LAKEPORT, Calif. – The Lakeport City Council will hold a special Tuesday meeting during which council members will present a commendation to a police officer, discuss bridge loan financing for water improvements and consider transferring a mobile home's ownership.
The council will meet for a closed session beginning at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, July 23, in the council chambers at Lakeport City Hall, 225 Park St. Council members will discuss property negotiations for 1025 Martin St., space 6.
The public portion of the meeting will begin at 6 p.m.
On Tuesday evening the council will honor Lakeport Police Office Stephanie Green, who on July 9 responded to a report of a drowning at the Regency Inn swimming pool.
Green went into the pool and pulled 32-year-old Shaun Rudd to the surface, where Lakeport Fire personnel pulled him from the water and worked to revive him.
Rudd was flown to Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital. He never regained consciousness and died July 11.
Other agenda items include the Lakeport Main Street Association's application for “Shipwreck Day” event in Library Park in Sept. 23 and consideration of options for bridge financing for a US Department of Agriculture loan the city received for its water system.
The council also will consider adopting a resolution ratifying and approving the transfer of the mobile home located at 1400 S. Main St., Unit 12B, to an income-qualified disabled individual.
Also on the agenda, the council – based on the advice of the interim city attorney and Redwood Empire Municipal Insurance Fund – is expected to reject a claim filed against the city by Jessica King.
On Jan. 29 King was crossing the street at S. Main Street and Lupoyoma Heights when she was struck by a vehicle driven by Sarah Schultz, according to her complaint. The impact was so hard that her shoes reportedly landed 50 feet away.
Her claim faults the city for safety issues at the intersection. She is seeking more than $10,000, but no specific amount has yet been set.
