The Clearlake City Council met in closed session before their regular meeting on Thursday, July 28, to discuss the hiring process, with an open session item in place to cover a contract.
However, when they emerged from closed session, there was no hire to report, and the contract item wasn't discussed as a result, according to City Clerk Melissa Swanson.
Swanson told Lake County News that the council is continuing negotiations and interviews with city administrator candidates.
Another scheduled business item, a franchise agreement with Clearlake Waste Solutions, was pulled from the agenda. Swanson said that item will be brought back on Aug. 11.
The only other item of business was a letter to Assemblyman Wes Chesbro and state Sen. Noreen Evans which Mayor Joyce Overton had taken to the council for approval.
The letter, which is being sent by a number of Redwood Empire area mayors and officials, expresses disappointment with the votes both Chesbro and Evans made to eliminate redevelopment in June.
The council approved the letter, with the addition of a paragraph specifically about Clearlake, Swanson said.
