CLEARLAKE, Calif. – The Clearlake City Council is set to discuss a request to lease another building to Lake County Youth Services and hold a public hearing on a grant application.

The council will meet at 5:30 p.m. Thursday, April 10, in the council chambers at Clearlake City Hall, 14050 Olympic Drive, for a closed session discussion on employee discipline, dismissal and release before convening for open session at 6 p.m.

Lake County Youth Services is asking to use a city-owned property located next to the youth center on Golf Avenue. It also will ask for a possible monetary contribution from the city for renovating the building, which at one time had been the senior center.

City Manager Joan Phillipe's report to the council offered an estimate of repairs ranging between $50,000 and $80,000, including contractor costs.

The organization also is asking for an amendment to its lease agreement to provide for no-cost use of the Clearlake Senior Community Center for fundraisers as well as the ability to rent the youth center building for events that are not youth-oriented.

The council on Thursday also will hold a public hearing to consider a resolution approving the application and execution of a grant agreement and amendments to the 2014 allocation of the state Community Development Block Grant program.

There will be a discussion of the town hall meeting set for 10 a.m. to noon this Saturday at the Clearlake Community Senior Center, 3245 Bowers Ave., where the council will take input on whether to move forward with another effort to pass a sales tax measure.

Also on Thursday, the council will present proclamations declaring April as Safe Digging Month and recognizing April 6 through 12 as National Volunteer Week.

Items on the consent agenda – considered to be noncontroversial and accepted as a slate with one vote – include warrant registers; receipt of the administrative policy regarding the lowering of flags on city property; and receipt of North Coast Opportunities Inc. Head Start Child Development Program 2012-13 Annual Report.
