The council will meet beginning at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 18, in the council chambers at Lakeport City Hall, 225 Park St.
Under council business, the council will hold a public hearing to consider approval of a resolution to update the city’s schedule of parking fines, fees, penalties and surcharges.
Police Chief Brad Rasmussen’s report to the council on the proposed resolution said that the parking fee schedule was last updated in 2009 when then-Police Chief Burke brought the
parking changes before the City Council.
“Since that time there have been further increases in monies owed to both the County of Lake and the State of California depending on the parking violation cited. In addition, neighboring jurisdictions have also updated their fees to keep up with the increase in cost associated with managing and fees associated with parking citation programs. Parking complaints especially in the downtown continue to be a problem even with renewed enforcement and social
media releases urging citizen compliance,” Rasmussen’s report said.
Rasmussen also will give the council the report on police statistics for 2019.
In other business, Lakeport Finance Director Nick Walker will bring to the council the second quarter financial update and midyear budget review for fiscal year 2019-20.
Walker’s report said staff is seeking an appropriation’s increase of $270,345.
Also at Tuesday’s meeting, the council will receive the annual update from the Lake County Tourist Improvement District and a presentation from Karl Parker, mobility programs manager for Lake Links.
