The meeting will begin at 6 p.m. in the council chambers at Clearlake City Hall, 14050 Olympic Drive. TV Channel 8 will broadcast the meeting live.
Among the major items for the evening meeting is consideration of a work plan the city is required to adopt by the California Integrated Waste Management Board's compliance order, lodged against the city for failing to recycling 50 percent of its trash stream, as Lake County News has reported.
A report from City Administrator Dale Neiman explains that the city must finish tasks including completing a work plan for how to meet the state's requirements. Failing to do so could result in fines of up to $10,000 a day.
Two of the state's most significant requirements are mandatory trash collection service for all residences and businesses and adoption of an ordinance requiring demolition construction projects to recycle salvageable materials, Neiman reported.
“The staff work associated with meeting the requirements in the compliance order will be significant,” said Neiman.
The first tasks the city has to complete are negotiating a new agreement with its franchise trash hauler, Waste Solutions; adopting an ordinance requiring mandatory trash collection; and adopting an ordinance that requires recycling for demolition projects.
In other business, the council will reconsider granting a loan to affordable housing developer Global Premier to help cover cost overruns. The loan would be for $700,000 at 3 percent interest, which would start accruing in the first year. Previously, the loan would not have begun to accrue interest until the 14th year, but council members asked the loan agreement to be renegotiated.
Neiman's report says he has been working with Global Premier to obtain 108 affordable housing covenants on its Adagio and Olympic Village projects, which would be part of the deal.
The council also will consider a request from the Zeier Family Trust to purchase their property at 14935 Ball Park Avenue for $1,332,000. An assessor's parcel detail on the 800-square-foot house on the city lot is valued at just over $43,000.
A letter to the city from Elizabeth Zeier says that the home is between two unbuildable lots and is directly across from Redbud Park's baseball diamond. When people park there they jam the street and make it unsafe for two-way traffic. “Liability is eminent and we are stressed to the limit,” she wrote.
Zeier said the home brings in $900 to $1,000 a week as a vacation rental, so they're asking for 360 equal payments of $3,700. Staff is suggesting the council reject the offer.
Other items on Thursday's agenda include Clear Lake Chamber of Commerce's quarterly report, which will be given by chamber president, Joey Luiz; consideration of a temporary street closure for Lakeshore Drive, from Golf Street to Olympic Drive, and Lakeshore Drive from Austin Road to Olympic Drive; and consideration of authorizing six police vehicles to surplus.
