CLEARLAKE, Calif. – This week the Clearlake City Council will consider a request from the Konocti Unified School District to rent a city-owned building and use it for classroom space, and get a report from the city's police department on plans for officer body cameras.
The council will meet beginning at 5:30 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 23, for a closed session to discuss existing litigation and public employee discipline, dismissal and release before convening in open session at 6 p.m. in the council chambers at Clearlake City Hall, 14050 Olympic Drive.
According to a report to the council from City Manager Joan Phillipe, the Konocti Unified School District is asking to rent a city facility at 4700 Golf Ave. for classroom space for Blue Heron School, which serves grades ninth through 12th.
Phillipe said 24 students currently are enrolled at Blue Heron School, with daily attendance fluctuating between eight and 12 students.
The building is in need of repair and will require mold remediation, Phillipe said.
City staff is recommending an annual lease cost to the district of $1 – for a term of five years – in change for the district making repairs to the building, she said.
Phillipe said the repairs are estimated to cost between $25,000 and $30,000.
In other business, the council will receive a status report from the Clearlake Police Department on the use of officer body cameras.
The update will be a verbal report, and so no written materials were included in the agenda packet.
Also on Thursday's agenda is a presentation by the finance director on the ACS Financial System and consideration of an agreement between the city and the Clearlake Redevelopment Successor Agency to expend excess 2006 bond proceeds in compliance with state Health and Safety Code.
Items on the consent agenda – considered to be noncontroversial and accepted as a slate with one vote – include warrant registers, minutes from the Sept. 10 Lake County Vector Control District meeting, and quarter reports from the city's police, finance, city clerk, engineering and public works departments.
