At the beginning of the meeting, the council will meet one of August’s adoptable dogs, and there will be presentations by the Lake County Economic Development Corp. of the Lake County Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy and by the Lower Lake High School Future Farmers of America.

Under council business, staff will present a case study of the water district consolidation in the Ukiah Valley and seek direction from the council.

The council also will discuss and consider adopting city guidelines for tribal consultation on projects.

In other business, there will be consideration of a name change related to the purchase and sale agreement for property at 2890 Old Highway 53 to Danco Homes LLC.

City Manager Alan Flora’s report to the council explains that in 2021, the city council — acting as the successor agency to the City Redevelopment Agency — approved the sale of 29 acres of land to Danco Homes LLC for the purposes of developing a 22 lot subdivision.

The Clearlake Planning Commission approved the subdivision in December, which was a condition of escrow, Flora said.

Flora said that, during the escrow closing process, “Danco expressed an interest in creating a different LLC to take possession of the property.”

That different LLC is Danco Homes 2, which like Danco Homes is also under the control of Danco Communities.

Acting as the successor agency, the council is asked to approve the sale to Danco Homes 2, with the term of the purchase and sale agreement to be extended through Dec. 31, 2024.

On the meeting's consent agenda — items that are considered routine in nature and usually adopted on a single vote — are warrants; minutes; authorization of an on-call contract with California Engineering Co. in the amount of $82,669.10 for the Clean California Project; award of the contract with California Engineering in the amount of $134,075.21 for engineering design services for the Rumsey/Turner Road Rehabilitation Project; adoption of Resolution 2024-35, the first amendment to the fiscal year 2024-25 Budget (Resolution 2024-30), adjusting revenues and appropriations; continuation of director of emergency services/city manager proclamation declaring a local emergency for winter storms; and acceptance for filing the 2024 local agency biennial notice regarding amendments to the conflict of interest code.

Following the open portion of the meeting, the council will go into closed session to discuss the existing litigation against Highlands Mutual Water Co.
