CLEARLAKE, Calif. – The Clearlake City Council will elect a new mayor and vice mayor when it meets Thursday.

The meeting will begin at 6 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 8, in the council chambers at Clearlake City Hall, 14050 Olympic Drive. TV8 will broadcast the meeting live.

Joyce Overton and Joey Luiz have served as mayor and vice mayor, respectively, in 2011, and the council will choose new leadership to succeed them at its first December meeting.

Overton and Luiz also are scheduled to make presentations at the Thursday night meeting. Traditionally, the outgoing mayor and vice mayor offer recognition and thanks to council members and staff at the end of their one-year terms.

The remainder of the evening’s business will be brief.

Two action items are planned, the first, to consider adoption and resolutions authorizing the city’s participation in the Lake County Energy & Water Efficiency Program.

The council also will consider funding for debt service for the Clearlake Redevelopment Agency’s Series A Bonds.
