• Lake County Stormwater Management Commission (SMC), under an on-going contract with the DRWW, acts as workgroup administrative and fiscal agents; therefore, SMC must ratify the contracts approved by the Workgroup.
• The LCHD FY2026 Technical Services Agreement is for performing water chemistry monitoring services for the DRWW in the amount of $99,264.00, was approved by the DRWW Executive Board on November 20, 2025, and requires SMC ratification.
• The funds to pay for workgroup expenses, including these contracts, are revenue from workgroup member dues, not SMC’s levy.
