CLEARLAKE, Calif. – This week the Clearlake Planning Commission will hear the latest on a city park project, honor a retiring commissioner and select the leadership for this year.

The commission will meet beginning at 6 p.m. Tuesday, March 15, in the council chambers at Clearlake City Hall, 14050 Olympic Drive.

On the agenda is an update on the Highlands Park project. Last year, the city began the process of initiating a master plan for the park, located on Lakeshore Drive.

Also on Tuesday, the commission will honor Bill Perkins, who is retiring from the commission, for his years of service to the city.

Earlier this year, he announced he intended to leave the seat he has held since March of 2005, as Lake County News has reported.

In other business, the commission will appoint its chair and vice chair for this year.

Carl Webb currently chairs the commission, with Cheryl Hutchinson the vice chair. Other commission members are Nathalie Antus and Dirk Slooten.
