The meeting will begin at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 22, in the council chambers at Lakeport City Hall, 225 Park St.
The special meeting was called after last week’s meeting was canceled due to lack of a quorum.
On the agenda is a request from Police Chief Brad Rasmusen to purchase a general police patrol vehicle and a police K9 vehicle for an amount not to exceed $108,854.
Rasmussen’s report to the council explains that this fiscal year’s budget authorizes spending of up to $71,000 in general fund money and up to $37,854 in United States Department of Agriculture grant funds – awarded to the city for a police dog program – to purchase a K9 vehicle and a general patrol vehicle.
Also on Tuesday, Community Development Director Kevin Ingram will ask for authorization to enter into a professional service agreement with De Novo Planning Group for the completion of the city’s sixth cycle housing element update. The proposed contract amount is $33,240.
In other business, Administrative Services Director-City Clerk Kelly Buendia will present a resolution that seeks to establish an ad hoc selection advisory committee for the selection of the members of city committees and commissions with terms expiring in 2019. The ad hoc committee is to be comprised of two city council members.
Buendia’s report said there currently are several appointments that need to be made, including one vacancy on the Lakeport Planning Commission, three expiring seats on the Parks
and Recreation Commission, three expiring seats on the Lakeport Economic Development Advisory Committee, and a recommendation to the Lake County Board of Supervisors for one city resident to be appointed to the Lakeport Fire Protection District Board of Directors.
On the consent agenda – items considered noncontroversial and usually accepted as a slate on one vote – are ordinances; minutes of the regular council meeting on Oct. 1; confirmation of the continuing existence of a local emergency for the Mendocino Complex fire; confirmation of the continuing existence of a local emergency for the February 2019 storms; approval of application 2019-027, with staff recommendations, for the 2019 Halloween Costume Parade on Oct. 31; approval of application 2020-001, with staff recommendations, for the 2020 Home Wine and Beer Makers Festival in Library Park; and approval of the Lakeport Hazard Mitigation Plan.
