LAKEPORT, Calif. – The Lakeport City Council this week will discuss changes to an ordinance regarding a city committee and get an update on the city's Downtown Improvement Project.
The council will meet at 5 p.m. for a closed session to discuss labor negotiations and a utility easement at 818 Lakeport Blvd. before the public portion of the meeting begins at 6 p.m. Tuesday, May 3, in the council chambers at Lakeport City Hall, 225 Park St.
On Tuesday, the council will present a proclamation honoring Ginny Craven for her contributions to
the community, and specifically her work with Operation Tango Mike, and will get an update from Mike Adams regarding the Soper Reese Theatre.
On the agenda is a public hearing on an ordinance regarding the Traffic Safety Advisory Committee, which is introducing “changes aimed at removing recruitment barriers, recruitment inefficiencies and operational inefficiencies,” according to City Clerk Kelly Buendia's report.
Buendia's report explains that at the April 5 and 19 meetings, the council introduced and took public testimony on the ordinance.
As a result, the council requested two amendments: that meetings take place every other month and that membership be opened to a maximum of two nonresidents. Those changes have been worked into the ordinance to be presented on Tuesday.
Also on Tuesday, Community Development Director Kevin Ingram will give the city on the Downtown Improvement Project's progress.
In other business, Public Works Superintendent Doug Grider will present to the council a bid award to Granite Construction Co. for the Bevins Street Pavement Rehabilitation Project.
The council also will present proclamations designating May 15 to 21 as Police Week and the month of May 2016 as Military Appreciation Month in the city of Lakeport.
