CLEARLAKE, Calif. – The Clearlake City Council this week will consider staff's suggestion to reject bids submitted for repairs at the city's visitor center project and hear a presentation on the closeout of a state grant.
The council will hold a closed session for labor negotiations beginning at 5:30 p.m. before the open session begins at 6 p.m. Thursday, June 9, in the council chambers at Clearlake City Hall, 14050 Olympic Drive.
On Thursday's agenda the council will consider rejecting bids for the Highlands Park Visitor Center stucco repairs.
City Clerk Melissa Swanson's report to the council explains that the staff opened two bids for the repairs on May 19.
The bids were from Neils Construction for $42,499 and Painting and Decor Inc. for $57,000.
Both bids are over the project budget amount and staff is recommending that the council reject the bids, Swanson said, adding that staff is looking at ways to complete the work at a reduced cost.
In other business, there will be a presentation and closeout of a planning and technical assistance grant as required by the Department of Housing and Community Development.
A second reading of an ordinance to put a transaction and use tax on the November ballot is being held over until the June 23 meeting, as councilmen Bruno Sabatier and Nick Bennett are expected to be absent from Thursday's meeting.
On the meeting's consent agenda – items considered noncontroversial and usually accepted as a slate on one vote – are warrant registers; minutes of the May 12, 19 and 26 meetings; and consideration of reviewing the conflict-of-interest code.
