CLEARLAKE, Calif. – With one of its members having announced her plans to resign, the Clearlake City Council this week will discuss options for filling the soon-to-be-vacant seat.
The council will meet in closed session at 5:30 p.m. to discuss labor negotiations before the public portion of the meeting begins at 6 p.m. Thursday, March 24, in the council chambers at Clearlake City Hall, 14050 Olympic Drive.
At the March 10 meeting, Councilwoman Denise Loustalot announced that she was resigning her seat because her family had just purchased a home outside the city limits.
She said her resignation would take effect March 25. Her term is set to expire in December.
The council will discuss options for filling the seat, which could include an appointment or a special election.
Also on Tuesday, the council will hold interviews of applicants for a vacant seat on the Clearlake Planning Commission.
In February, Commissioner Bill Perkins announced his resignation after a decade on the commission. His term ends next March.
The council will consider two applicants, Russell Cremer and Peter Shandera.
In other business, the council will hold a public hearing for the granting of an updated franchise to Golden State Water Co., review real estate owned by the city and the former redevelopment agency, accept the final master plan for Highlands Park, and hold a first hearing of an ordinance which will reinstate administrative items and building permits within the area served by the Southeast Wastewater System.
Also on the agenda is a presentation to former Planning Commissioner Bill Perkins; presentation of proclamations declaring April Sexual Assault Awareness Month and Child Abuse Prevention Month; and the presentation of the Lake County Economic Profile Report.
On the meeting's consent agenda – items considered noncontroversial and usually accepted as a slate on one vote – are warrant registers; the first amendment to the Clearlake marketing agreement with the county of Lake; the first amendment to the agreement between the Public, Educational, Governmental (or PEG) cable access television station and the cities of Clearlake and Lakeport, and the county of Lake; and the general plan update for the additional parks expansion component.
