CLEARLAKE, Calif. – The Clearlake City Council will hold a special meeting Thursday evening for the purpose of interviewing candidates for open seats on the city’s planning commission.
The meeting will take place beginning at 6 p.m. Thursday, March 21, in the council chambers at Clearlake City Hall, 14050 Olympic Drive.
Three seats are currently open on the Clearlake Planning Commission.
One seat is vacant after Gina Fortino Dickson was elected to the city council last fall.
The other two seats coming open currently are held by Bill Perkins and Carl Webb, who are seeking reappointment.
The special meeting was needed because in addition to Perkins and Webb there are nine other city residents seeking the seats, according to city officials.
Applicants include Robert Coker, Cheryl Hutchinson, Charles O’Neill Jones, William Morgan, Karen Priest, Bruno Sabatier, Dirk Slooten, Jason Tapia and Michael Vandiver, according to City Manager Joan Phillipe’s report to the council.
At the March 14 council meeting, when the special meeting was determined necessary, it was anticipated that the council members will require several hours at Thursday’s meeting to interview all 11 candidates, deliberate and vote on their selections.
