On Tuesday, the council will consider a resolution calling for a special municipal election to be held on the proposed South Lakeport Annexation Area on Nov. 8 for the purpose of seeking
confirmation from the voters in the annexation area.
Due to receiving protests on the proposed annexation last month, state law requires an election to be called.
In other business, council members will discuss approval of a resolution authorizing the financing through a bank of water system improvements totaling $5.845 million.
The council voted last month to approve the proposal for the financing, necessary to complete the water system improvements identified in an August 2021 rate study.
In other business, the council will hold a budget workshop to review the fiscal year 2022-23 budget, and consider authorizing the city manager to execute an agreement for administrative services and direct the finance director to transfer an initial deposit of $600,000 to the city’s pension trust accounts.
Council members also will consider a resolution authorizing the city manager to sign the statement of assurances and submit an application for the State Community Development Block
Grant, receive a report from the police chief on 2021 crime statistics, approve the acceptance of a surplus ambulance from the Lakeport Fire Protection District, award a construction contract to Pavement Coatings Company for the 2022 Microsurface Project, meet new employees Bethany Moss and Nanette Mariani, and the Lakeport Police Department will present a citizen commendation to Larry Richardson.
