LAKEPORT, Calif. – The Lakeport Police Department's two new sergeants will be sworn in at this week's Lakeport City Council meeting.

The meeting will begin at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 3, in the council chambers at Lakeport City Hall, 225 Park St.

Lakeport Police Chief Brad Rasmussen will administer the oath to his two new sergeants, law enforcement veterans Gary Basor and Mike Sobieraj.

For several months prior to their appointments, both Basor and Sobieraj have been filling the jobs on an acting basis.

Also on Tuesday's agenda, Finance Director Dan Buffalo will present to the council for approval a resolution of intention to reimburse certain general fund expenses, specifically, those related to the city's plans to acquire a new police headquarters at 2025 S. Main St., as Lake County News has reported: bit.ly/1tSr1YG .

“It is likely that financing for the Project will include the issuance of bonds, notes, certificates of participation, revenue bonds or other form of tax-exempt debt,” according to Buffalo's written report to the council.

“The City plans to begin spending money on the Project and is projecting that it will spend additional moneys on the Project prior to the issuance of the Debt Obligations. By adoption of the attached
Resolution, and upon issuance of the Debt Obligations, the City will be legally permitted to reimburse itself for all qualified preliminary expenditures related to the Project,” Buffalo reported.

In other business, staff will propose the council adopt a resolution to reaffirm the necessity of AB 1600 development impact fees.

On the meeting's consent agenda – items considered noncontroversial and usually accepted as a slate on one vote – are ordinances; the Jan. 20 warrant registers; minutes of the council's Jan. 20 meeting; and approval of the application for the Norcal Aircooled Group's annual Camp and Shine Volkswagen Car Show from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, June 20, with requested street closures on Park Street between First and Third Streets and Second Street between Main and Park Streets; and approval of the application for Clearlake Performing Arts Annual Home Wine and Beer Makers Festival in Library Park from 1 to 5 p.m. Saturday, June 27.
