CLEARLAKE, Calif. – The Clearlake City Council this week will discuss extending a temporary moratorium on building projects on Lakeshore Drive while design guidelines for the corridor continue to be developed.
The council will meet at 5:30 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 24, in the council chambers at Clearlake City Hall, 14050 Olympic Drive, for a closed session to discuss a liability claim filed against the city by Franklin Patty before convening in open session at 6 p.m.
Among its business items, the council will consider extending for three months a temporary ordinance on construction projects and major remodels on Lakeside Drive between Olympic Drive and Old Highway 53.
In July the council approved the urgency ordinance for an initial three months for the purpose of establishing cohesive design standards on the design corridor, as Lake County News has reported.
The city's planning commission is continuing to refine design guideline recommendations it will make to the council, based on a proposal made by the Clearlake Vision Task Force in 2008. The task force guidelines were not formally accepted by the city previously.
Also on Thursday, the council is set to adopt the Americans with Disabilities Act self-evaluation and transition plan, which it's required by federal law to develop and adopt since it receives federal funds through Caltrans for street maintenance and improvement projects.
Thanks to a grant from the Lake County/City Area Planning Council, the city received a grant to hire Moore Iacofano and Goltsman in August 2012 to complete the 150-page plan, which cost $19,675, according to City Engineer Bob Galusha's report to the council.
In other business, the council will consider terminating the contract with Pun and McGeady for auditing services and authorize City Manager Joan Phillipe to enter into a contract with Terry Krieg, CPA.
Items on the consent agenda – considered to be noncontroversial and accepted as a slate with one vote – include warrant registers; the Oct. 10 meeting minutes; quarterly reports from the Clearlake Police Department, as well as the public works, engineering, city clerk and finance departments; Resolution No. 2013-18, declaring surplus property; and consideration of canceling the Nov. 28 and Dec. 26 meetings.
