Lee College Board of Regents agenda: 2026-27 tax levy, sonography degree up for consideration
Lee College's Board of Regents had four sessions scheduled for Oct. 15 — a public hearing on the proposed 2026 tax rate, two workshop meetings, and a regular meeting. Agendas for those sessions have been published; minutes have not. As a result, the record available this week shows what was scheduled for discussion and consideration, not what was approved. No vote tallies, tax rate figures, or dollar amounts appear in the available records.
Tax levy and rate on the table
The regular meeting agenda listed "Adoption of the 2026-27 Tax Levy Order and Resolution." Separately, a public hearing was scheduled to receive comments on the proposed tax rate for the 2026 tax year. The records provided do not include the proposed rate, the levy amount, or any outcome from either session.
Proposed sonography degree program
The board's regular meeting agenda included consideration of a new Associate Degree Program in Sonography. The records do not state whether the item was acted on, and no details on curriculum, enrollment plans, or cost were included.
Vehicles, software, and a rental agreement
Three purchasing and contract items appeared on the regular meeting agenda:
- Purchase of five maintenance vehicles from Silsbee Ford
- Approval of Oracle PeopleSoft license and technical support services
- Modifications to the Huntsville Center Rental Agreement with Continuum Asset Holdings, LLC
No contract values, authorization ceilings, or payment figures were provided for any of these items.
Planning documents reviewed in workshop
Two workshop sessions were scheduled alongside the regular meeting. One was to review a Strategic Plan Update and to discuss matters of concern for future agendas. The other was to receive a Facilities Master Plan Update presented by Pfluger Architects. Neither workshop agenda included action items, and the records do not describe the content of either presentation.
Personnel and policy items
The regular meeting summary also listed personnel hires and local policy revisions among the items before the board. The records do not identify the positions, the individuals, or which policies were under review.
What the record does not show
Because minutes from the Oct. 15 sessions have not been published, this roundup cannot report what the board decided, how any member voted, or whether the tax levy, the sonography program, or the purchase items were approved, tabled, or withdrawn. Absence of an outcome in these records is not evidence that no action was taken. The official agenda and, once available, the approved minutes are the authoritative documents.
Coming up
No meetings of the Board of Regents or related bodies appear in the records provided for the next 14 days. Residents who want to follow the Oct. 15 items should watch for posted minutes from the regular meeting and the public hearing.
