The council will meet for a closed session to discuss labor negotiations with unrepresented management and City Manager Margaret Silveira at 5:15 p.m. before the public portion of the meeting begins at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 4, in the council chambers at Lakeport City Hall, 225 Park St.
At Tuesday’s meeting, the council will present a proclamation of gratitude to the Lakeport Fire Protection District for its service during the recent wildfires.
The district and Cal Fire were central to protecting the city from the River fire portion of the Mendocino Complex, which caused the city to be under a mandatory evacuation for several days at the end of July and start of August.
The council also will meet new employees Kris Perkins and Jonathan Ohlen, present a proclamation in honor of Gerald “Gerry” Mills, a longtime member of the Lakeport Fire Protection District Board of Directors, on his retirement from the board, and get an update from Sutter Lakeside Hospital Chief Administrative Officer Dan Peterson on the hospital and its response to the wildfires.
Under council business, Silveira will present to the council a proposed resolution supporting opposition to Proposition 6, “Repeal of the Road Repair and Accountability Act,” which will appear on the Nov. 6 ballot.
Council members also will consider adopting a proposed resolution adopting a grievance procedure under the American Disabilities Act, Notice under the Act and designating the Administrative Services director as the ADA coordinator; authorizing the purchase of a John Deere 210L Skip Loader; and direct the city’s voting delegate to the League of California Cities Annual Conference to support the two resolutions provided in the annual
conference resolutions packet.
On the consent agenda – items considered noncontroversial and usually accepted as a slate on one vote – are ordinances; minutes of the council’s regular meeting on Aug. 21; the Aug. 31 warrant register; review and filing of the fiscal year 2017-18 Civil Grand Jury Report response; and adoption of the proposed amendment to the Abandoned Vehicle Abatement Service Authority Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement to add a fifth voting member selected at large by the service authority.
