The meeting will begin at 6 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 14, in the council chambers at Clearlake City Hall, 14050 Olympic Drive.
Last November, the council voted to approve a 45-day temporary moratorium on establishing new medical marijuana dispensaries following a lengthy and heated discussion, as Lake County News has reported. The following month, the council voted to extend the moratorium for 10 months and 15 days.
The city is now proposing to extend that moratorium again, and is planning a public hearing on the matter at Thursday's meeting.
In September, the Board of Supervisors extended a similar moratorium covering the entire county. In an initial draft of the document county staff had cited concerns over possible changes in law – specifically, Proposition 19 on the November ballot – that could affect the effort to deal with regulating local medical marijuana establishments.
Both city and county staffs have spent considerable time attempting to work out zoning rules for dispensaries and collectives.
On Thursday the council also will consider a discussion held over from a previous meeting regarding providing matching funds to rebuild Redbud Park's courtesy pier.
In other news, the council will consider budget amendments to the 2009-10 fiscal year budget. The city hasn't accepted a 2010-11 budget yet, with the council expected to convene for a budget session on Tuesday.
Also on the agenda are two proclamations.
The Rotary Club of Clearlake will receive a proclamation designating Oct. 24 as World Polio Day. The council will then present a proclamation to Lake Family Resource Center designating October as Domestic Violence Awareness Month.
Barbara Grier also will make a presentation to the council on the “Safe Halloween for Clearlake Kids.”
