LAKEPORT, Calif. – The Lakeport City Council will hold a special meeting this week to discuss the mid-year budget review and a proposed change in applications for federal funding for water projects.
The council will meet beginning at 5 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 22, in the council chambers at Lakeport City Hall, 225 Park St.
On the agenda is staff’s request for a change in the city’s application to the United States Department of Agriculture Rural Development for funding for proposed city water projects. The council also will consider authorizing staff to file for a notice of exemption under the California Environmental Quality Act.
Public Works Director Mark Brannigan’s report to the council notes that the USDA has approved the projects in the city’s application.
However, he’s concerned that a proposed water main loop project – which has been the source of disagreement between the city and county – may not be ready in a “reasonable” amount of time, and a delay could jeopardize the anticipated $1 million in grant funding the city is set to receive for the water system projects.
Instead, Brannigan is suggesting the council could authorize removing the water main loop from the application and replacing it with a project to restore the city’s water storage tanks.
On Tuesday city stall also will present the city’s comprehensive annual financial report for the fiscal year ending June 2012, as well as the mid-year budget review, covering the second quarter of fiscal year 2012-13.
The council also will discuss hiring a facilitator for the annual goals meeting.
