LAKEPORT – The Lakeport City Council will hear a proposal regarding tobacco retailers at its next meeting on Tuesday.

The meeting will begin at 6 p.m. in the council chambers at Lakeport City Hall, 225 Park St.

The short Tuesday agenda includes a presentation by local businessman Lowell Grant, who will propose an ordinance providing for the licensing of tobacco retailers.

There is no staff report outlining the particulars of the presentation by Grant, who earlier this year asked the Board of Supervisors to begin a discussion on consolidating the county's seven school districts.

The council also will issue a proclamation designating May as Motorcycle Awareness Month in the city of Lakeport; approve a multi-use application for Lakeport Regional Chamber of Commerce events; waive the city's hiring freeze to hire a temporary, part-time public works secretary to fill position for person on maternity leave; and approve contract change order No. 1 for the South Main Street Drainage

Project.

The council will hold a closed session to discuss public employee discipline, a conference with labor negotiators and consideration of the interim city manager position, and determine if the council wishes to review a decision of the Planning Commission relating to placement of a cell tower.
