LAKEPORT, Calif. – The Lakeport City Council this week will discuss a letter from the Local Area Formation Commission requesting the city and county meet over an annexation proposal, and also will take up a utility deferral agreement and a proposal for new downtown signage.
The council will meet beginning at 6 p.m. Tuesday, March 5, in the council chambers at Lakeport City Hall, 225 Park St.
On the council’s consent agenda – a slate of items usually accepted on one vote – are ordinances, warrants, minutes, a resolution confirming the mayoral appointment of one permanent member and one alternate member to the oversight board of the former Lakeport Redevelopment Agency and a letter of support for Congressman Thompson's Gun Violence Task Prevention Task Force.
At the Tuesday meeting, City Manager Margaret Silveira will seek council direction regarding a letter from the Lake County Local Area Formation Commission – or LAFCO – requesting that the city and the county of Lake meet.
LAFCO wants the two local governments to meet and try to work out disagreements over the city’s proposal to annex the 197-acre South Main Street corridor.
In other business, City Attorney Steve Brookes will take to the council the final consideration of the sewer and water expansion fee deferral agreement for the Lakeport Senior Apartments Project, which is being developed by Lakeport Pacific Associates.
The council also will consider adjusting the Westshore Pool manager classification pay to be competitive with the surrounding communities and provide direction to staff regarding the operation of the pool this season.
City Engineer Scott Harter will ask the council to consider a proposal to partner with the Lakeport Main Street Association for the installation of alternate street signs in the historic downtown area.
Council members also will consider giving staff direction regarding a request from Mediacom for an aerial easement.
In a closed session, the council will discuss a case of anticipated litigation.
