LAKEPORT – The Lakeport City Council will hold a special meeting on Wednesday afternoon to work on finalizing the Vista Point Shopping Center sale.

In August, the City Council began negotiations for the sale of the center, located on Lakeport Boulevard near Highway 29, with Matt Riveras, 43, a Windsor developer who is the son-in-law of City Councilman Buzz Bruns.

The sale is for the land underneath the center. Meridian Investments of Oakland holds the lease on the center's buildings.

In a closed session following its Sept. 18 meeting, the council decided to sell the shopping center to Riveras, who offered the city $1,001,000 for the property.

The special meeting scheduled for Wednesday afternoon is to adopt Resolution No. 2307 (2007), authorizing the shopping center sale and authorizing Mayor Roy Parmentier to execute escrow documents.

As part of the meeting, the council also will approve assignment of Vista Point ground lease to Riveras and Donica LLC.

The meeting will take place at 4 p.m. in the council chambers conference room at Lakeport City Hall, Lakeport City Hall, 225 Park St.
