Will County Public Works & Transportation Committee Meeting June 2, 2026

The Will County Public Works & Transportation Committee met on June 2, 2026, to discuss several procurement and policy matters. A significant portion of the meeting focused on the renewal and oversight of intergovernmental agreements (IGAs) with municipalities for the placement and use of automatic license plate reader (ALPR) cameras on county roadways. Committee members debated policy standardization, audit requirements, data retention, and privacy concerns related to these cameras. While some members advocated for a uniform county policy and audit transparency, others expressed concerns about imposing additional burdens on local police departments. Ultimately, the committee voted to table the renewal of seven ALPR agreements until the August meeting, requesting municipalities submit updated policies aligned with committee recommendations. Additionally, the committee approved several contracts and agreements related to road resurfacing, right-of-way acquisition, and engineering services, including a contract award to Tri-State Asphalt LLC for materials and a professional services agreement with Clark Dietz, Inc. for design engineering on County Line Road. The committee also reviewed and accepted an updated multi-year transportation improvement plan reflecting current project costs and timelines.
