Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Lake County public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Route 2 lighting
Commissioner Plecnik is pressing to finish lighting on Route 2 by next year as a safety issue, and the county engineer says the project can still go out to bid in time.
Jail construction progress
Administrator Jason Boyd reported pre-manufactured steel cells are arriving daily and installation has started — a milestone in the jail project.
Waste Management Contract
Concord Township is switching to a single trash hauler, Major Waste Disposal, starting February 1. If you live there, get ready for a totally new pickup routine and probably different rates.
Flock License-Plate Cameras
A resident wanted to know whether commissioners will discuss the pros and cons of Flock cameras. Commissioners said the cameras are installed by cities, villages and townships, not the county, and defended them as a targeted law-enforcement tool rather than mass surveillance.
