LAKEPORT, Calif. – The Lakeport City Council this week will consider awarding a waterline construction project and discuss a location change for a proposed equestrian park.

The council will meet beginning at 6 p.m. Tuesday, May 2, in the council chambers at Lakeport City Hall, 225 Park St.

On Tuesday, all of the city staff who participated in the yearlong Downtown Improvement Project, Phase II will be recognized.

The council also will present a proclamation designating May 14 to 20 as Police Week and publicly saluting the service of law enforcement officers in the local community and in communities across the nation.

Under council business, the council will consider the appeal by Napa Auto of the Lakeport Planning Commission’s decision to require the removal of the cargo container at the business, located at 1015 S. Main St.

Public Works Director Doug Grider will take to the council the award for a $393,068 construction contract to Green Right O’Way Constructors Inc. for the Giselman Street Waterline Replacement Project.

Grider also will ask for the council’s authorization of nonprofit vending and concessions including a concession stand on Phase II of Westside Park.

On Tuesday the council also will consider a request from the Westside Community Park Committee and several local equestrian groups to relocate the proposed equestrian park from the park’s Phase III area to the City of Lakeport Municipal Sewer District property located next to Highway 175. Grider’s report said the location change is requested because the original site is not large enough.

On the meeting's consent agenda – items considered noncontroversial and usually accepted as a slate on one vote – are ordinances; the minutes for the regular council meeting of April 18; the warrant register of April 24; approval of Application 2017-019, with staff recommendations, for the Westside Community Park Committee’s 5K Fun Walk/Run on May 28; acceptance of the construction of the Lakeport Police Department Acquisition and Improvement Project, and authorize the city manager to file a notice of completion; adoption of a resolution accepting the Lakeport Downtown Improvement Project, Phase II, Bid 16-01, as complete, and authorize the city manager to file a notice of completion.
