The meeting on Tuesday will start with a presentation by the organizers of the 1 Mile Fun Run & 5K Fundraiser benefiting unhoused canines. The event will take place on Saturday, May 17 at 2945 Reeves Lane with pre-run festivities at 9 a.m. The actual run starts at 9:30 a.m.
In council business, the council will hold a public hearing to adopt a resolution approving the final parcel map for the Parkside Subdivision project, located next to Westside Community Park.
In June of 2023, the city approved a tentative parcel map that would divide the 15.26-acre property at 1310 Craig Ave. into four separate residential parcels.
According to the staff report, the final map was reviewed by an external consulting surveyor, the City Engineer and the Community Development Department, all of whom found that “all conditions and requirements of approval applicable to the tentative parcel map have been satisfied.”
However, the project has long faced fierce opposition from neighbors over the lack of roads going in and out of the area, which already has traffic congestion during events.
In September 2024, the developer promised to build a full-access bridge. However, the current plan turns out to only include an emergency vehicle access bridge, according to City Manger Kevin Ingram.
The new fire hazard severity zone map released by Cal Fire in February added over 600 acres in the city and the site of the Parkside project falls into the highest hazard zone.
The public hearing for the Parkside final parcel map was originally listed as an item on the agenda for the previous council meeting on Apr. 1.
However, with the absence of Councilmember Kenny Parlet, and because councilmembers Christina Price and Kim Costa had to recuse themselves, there was not a quorum to consider the item with the remaining two councilmembers. Therefore, the council approved rescheduling it to this Tuesday.
Public comment on this matter, however, was allowed during the April 1 meeting. Former Lakeport Mayor Michael Froio asked during public comment: “Is it true that the bridge was removed for an emergency evacuation bridge?”
“This time generally you present your questions and your comments, but we don’t necessarily provide responses at this time,” Assistant City Attorney Mackenzie Anderson replied, deferring the answers to the next meeting.
Also in council business is an update on the Tenth Street Pedestrian Improvement Project by Public Works Director Ron Ladd.
The sidewalk improvement project received eight bids on Apr. 2, with the lowest bid at $29,426 from AGD Engineering, according to the staff report. The project is tentatively scheduled to start in May and to be completed “within a 15 working day schedule.”
The city manager will also receive an update on the city departments’ accomplishments and progress for the past year.
On the consent agenda — items considered noncontroversial and usually accepted as a slate on one vote — are ordinances; minutes of the previous meeting on April 1; approval of warrant register of Apr. 3; approval of application 2025-019, with staff recommendations, for the 2025 Memorial Day Parade; approval of application 2025-022, with staff recommendations, for the Soper Reese Groundbreaking; approval of application 2025-023, with staff recommendations, for the 2025 Farmers’ Market in Library Park.
