At the start of the meeting, the council will present a proclamation honoring Compliance Officer Andrew Britton on his retirement after 35 years of service to the city of Lakeport.
On Tuesday’s agenda is the approval of the 2024-25 budget and the city’s annual appropriations limit.
City revenues for the coming fiscal year total nearly $18 million while expenditures top $30 million. Capital improvement projects make up the difference between income and expenditures, Assistant City Manager and Finance Director Nick Walker explained during a June 4 budget workshop.
Also on Tuesday, the council will consider approving the placement of the historic Lakeport Curfew/Hooligan Bell in Xabatin Park and acknowledging the Lakeport Rotary Club for its generous contribution in the project.
Public Works Director Ron Ladd’s report explained, “Over the past year, the Public Works Department has collaborated closely with the Lakeport Rotary Club to facilitate the placement of the historic Lakeport Curfew/Hooligan Bell in the newly finished Xabatin Park. The Rotary Club has generously agreed to fund the construction of a concrete pad and the installation of two
benches at the designated location within the park.”
Ladd said the bell is “a treasured piece of local history dating back to the early 1900s. It rang every night at 10 p.m. to alert children that it was time to return home. This bell is a symbol of the community's past and a testament to Lakeport's rich heritage. Preserving and displaying the bell in Xabatin Park will allow current and future generations to connect with a tangible piece of the City’s history.”
The bell is proposed to be placed in a prominent location next to the parking area.
Under council business, council members will be asked to adopt a resolution adopting the Project Study Report-Project Development Support for the SR-29 and Lakeport Interchange Improvement Project.
