On Tuesday, the council will receive an update on the All Children Thrive Youth Governance Council.
The council also will hold two public hearings.
The first will relate to the preparation of an application for Community Development Block Grant funding.
The second public hearing is to adopt an ordinance adding chapter 12.30 and amending chapters 9.08 and 10.08 of the Lakeport Municipal Code related to skating and
skateboarding in any skate park, parklands and the downtown district.
The new Lakefront Park will include a skate park, and Administrative Services Director/City Clerk Kelly Buendia’s written report to the council explained that the city needs to adopt an ordinance in compliance with Health and Safety Code Section 115800 which prohibits persons from riding a skateboard at a skateboard park without a helmet, elbow pads and knee pads.
“Last January, the passage of Senate Bill 1003 extended those requirements to persons using nonmotorized bicycles, scooters, inline skates, roller skates, or wheelchairs,” Buendia said.
In council business, the city manager will ask the council to adopt a resolution to oppose Initiative 21-0042A1, The Taxpayer Protection and Government Accountability Act.
The council also will get an update on the Lakefront Park project.
Public Works Superintendent Ron Ladd will ask the council to adopt a resolution naming the new playground structure to be located at Westside Park’s phase two the “Lakeport Lions Legacy Playground” and to adopt a resolution naming the new sports amenity, also to be located in the park’s phase two, the Futsol Pitch “In Memory of Marla Ruzicka.”
On the consent agenda — items usually accepted as a slate on one vote — are ordinances; minutes of the council’s regular meeting on Feb. 1; the Jan. 28 warrant register; and adoption of the proposed resolution adopting a records retention schedule, and authorizing destruction of certain city records and rescinding Resolution No. 2799 (2021).
