LAKEPORT, Calif. – The Lakeport City Council will wrap up 2016 with a swearing-in ceremony for its new council members and make appointments to city committees and commissions.
The council will meet for a closed session at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 20, to discuss anticipated litigation with Verizon Wireless before meeting in open session at 6 p.m. in the council chambers at Lakeport City Hall, 225 Park St.
City Clerk Kelly Buendia will present to the council the certification of the final Nov. 8 election results, with the council to adopt a resolution accepting those results.
Mayor Pro Tem Stacey Mattina will then make a presentation to outgoing members Marc Spillman and Martin Scheel.
Following that presentation, new council members will be sworn in. Tim Barnes and George Spurr won their first terms on the council in November, with Kenny Parlet reelected to a second term.
After the swearing-in, there will be a brief recess for a reception in honor of the outgoing and incoming councils before business resumes and the council nominates and elects its mayor and mayor pro tem for 2017.
Also on Tuesday, the Lake County Main Street Association will present the winners of its annual holiday lighting decorations contest as well as the Taste of Lake County People’s Choice Awards.
In council business, the council will consider making three appointments to the Lakeport Planning Commission.
