On Thursday, the council will consider rescinding actions related to the 18th Avenue Road and Hotel Development Project in response to court rulings at the state level.
On Dec. 13, 2022, the Clearlake Planning Commission approved environmental review and project entitlements for construction of the 18th Avenue Road Project and development of a hotel, City Manager Alan Flora’s report to the council explained.
He said the Koi Nation of Northern California appealed the project approvals to the City Council, with the council rejecting the appeal.
The Koi Nation then filed a writ of mandate with the Lake County Superior Court. On Dec. 22, 2023, the local court denied the Koi’s request, with the tribe then filing an appeal with the State Appellate Court, which ultimately ordered the city to set aside the project approvals and environmental review, Flora said.
“The attached resolution takes the action ordered by the Court,” Flora’s report explained.
The council also is scheduled to hold a public hearing to discuss and consider changes to the Fiscal Year 2025-26 Fee Schedule.
Under business, the council will discuss and consider the city of Clearlake joining Sonoma Clean Power. The council met with the Lakeport City Council and the Board of Supervisors in a special meeting on Tuesday evening to discuss the proposal.
Also on the agenda are October's adoptable dogs, a proclamation declaring October 2025 as Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and presentations by Police Chief Tim Hobbs of an employee commendation and certificates of appreciation to the Clearlake Summer Concert and Movie Night Sponsors.
On the meeting’s consent agenda — items that are considered routine in nature and usually adopted on a single vote — are warrants; minutes; the continuation of the director of emergency services/city manager proclamation declaring a local emergency for winter storms; continuation of the director of emergency services/city manager proclamation declaring a local emergency for the Boyles fire; and approval of Resolution number 2025-37 approving the road closure on Oct. 31 for the Trunk or Treat Event.
