LAKEPORT, Calif. – The Lakeport City Council will discuss matters related to the city's plans for annexing an area along South Main Street/Soda Bay Road when it meets this week.

The council will meet Tuesday, April 17, in the council chambers at Lakeport City Hall, 225 Park St.

A special budget priority setting workshop will convene at 5 p.m. before the regular meeting begins at 6 p.m. The agenda packet can be seen below.

City Manager Margaret Silveira will make a presentation to the council on the proposed annexation.

The annexation would cover 197 acres in south Lakeport, running along South Main Street and Soda Bay Road.

That corridor – largely commercial – is one of the most lucrative for sales tax generation in the county, and the city's proposal to add the area to its limits has strained tensions between the county and city in recent months.

Also on Tuesday's agenda, Community Development Director Richard Knoll will take to the council a staff report regarding the city providing water services outside the city limits.

In other business, Phil Dow will make a presentation regarding the Lakeport Pavement Management Program, the council will appoint two members to serve on the Lakeport Solid Waste Advisory Committee and will get an update on the meetings for the oversight board for the city's former redevelopment agency.

The council also will hold a closed session to discuss a case of pending litigation, Operating Engineers Local Union No. 3 and Lakeport Police Officers Association v. City of Lakeport, Lakeport City Council (Lake County Superior Court Case No. CV410232); and negotiations with the Lakeport Police Officers Association.
