LAKEPORT, Calif. – The Lakeport City Council will consider a response to a request that it work out differences with the county over an annexation project and hold two public hearings when it meets this week.
The meeting will begin at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 19, in the council chambers at Lakeport City Hall, 225 Park St.
Items listed on the council's consent agenda – a slate of items usually accepted with one vote at the start of the meeting – include ordinances, warrants, meeting minutes, building permit report and authorization to contract with Wilda Shock for economic development services for the city of Lakeport.
City Manager Margaret Silveira will ask the council for direction regarding a letter the city received from the Lake County Local Area Formation Commission, also called LAFCO.
As Lake County News previously reported, LAFCO planned to send a letter to both the city and the county to ask that they work to resolve a longstanding conflict over a city proposal to annex a 197-acre area along the South Main Street and Soda Bay Road corridor, which also is the county's most lucrative sales tax generating area.
Also on Tuesday, the council will hold two public hearings.
The first is for an ordinance revising the regulations related to the placement and construction of secondary accessory dwelling units in the city’s residential zoning districts.
The second public hearing is for an ordinance adding new chapters to city code to establish an administrative citation policy and correlating appeal procedure.
The council also will hold a closed session to discuss a case of anticipated litigation.
