How to resolve AdBlock issue? The council will meet in closed session at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, April 16, to discuss labor negotiations and property at 810 Main St. before the open session convenes at 6 p.m.
On the agenda, Lakeport Police Chief Brad Rasmussen will present to the council the police statistics report for the first quarter of 2019.
Rasmussen also will ask the council to offer support for SB 230 and oppose AB 392, including approving a resolution and directing the mayor to sign a letter to be sent to appropriate members of the California Assembly and Senate.
According to Rasmussen’s report, SB 230 (Caballero), “is a comprehensive measure focused on building upon existing efforts to improve outcomes during law enforcement officers’ involvement in serious use of force incidents, while SB 392 (Weber) “mandates an in-hindsight standard be used to hold officers criminally liable for using force when responding to life-or-death situations.”
Also on Tuesday, Community Development Director Kevin Ingram will present to the council the agreement providing for implementation and maintenance of the Lake County Clean Water Program.
Ingram is seeking the agreement’s approval and the appointment of one council member as the designated city representative and one as an alternate to the program management council.
