The meeting will begin at 6 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 10, in the council chambers at Clearlake City Hall, 14050 Olympic Drive.
City Clerk Melissa Swanson will take to the council a proposed memorandum of understanding with Konocti Unified School District for a school resource officer.
Konocti Unified has asked the Clearlake Police Department for the officer to promote safety on district campuses, Swanson reported.
The school district board approved the proposed memorandum of understanding at its Nov. 2 meeting, with Superintendent Dr. Bill MacDougall signing it the following day, according to the agenda packet.
While the officer will remain a city employee, the district has agreed to pay for the officer's salary, benefits and training up to $60,000 for the remaining 2011-12 school year, Swanson reported.
Another Thursday agenda item is a proposed contract, not to exceed $5,000, with Don Fraser and Associates to conduct a feasibility analysis on the Clearlake Redevelopment Agency's required payment to the state government, resulting from legislation passed over the summer.
The California Supreme Court is scheduled on Thursday to hear oral arguments in a lawsuit filed against the state over the legislation. If the court does not find for redevelopment agencies, the city would have to make a first year's payment of $974,000, with $244,000 annual payments for the following years.
Interim City Administrator Joan Phillipe said she and Sandra Sato, the city's interim finance manager, want more information about how those payments might impact the city, and so are requesting the analysis.
In other business, the council will consider proposed changes to the lease with North Coast Opportunities for the city-owned property locate at 4700 Golf Ave.; decide on whether to cancel or reschedule the Nov. 24 regular meeting; and hold a discussion to identify the council's issues and concerns on code enforcement so Phillipe – who joined the staff late last month – can provide them with “reasoned recommendations” going forward.
Also on Thursday, the council will present certificates of appreciation to supporters of the city's annual trick or treat party.
Phillipe is asking that the council continue a planned public hearing on an ordinance that would establish a 1-percent pass-through to support the public access channel, TV8, to allow her more time to research the plan.
