LAKEPORT, Calif. – The Lakeport City Council this week will discuss water restrictions in the city as well the plans for relocating the city police department to its new headquarters and a concession agreement.
The council will meet beginning at 6 p.m. Tuesday, May 5, in the council chambers at Lakeport City Hall, 225 Park St.
On Tuesday the council will consider continuing current water restrictions under a resolution passed last year. Council members also are expected to direct staff to do community outreach to educate residents and business owners of state mandates and the city's current stage one conservation requirements.
Community Development Director Kevin Ingram will present to the council a general plan amendment and zone change to facilitate the relocation of the Lakeport Police Department from its Forbes Street location to its new headquarters at 2025 S. Main St. The proposed ordinance will be introduced and a public hearing scheduled for the second reading.

In other business on Tuesday, Ingram will present an expedited project review for architectural and design review of Pacific West's 32-unit affordable senior housing development proposed to be built at 1255 Martin St.
Ingram is asking the council to direct his staff and the Lakeport Planning Commission to “engage in appropriate and legally defensible entitlement application processing activities in compliance with California law” in order to bring the project in front of the Planning Commission prior to the State HOME Grant application deadline.
Also on Tuesday, the council will get an update on the Lake County Marketing Program from Jill Ruzicka of the County Administrative Office, and will approve the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new Library Park docks on May 21, along with approval of the sale of alcohol by the Lakeport Main Street Association at the event.
