departmental resolutions and the board approved them by roll call. Among the items approved were an increase and transfer of appropriations within the Lake County Department of Utilities' water, sewer and solid waste funds and advertising for a request for proposals for a hydrogeologic site evaluation tied to a landfill expansion. "So moved," a commissioner said before roll call confirmed approval.

The finance department presented routine fiscal items that the commissioners also approved. The board passed a resolution approving payment of bills listed on the commissioner's approval journal in the amount of $9,168,999 and purchase orders as listed totaling $931,995.51. These items were moved, seconded and approved through roll call votes recorded during the meeting; no commissioner discussion on these figures was reported during the reading of the motions.
