On Tuesday, Lake County Public Health Officer Dr. Gary Pace will update the council on the progress to contain the COVID-19 outbreak in the county.
Also on the agenda is a public hearing for safety assessment placard ordinance.
City Manager Kevin Ingram’s report to the council explains that the ordinance establishes “a standardized system to inform the public of the condition of an inspected building and the conditions under which inspected buildings and structures may be entered and occupied after a natural or manmade disaster has occurred.”
A second public hearing is scheduled for the council to confirm and approve the utility billing delinquency list and the associated resolution. Council also is expected to direct staff to submit the list to the County Auditor-Controller’s Office for inclusion on the property tax roll.
In other business, Ingram will ask the city to authorize him to enter into a construction contract with Pacific West Builders in the amount of $650,000 for the completion of the Martin Street Apartments Off-site Improvement Project.
Also on Tuesday, Police Chief Brad Rasmussen will present his department’s after action report on the Independence Day fireworks operations.
On the consent agenda – items considered noncontroversial and usually accepted as a slate on one vote – are ordinances; minutes of the regular council meeting on July 21; confirmation of the continuing existence of a local emergency for the Mendocino Complex fire; confirmation of the continuing existence of a local emergency for the February 2019 storms; confirmation of the continuing existence of a local emergency for the October 2019 public safety power shutoff; confirmation of the continuing existence of a local emergency for the COVID-19 public health emergency; receipt and filing of the draft minutes of the July 15 Measure Z Advisory Committee meeting; and approval of the proposed addendum to the professional services agreement between the city of Lakeport and Colantuono, Highsmith & Whatley, PC, for the services of the city attorney.
