The discussion will be on the agenda when the council meets at 6 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 22, in the council chambers at Clearlake City Hall, 14050 Olympic Drive.
Wal-Mart has applied to the city to expand its current store on Dam Road Extension by 40,000 square feet in order to add a grocery section, as Lake County News has reported.
City Administrator Dale Neiman's report to the council for Thursday's meeting explains that the city is requiring Wal-Mart to conduct a full environmental impact report on the proposed expansion because of the potential for urban decay and traffic impacts.
He is suggesting the city approve the proposal to conduct the report from Environmental Science Associates. Separately, Neiman is suggesting the council approve hiring Keyser Marston to evaluate the urban decay analysis.
Also during the meeting, the council will honor the city's volunteers with certificates of appreciation and present a proclamation for Red Ribbon Week to Harriet Rogers, safe schools coordinator for the Konocti Unified School District.
Other items on the agenda include a request to waive nuisance abatement fees, a public hearing on confirming assessment on nuisance abatement cases, homebuyer guidelines for the HOME Investment Partnerships Program, and a policy concerning waiving rental fees for parks and the Highlands Senior Center.
