Clearlake Animal Control partners with SPCA of Clear Lake for services
CLEARLAKE, Calif. – Clearlake Animal Control announced that it has begun a new partnership with the SPCA of Clear Lake.
The partnership, which began Oct. 21, will allow for the city of Clearlake Animal Control Division to focus solely on animal-related complaints, abuse cases, violations, welfare checks and community awareness.
This summer, the Clearlake City Council approved a three-year contract with the local SPCA, which – among other things – is to provide a drop off location for animals, veterinary service, low-cost vaccination clinics in the city limits, and maintain a Facebook page and Web site for adoptions.
All animals that are impounded by the Clearlake Animal Control officer are transported daily to the SPCA of Clear Lake and animals are no longer boarded at its Clearlake facility.
For citizens of the city of Clearlake, you should contact the Clearlake Animal Control officer at 707-994-8201, Extension 118, when reporting any and all animal complaints, welfare checks, reports of abuse, vicious or dangerous animals at large, animal bites, injured animals and all other animal nuisance reports.
Clearlake Animal Control operates out of the Clearlake Police Department, located at 14050 Olympic Drive in Clearlake.
Clearlake Animal Control’s normal business hours are Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. After-hour and weekend emergencies only will continue to be handled by Clearlake Police Department patrol officers.
For citizens of the city of Clearlake only, you should contact the SPCA of Clear Lake at 707-995-CARE or 707-279-1400 to inquire about city of Clearlake dog licensing, lost, found or impounded animals, redeeming or surrendering an animal, public drop off of animals, adoptions, low cost spay/neuter clinic, vaccination clinics and microchipping.
The SPCA of Clear Lake is located at 8025 Highway 29 in Kelseyville, just south of the Kit’s Corner intersection by the Clear Lake Riviera.
The SPCA of Clear Lake accepts public drop off of animals from the city of Clearlake only with proof of address required at the time of drop off. It is recommended that you contact their office prior to drop off. Public drop off hours are Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to noon.
In addition, citizens of the city of Clearlake can still license their dogs at Clearlake Veterinary Clinic, located at 3424 Emerson St. in Clearlake; Clearlake City Hall, 14050 Olympic Drive; or by visiting the SPCA's Kelseyville office.

Clearlake City Council approves ADA plan, extends Lakeshore Drive building moratorium
CLEARLAKE, Calif. – The Clearlake City Council approved an Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Self-Evaluation and Transition Plan for the city during its regular meeting on Thursday at Clearlake City Hall.
The development of the plan is a requirement of federal regulations implementing the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, which requires all organizations receiving federal funds make their programs available without discrimination toward people with disabilities.
City Manager Joan Phillipe said because the city receives federal grant funds through Caltrans for street maintenance and improvement projects, as well as other federal grant programs, the city is required to adopt such a plan.
The plan is a working document that can be amended as needed by the city.
The plan was developed under contract with Moore Iacofano and Goltman Inc., with grant funding provided through the Lake County/City Area Planning Council.
Citizen Peter Shandera was commended by Phillipe, as well as members of the council, for time he volunteered to assist with the development of the plan.
Mayor Joyce Overton said Shandera's service was greatly appreciated by the council and the community.
Tim Gilbert, principal with Moore Iacofano and Goltman, presented an overview of the plan, noting that 20 percent of the population lives with disabilities while 10 percent lives with severe disabilities.
He said the plan is a working document that is meant to “keep up with the demographic shift of our communities” and serve the population through the long term of people's life spans.
The plan, through review and analysis, identifies physical barriers for people with disabilities in accessing city programs, services and activities. It identifies areas of service and provides guideline options for maintaining compliance.
The plan also prescribes the city's responsibility for ensuring future construction meets ADA requirement and compliance with use of current state building codes.
Rick Mayo, who is a disabled Clearlake citizen, commended the efforts exerted in developing the plan.
“It's very extensive. I read the whole 150 pages and I was impressed,” he said. “I did find a few areas of concern but, as you said, it's a working document.”
Mayo said a lack of lighting at Highlands Park is of concern to him as person with disabilities. He asked the city to address the issue when money becomes available. He also cited the lack of legends in correspondence with maps included in the plan.
Finally, Mayo suggested an ADA committee be formed to help address additional barriers not identified in plan.
The ADA Self-Evaluation and Transition Plan is available for public review at Clearlake City Hall.
In other council business, a temporary building moratorium on Lakeshore Drive was extended.
The extension is to provide time to implement design guidelines to be used in the processing of planning and building permit applications that are within the “design district” overlay on the commercial zone districts in the Lakeshore Drive corridor.
The council also authorized the city manager to terminate a contract with Pun and McGeady for auditing services and execute a contract for services with Terry Krieg, CPA.
Phillipe said Pun and McGeady was not providing the adequate advisory services to staff.
“While Pun and McGeady certainly have the accounting expertise to do our audits, I and others in our department, both current and prior, feel the service we are receiving is not the quality we would like,” she said.
The contract with Pun and McGeady has a “no cause” clause, allowing the city to terminate the agreement.
