LAKEPORT, Calif. – The Lakeport City Council this week will discuss a consumer price index-based increase for the city’s solid waste contractor.
The council will meet beginning at 6 p.m. Tuesday, March 19, in the council chambers at Lakeport City Hall, 225 Park St.
Public Works Director Mark Brannigan will take to the council the proposed CPI for residential solid waste services, including garbage, green waste and recycling, provided by Lakeport Disposal, which has had the city’s franchise hauling contract since January 2004.
Brannigan’s report to the council explains that the contract indicates that on Jan. 1 of each year, Lakeport Disposal will receive a rate adjustment equal to 75 percent of the percentage change from the previous year in the US Department of Labor Bureau of Statistics Consumer Price Index for the San Francisco, Oakland, San Jose area.
He said Lakeport Disposal is requesting the contractually agreed upon annual inflationary rate increase, which would total 2.78 percent for this calendar year.
On the council’s consent agenda, items usually accepted as a slate with one vote, are ordinances, warrants and minutes from the March 5 meeting, the building permit report for February and a letter to Congress opposing elimination of tax-exempt bonds.
Also on the consent agenda are applications for the Nor Cal Aircooled Group for a VW Car Show on Saturday, June 15; Corvettes of Lake County for a Corvettes Car Show on Sunday, May 26; Lakeport Main Street Association for the arts and crafts fair on Thursday, July 4, Taste of Lakeport on Saturday, Aug. 24, and Shipwreck Day on Saturday, Sept. 21; Rotary Club of Lakeport for the Konocti Challenge Bicycle Ride on Saturday, Oct. 5; Lake County Office of Education Children’s Council to hold and advocacy walk and children’s festival on Saturday, April 13; and Center for Life Choices walk for life on Saturday, April 27.
