LAKEPORT, Calif. – On Tuesday the Lakeport City Council will discuss an agreement that would fund a school resource officer for the Lakeport Police Department.
The council will meet beginning at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 16, in the council chambers at Clearlake City Hall, 225 Park St.
On the agenda is an agreement between the city of Lakeport and the Lakeport Unified School District for the school resource officer position.
Lt. Jason Ferguson's report to the council explains that the school district has not had a school resource officer on its campuses since October 2012. From 1995 to 2012, the Lakeport Police Department had provided the officer to the district, but had stopped because of staffing and budget issues.
The terms of the agreement are that the district will provide the majority of funding for the position, with the city to cover the officer's salary during the summertime.
Also on Tuesday, the Lakeport Main Street Association will present a donation for the city's annual fireworks show in Library Park and Dave Garzoli of the Main Street Elite Bicycle Team will give a presentation on Road Criterium Bicycle Racing.
On the meeting's consent agenda – items considered noncontroversial and usually accepted as a slate on one vote – are ordinances; minutes of the regular Lakeport City Council meetings on July 12 and July 19; the Aug. 5 warrant register; approval of Application No. 2016-020 with staff recommendations for the annual Lake County Fair Opening Day Parade to take place Sept. 1; approval of Application No. 2016-021 with staff recommendations for the annual Splash-In event Sept. 16 to 17; approval of Application No. 2016-022 with staff recommendations for the 2016 Catfish Derby Aug. 26 to 27; adoption of a proposed resolution approving the memorandum of understanding between the Lakeport Employee’s Association for the period Aug. 16, 2016, through June 30, 2017, and authorizing its execution; and approval of the appropriations limit of $11,109,063 for fiscal year 2016-17 for the city of Lakeport and adoption of the proposed resolution; approval of the lease for fair parking at 902 Bevins Court with the 49th District Agricultural Association and authorization for the city manager to execute the lease; approval of the designated temporary disabled parking in the 200 block of C Street, between South Forbes Street and the C street gate to the Fairgrounds, from 4 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 1, to midnight Sunday, Sept. 4; receipt and filing of the 2016 Local Agency Biennial Notice regarding the city of Lakeport's Conflict of Interest Code; and the holding of a second reading of an ordinance imposing a transactions and use tax of one cent to be administered by the State Board of Equalization.
