LAKEPORT, Calif. – The Lakeport City Council will hold another hearing on a proposed city purchasing system and separately consider a purchase of equipment for the city's Public Works Department.
The meeting will begin at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 16, in the council chambers at Lakeport City Hall, 225 Park St.
This week the council will hold a public hearing for the second public hearing on a proposed ordinance to amend Chapter 3.04 of the Lakeport Municipal Code establishing a city purchasing system.
The ordinance was introduced at the council's Aug. 19 meeting and a following hearing was held at the council's Sept. 2 meeting.
The matter is being brought back after the council requested that the document's local vendor preference be changed from 5 percent to 10 percent, as Lake County News has reported.
Also on the agenda, the council will consider giving City Manager Margaret Silveira the go-ahead to sign a purchase order for a sewer combination cleaner for the Public Works Department.
The purchase order for the Aquatech Combination Cleaner is not to exceed $382,946.40.
The meeting also will feature a presentation regarding a new Halloween coloring contest event.
On the meeting's consent agenda – items considered noncontroversial and usually accepted as a slate on one vote – are ordinances; warrants; minutes of the Sept. 2 regular council meeting; approval of Application No. 2014-019 for the Lakeport Elementary School to hold its annual Halloween Parade on Friday, Oct. 31, from 12:30 to 1:15 p.m.; approval of Application No. 2014-021 for Clear Lake High School to hold its annual Homecoming Parade on Friday, Sept. 26, from 3:45 to 4:15 p.m.; adoption of a resolution approving the memorandum of understanding between the city of Lakeport and the Lakeport Police Officer’s Association for Sept. 16, 2014, through June 30, 2016; adoption of a resolution approving an addendum to the compensation and benefits program adopted June 17, 2014, for the city of Lakeport Unrepresented Employees.
Following the open session of the meeting, the council will convene in closed session to discuss negotiations with the Lakeport Employees Association.
