LAKEPORT, Calif. – The Lakeport City Council will start off the new year with decisions on a dock purchase, mayoral appointments and proposed personnel reclassifications.
The meeting will begin at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 6, in the council chambers at Lakeport City Hall, 225 Park St.
At the start of the meeting, the council will present proclamations to Deputy Jake Steely and Sgt. Andy Davidson of the County of Lake Sheriff’s Office for their heroic efforts on Sept. 1 to save a man who attempted to hang himself at the Natural High School property on N. Main Street. The presentation to the two deputies originally had been scheduled for a meeting late in 2014.
New city employees will be introduced to the council, which also will receive a presentation from Lakeport Police Chief Brad Rasmussen regarding police volunteer hours.
The council will conduct a public hearing and adopt a resolution approving the city’s Community Development Block Grant Supplemental Activity Amendment to a new CDBG grant.
Administrative Services Director Kelly Buendia will ask the council to approve a reclassification of the Public Works foreman to Salary Range 45 and backfill the utilities maintenance supervisor with a maintenance worker I position.
Council members also will be asked to consider reinstating the compliance officer position, disencumber funds for a planning services manager, encumber funds for an associate planner, and reclassify the planning services manager and chief building official positions to the exempt level 1 salary range.
Mayor Martin Scheel will make his appointments of council members to various committees and commissions and the council is expected to pass a resolution appointing representatives to represent and vote on behalf of the city at the League of California Cities, Redwood Empire Division, business meetings and represent the city and vote at Division Legislative Committee meetings.
Public Works Superintendent Doug Grider and Public Works Director Mark Brannigan will take to the council a proposal asking approval for City Manager Margaret Silveira to sign a purchase order totaling $226,336.67 for new docks for Library Park.
On the meeting's consent agenda – items considered noncontroversial and usually accepted as a slate on one vote – are ordinances; warrant registers from Dec. 17; approval of minutes from the regular council meeting on Dec. 16 and the emergency council meeting on Dec. 11; and rejection of a claim by Doug Bridges on the advices of REMIF and the city attorney regarding his rental, which he said flooded because the city didn't clear out a drainage ditch.
