LAKEPORT, Calif. – The Lakeport City Council will meet this week to discuss a housing project parcel map and a resolution to begin abating properties where there is a fire hazard due to overgrown vegetation.

The council will meet in closed session at 5:45 p.m. Tuesday, June 19, to discuss a potential case of litigation regarding Verizon Wireless before the public portion of the meeting begins at 6 p.m. in the council chambers at Lakeport City Hall, 225 Park St.

On Tuesday the council is expected to approve the necessary resolutions to authorize and direct the issuance of bonds for a solar financing project.

In other business, Community Development Director Kevin Ingram will introduce the zone change ordinance for the Pacific West Communities parcel map for a multifamily housing project at 1255 Martin St. The council also will schedule a public hearing for a second reading of the zone change ordinance and adoption of a resolution for a general plan amendment and mitigated negative declaration based on the environmental review/initial study on July 17.
