LAKEPORT, Calif. – The Lakeport City Council will hold a special meeting next week to continue work on the city's final 2010-11 budget.

The special meeting and workshop will begin at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 30, in the council chambers at Lakeport City Hall, 225 Park St.

The council is working out the final details on a budget with about $14.6 million in expenditures and $12.8 million in revenue, as Lake County News has reported.

Some of that deficit situation is because of one-time projects and land purchases, according to City Manager Margaret Silveira, who is in her first budget process with the city after being hired this past spring.

If the council is able to finish discussing the document, a public hearing will be scheduled for the council's Dec. 7 meeting, Silveira said.

At the special Tuesday meeting, the council also will consider approval of a letter to the Board of Supervisors regarding fines for violation of the county’s quagga mussel ordinance.
