The meeting will begin at 6 p.m. at Lakeport City Hall, 225 Park St.

Under City Council communications, the council will receive information on the proposed Cristallago subdivision, and may take possible action on it.

Although the reports with this week's agenda don't specify what that action may be, it could include offering comments on the subdivision's draft environmental impact report, which is now in its 45-day public comment period, which ends Dec. 29.

The project proposes a mixed-use community consisting of 650 single family residential units, 325 resort units, 18-hole “Jack Nicklaus Signature” golf course, 25,000-square-foot clubhouse, community activity center, vista spa, restaurant, conference facility, and nature preserve. It also would include maintaining 576 acres of open space, of which 366 acres is proposed to be dedicated in perpetuity as a nature preserve.

Cristallago would not be within the Lakeport city limits; the site is located two and a half miles north of the city.

The Lake County Planning Commission will hold a public hearing on Cristallago's draft environmental impact report on Dec. 11 at 11 a.m.

Also on Tuesday, the council will hold a public hearing on Ordinance No. 877, which would authorize an amendment to the contract between the city and the Board of Administration of the California Public Employees’ Retirement System.

The amendment will add the provision to offer a “golden handshake” early retirement incentive of two years additional service credit to a retiring member because of an impending mandatory transfer, demotion or layoff, according to a report from Financial Director Janet Tavernier.

Convening jointly as the council and the Lakeport Redevelopment Agency, they will consider two contract change orders, and approve the notice of completion for the Third Street Improvement Project and authorize the mayor to sign it and the City Clerk to record it.

Under council business, City Engineer Scott Harter will take to the council a resolution providing for the paving of Third Street from the east side of Main Street to the east side of Park Street and the paving of the alley between Second and Third Streets adjacent to 225 Park St.; and prohibiting opening, cuts or excavations in these paved sections of street for a period of five years.

Planning Services Manager Andrew Britton will present the council with the Lakewood Knolls Subdivision map, which the council will consider approving. Kevin Carinalli of Santa Rosa-based CarCo is proposing to create 28 lots out of two parcels totaling approximately 6.41 acres at 1296 and 1320 Craig Ave.

The council also will considering adopting personnel rules presented by City Attorney Steve Brookes.

Other items on the council's Tuesday agenda will include:

‒ A proclamation commemorating the Redwood Empire Foster Grandparent Program on their 35th anniversary.

‒ Application for Victory Man Racing for a triathlon on Sept. 18, 19, and 20, 2009.

‒ No Name Car Club's application for its annual car show on June 5 and 6, 2009.

‒ Lakeport Regional Chamber of Commerce's request for the Dickens Christmas Market in the amount of $5,000.

‒ Consider request for funding from the Lakeport Regional Chamber of Commerce for putting up and removing the City Christmas decorations in the amount of $500.

The council also will hold a closed session to discuss negotiations with the Lakeport Employees Association and Lakeport Police Officers Association.
