How to resolve AdBlock issue? The nomination periods for the Lakeport and Clearlake city councils opened early in July, with three seats on each up for election on Nov. 3, as Lake County News has reported.
The filing deadline for the councils was at 5 p.m. Friday, but has now been extended to 5 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 12, for nonincumbents, city officials reported.
In Clearlake, the seats up for election are currently held by Phil Harris, Joyce Overton and Russell Perdock.
City Manager Alan Flora told Lake County News that both Overton and Perdock have filed the necessary paperwork by the Friday deadline to seek reelection. Harris previously had indicated he was not seeking reelection and so didn’t file.
“Three new candidates have pulled papers but none have been submitted,” Flora said.
Candidates are asked to contact the Clearlake Administrative Services/City Clerk’s Office at 707-994-8201, Extension 106, or via email at
In Lakeport, the seats which will be up for election in November currently are held by Tim Barnes, Kenny Parlet and George Spurr.
Administrative Services Director/City Clerk Kelly Buendia said the extension resulted from Spurr, currently the mayor and in his first term, not filing to run again.
Buendia told Lake County News that both Barnes and Parlet have filed to run for reelection.
She said nomination papers must be issued by the City Clerk’s Office and are available by appointment beginning Monday, Aug. 10. All filings must be submitted to the city clerk no later than 5 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 12.
Each candidate must be nominated by not less than 20 nor more than 30 registered voters; therefore, Buendia recommends that candidates pick up nomination papers in advance of Wednesday’s 5 p.m. deadline to allow time to gather signatures and fill out the required paperwork.
Those interested in running for Lakeport City Council should contact Buendia at 707-263-5615, Extension 101, for further information and to set up an appointment to go over the nomination packet.
