CLEARLAKE, Calif. – The Clearlake City Council is set to get an update on how much the city has spent on streets over the past decade and finalize its selection of a new city seal.
The council will meet for a closed session at 5:30 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 11, to discuss a performance evaluation of City Manager Greg Folsom before the public portion of the meeting begins at 6 p.m. in the council chambers at Clearlake City Hall, 14050 Olympic Drive.
Finance Director Chris Becnel's report on street funding looks at the years from 2006 to 2016.
In his report, Becnel said that during that time there have been more than $14.4 million in expenditures on Clearlake roads, with funds coming from grants, federal and state allocations, and the city's general fund.
“Despite our limited monetary resources and limited personnel, Clearlake over the past 10 years has allocated substantial resources from a wide array of source toward the roads in Clearlake,” he said. “Much more needs to be done.”
The city plans to put a 1-cent sales tax measure, Measure V, before voters this November in hopes of raising $1.6 million annually to improve road and street conditions.
In other business, the council will consider the new city seal. The city received 20 submissions in its logo contest. The council held a previous discussion, asked for some updates and will consider the final product on Thursday.
In other business, the council will discuss updating police vehicle markings and review the Community Assistance Loan Program.
On the meeting's consent agenda – items considered noncontroversial and usually accepted as a slate on one vote – are warrant registers; memoranda of understanding with the Clearlake Municipal Employees Association, Clearlake Police Officers Association and Clearlake Middle Management Association; an amendment to a contract with Coastland Civil; and authorization for the mayor to sign a lease termination agreement that was part of financing the city's senior/community center.
