LAKEPORT, Calif. – The Lakeport City Council this week will hold a public hearing on a prezoning ordinance relating to the city's sphere of influence and consider an agreement for bond counsel.
The council will meet in closed session at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, April 21, to discuss a case of existing litigation with the county of Lake over the former sheriff cutting off Lakeport Police's access to shared law enforcement records before convening in public session at 6 p.m. in the council chambers at Lakeport City Hall, 225 Park St.
On Tuesday the council will conduct a public hearing and is expected to adopt a proposed ordinance amending the prezoning map in the South Main Street and Soda Bay Road Area of the Lakeport Sphere of Influence.
In February the council approved a resolution that approved general plan amendments including the reduction of the sphere of influence, and modified general plan policies and actions to address land use, conservation, infrastructure, utilities and growth, and amended the general plan land use map.
The report to the council from Community Development Director Kevin Ingram and Special Project Coordinator Richard Knoll said the Lakeport Planning Commission proposed the action in order to be consistent with the Lakeport General Plan.
Under council business, Finance Director Dan Buffalo will take to the council the request to approve and authorize City Manager Margaret Silveira's signing of an agreement with the Weist Law Firm to serve as bond counsel to the city for financing with USDA Rural Development.
On the meeting's consent agenda – items considered noncontroversial and usually accepted as a slate on one vote – are ordinances; warrant registers for Feb. 10, March 26 and April 8; minutes of the council's regular April 7 meeting; and authorization of acceptance of the one and one and a half million gallon potable storage tank repair and recoating project, and recordation of a notice of completion with the county of Lake.
