LAKEPORT, Calif. – This week the Lakeport City Council will consider approval of an updated contract with Lakeport Disposal for universal waste disposal services for the city and consider the necessary steps to bring back a final restructuring plan for the city's CALPERS obligations.
The council will meet at 6 p.m. Tuesday, May 19, in the council chambers at Lakeport City Hall, 225 Park St.
Under council business, council members will consider approving the memorandum of understanding with Bicoastal Media LLC for the Summer Concert Series and provide direction to staff regarding dogs in the parks during the concerts.
Council members also are expected to approve the contract with Pyro Spectaculars North Inc., and authorize City Manager Margaret Silveira to execute the contract for the annual July 4 fireworks display.
Public Works Director Mark Brannigan will take to the council a resolution adding no parking zones on Bevins Street to prohibited parking zones in the city.
Brannigan also will present the proposed updated solid waste agreement with Lakeport Disposal, which has been under negotiation between the city and the company for some months.
Staff is seeking authorization from the council for Silveira to sign the agreement and to authorize the beginning of the process required by Proposition 218 to notify customers of the changes, since the city has mandatory service and will be doing the billing services, according to Brannigan's report.
Finance Director Dan Buffalo will take to the council a request for authorization to work with a financing team as necessary to bring to the council a final restructuring plan for the unfunded accrued actuarial liability obligations of the city to CALPERS.
As part of the item, Buffalo will seek authorization to have Silveira sign all related documents, including a professional service agreement with Weist Law Firm for bond counsel services not to exceed $55,000; an amendment to the professional service agreement with NHA Advisors for financial advisory services related to the restructuring to include an additional $20,000; a professional service agreement with Southwest Securities Inc. for placement agent services not to exceed $15,000; and adoption of the proposed resolution.
On the meeting's consent agenda – items considered noncontroversial and usually accepted as a slate on one vote – are ordinances; warrant registers from May 17; minutes of the regular council meeting on May 5; receipt and filing of the Illegal Fireworks Police Operation Plan; and approval of Application No. 2015-009 with staff comments for the Lakeport Main Street Association to hold its annual Shipwreck Days event on Saturday, Oct. 17, 2015, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
