If passed, the second reading and adoption would be scheduled for the council’s next meeting.

The council also will discuss and consider updates to the city’s 2025 strategic plan goals, priorities and action plan.

City Manager Alan Flora’s report to the council explained that the council held a special retreat meeting on Aug. 6 to work on the plan, and set new goals and priorities. That was followed by a workshop during the council’s Sept. 18 meeting at which time council members reviewed the updated goals and priorities. 

Flora said the city’s leadership team met to “round out an action plan to achieve the Council’s goals and priorities” on Nov. 14.

The plan’s main objectives are economic development, public facilities and infrastructure that supports the future Clearlake, celebrating Clearlake, ensuring a clean city, ensuring Clearlake is fiscally sustainable and that it’s a safe city.

The council on Thursday also will present a proclamation declaring Dec. 18 as National Persons
Experiencing Homelessness Memorial Day.

The council also will hold a closed session for a performance evaluation of City Manager Alan Flora.
