**Jurisdiction:** SLED

The Lee County Services Committee meeting on November 10, 2026, reviewed transportation and infrastructure work, departmental reports, and zoning matters. The Oregon transit facility is under construction as a $2.4 million project, with masonry work underway and completion expected around mid-spring 2027. The transit district has also requested funding to address project gaps and purchase four expansion buses; those funding decisions were still pending. A proposed intergovernmental agreement for an IDOT bridge-bundling project was deferred while the county seeks to increase the standard bridge width from 24 to 28 feet. IDOT would handle the engineering and bidding, with no county cost under the proposal. A Brooklyn Road pavement project may be postponed until spring, with contract unit prices held.

The committee voted to forward the 2027 county MFT maintenance appropriation resolution—approximately $1.5 million, covering materials, road maintenance work, and labor/equipment reimbursement—to the Executive Committee for the November County Board agenda. It also advanced the solid waste coordinator reappointment resolution. The committee discussed potential grant funding for student transportation and other education programs, but no award decision was reported. Zoning actions included advancing Midwest Disposal petitions and extending a temporary moratorium related to the technology overlay district; no vendor or contract award was made.
