The Clearlake City Council will hold a closed session at 5:30 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 13, to discuss cases of anticipated litigation and property negotiations for 14130 Tuli Lane before convening for the public portion of its regularly scheduled meeting at 6 p.m. in the council chambers at Clearlake City Hall, 14050 Olympic Drive.
The council will start off the meeting with a presentation to outgoing Mayor Bruno Sabatier, who is leaving the council to take over as the new District 2 representative on the Lake County Board of Supervisors.
There also will be a swearing-in of a new police lieutenant, police officer, code enforcement officer, kennel technician and dispatcher.
Under business, the council will accept the November 2018 election results and then administer the oaths of office to Russell Cremer and Dirk Slooten, who were elected to the council.
Cremer was appointed to fill a vacancy on the council earlier this year and successfully ran to keep the seat. Slooten, who like Cremer has served on the city planning commission for many years, was the top vote-getter in the November race. Both men are members of Rotary and have been active in raising funds for local fire recovery.
The Thursday meeting agenda also includes two public hearings on commercial cannabis operations proposed by Justin Jones and Steven Malone.
Other business includes consideration of the 2018 city photo contest entries, an automated license plate recognition program, a contract for a transportation improvement program study, the first reading of an ordinance to amend the Clearlake Municipal Code regarding sidewalk vendors and door-to-door sales and city code regulating itinerant businesses; an amendment of the contract with Foster Morrison to add the Lake County Fire Protection District to the Clearlake Local Hazard Mitigation Plan; and consideration of the fourth amendment to the employment services agreement for City Manager Greg Folsom.
