# Lake County Commission Meeting October 13, 2026

The Lake County Board of County Commissioners meeting on October 13, 2026, included several spending and infrastructure discussions. The board approved moving forward with a potential CDBG-funded acquisition of a repeatedly flooded property, with up to $262,082.90 available for the appraised purchase price and demolition/remediation; the homeowner may separately apply for SHIP assistance. The motion also directed staff to assess other chronically flooded properties and funding options, including revisiting hazard-mitigation grants, and return with findings within about six months. Separately, commissioners discussed possible short-term aid for businesses affected by the Eudora Road roundabout construction. Staff will explore options for wayfinding and communication policies and present possible approaches; no business grant program or funding was approved, and commissioners raised concerns about using general funds. An employee recognition noted that a county financial coordinator helped restore discounted E-rate internet pricing for the library consortium, reducing communications costs and supporting further technology funding efforts; no dollar amount or vendor was stated.

The board approved advertising an ordinance on historical and archaeological resource affidavits and passed a motion seeking Forest Service action to address access and dumping problems at the Pontiac Cemetery. On data centers, commissioners discussed proposed conditional-use zoning and additional application analyses; the motion was to consider advertising the ordinance at the October 27 meeting, with no final ordinance vote recorded. A six-month moratorium extension and public meetings were also proposed for further consideration, but no extension vote is recorded. The board also reached consensus to send a request regarding four-laning County Road 48 in connection with a Leesburg annexation report. No contract awards or bid approvals were identified.
