CLEARLAKE, Calif. – The Clearlake City Council this week will discuss a city program income reuse plan and an update to a November ballot measure, and get a report from the city's senior center.

The council will meet at 5 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 11, for a closed session to discuss public employee discipline, dismissal and release before the open portion of the meeting begins at 6 p.m. in the council chambers at Clearlake City Hall, 14050 Olympic Drive.

At the start of Thursday's meeting there will be a presentation of donations from the Lakeshore Lions Club to the Clearlake Police Department for body cameras along with the presentation of a proclamation declaring September Childhood Cancer Awareness Month.

In council business, council members will consider updating the city's program income reuse plan and hold a public hearing on the matter.

The city has to hold the hearing and discussion in order to comply with federal and state rules for jurisdictions with Community Development Block Grant funds. Jurisdictions like Clearlake must have program reuse plans in place regarding how the funds are to be deposited.

The grant funds are commonly used for activities like housing and economic development.

The council also will consider a resolution adopting nonsubstantive changes to the previously approved ballot measure going before voters in November, Measure R. The half-percent sales tax would go toward citywide cleanup and improvement.

Council members also will get a biannual presentation from Highlands Senior Service Center Executive Director Linda Burton.

Items on the consent agenda – considered to be noncontroversial and accepted as a slate with one vote – include warrant registers, council members' request for information and a preliminary report of operations for fiscal year ending 2014.
