Last week, Mayor Pro Tem Mireya Turner accepted the job of Lake County Community Development director on a permanent basis, as Lake County News has reported.
On the same day, Aug. 30, Turner immediately resigned her position on the Lakeport City Council after two terms.
On Tuesday, the council will be asked to direct City Clerk/Administrative Services Director Kelly Buendia to solicit applications to fill Turner’s seat and to work with Mayor Stacey Mattina to set a date and time for interviews at either a regular or special meeting.
At the same time, the council will be asked to nominate and elect a new mayor pro tem.
On Tuesday, the council is set to hold a public hearing for staff to introduce approval of entitlements related to the Parkside Residential Project, proposed by Waterstone Residential.
The newest plans for the property includes 128 new apartment units and 48 cluster homes on the 15-acre site at 1310 Craig Ave.
Staff will introduce the project’s general plan amendment, zoning code amendment and approval of a mitigated negative declaration under the California Environmental Quality Act.
The council will hold the first reading of the zone change ordinance and schedule a public hearing for a second reading of the ordinance for Sept. 20.
The Lakeport Planning Commission considered the project at its Aug. 10 meeting and is recommending the council approve it.
In other business on Tuesday, the council will receive a presentation about the second phase of a feasibility study on a recreation center, will discuss the revised commercial lease agreement with the Lakeport Yacht Club for use of the facility located at 15 Fifth St., and consider approving the associated purchase agreement for the procurement of a 2023 John Deere 310 SL backhoe.
On the consent agenda — items usually accepted as a slate on one vote — are ordinances; minutes of the special and regular meetings on Aug. 16; adoption of a resolution authorizing continued remote teleconference meetings of the Lakeport City Council and its legislative bodies pursuant to Government Code section 54953(e); approval of event application 2022-021, with staff recommendations, for the 2022 Climb Out of the Darkness event; approval of event application 2022-024, with staff recommendations, for the Lore of the Lake event; authorize the city manager to submit city of Lakeport responses to the 2021-2022 Lake County Civil Grand Jury 2021-2022 Final Report to the Lake County Superior Court; and conduct a second reading and adopt the ordinance amending section 17.52.040 of Title 17 of the Lakeport Municipal Code regarding the text of the Sign Ordinance.
The council also will hold a closed session for labor negotiations with the Lakeport Police Officers’ Association.
