CLEARLAKE – The Clearlake City Council's brief Thursday agenda includes honors for local heroes, an incident management plan and a nuisance abatement case.

The public meeting will begin at 6 p.m. Thursday at Clearlake City Hall, 14050 Olympic Drive, and will be broadcast live on TV Channel 8.

A closed session to discuss negotiations with Katz Kirkpatrick Properties regarding the city's 26-acre business park will begin at 5:30 p.m.

The council will give a proclamation to city residents Barbara Spiker and Doug Harris to recognize a recent act of heroism.

On Aug. 7, Spiker discovered her mother, Rose Weaver, was unconscious with her airway obstructed. Spiker ran across the street to her neighbor Harris' house to ask for help.

Together, they cleared Weaver's airway using a turkey baster to suction her throat. When paramedics arrived they determined Weaver had suffered a stroke.

Joan Moore also will be honored with a proclamation for her work at the city's youth center.

Under council business, the council will consider adopting the National Incident Management System. A staff report to the council from City Administrator Dale Neiman explains that the system is a result of a Homeland Security presidential directive for managing domestic incidents. The directive led to the development of a template to help state, local and federal officials work together to deal with everything from natural disasters to terrorist acts.

Adopting the resolution to accept the plan will make the city eligible for federal emergency preparedness, response and recovery, Neiman reported. The city doesn't yet have its own plan, but Neiman included a copy of Lake County Fire Protection District's plan for the council to consider.

Also on Thursday's agenda is a nuisance abatement case against a property at 13405 Lakeshore Drive

A Code Enforcement report said the division has attempted to contact the property's owner since May 29, without success. The property's dilapidated structure has been red-tagged and the $100-per-day violation penalties have maxed out at $2,500.

The council will consider abating the structure and charging a lien against the property.
