The council will meet beginning at 6 p.m. Thursday, March 5, in the council chambers at Clearlake City Hall, 14050 Olympic Drive.
During the meeting, the council will present a proclamation declaring March 2020 as March for Meals Month and receive the annual report and budget from the PEG Station.
Under business, council members will discuss and give direction to staff regarding commercial cannabis regulatory permits, with corrections to be brought back to the March 19 meeting.
City Attorney Ryan Jones’ report explained that the council passed Ordinance No. 229-2019 regulating commercial cannabis regulatory permits on June 13.
He said that, during the codification process, staff discovered a typo as well as a need to clarify the council’s “intent in relation to suspension/revocation of the commercial cannabis regulatory permit,” as there are inconsistencies in the document.
Staff also will ask the council to amend the fiscal year 2019-20 Adopted Budget to include grant revenue of $268,500 awarded from the California Office of Emergency Services for the Public Safety Power Shutoff Resiliency Allocation to Cities grant.
The Cal OES request for proposals explains that the grants are meant for California incorporated cities to prepare for and respond to public safety power shutoff events.
“Funds appropriated may be used to procure fixed, long term emergency electrical generation equipment, continuity plans, risk assessments for critical infrastructure, post event reports, public education materials or supplies to prepare for electric disruption,” the document said.
Interim Finance Director Jill Martin’s report to the council explains that specific purchases needing council approval will be brought back for approval upon receipt of the funds.
On the meeting's consent agenda – items that are not considered controversial and are usually adopted on a single vote – are warrant registers; receipt and filing of the Clearlake Waste Solutions annual report; consideration of continuing a declaration of local emergency issued on Oct. 9, 2017, and ratified by council action on Oct. 12, 2017, and set review for the next council meeting; and consideration of updating the city’s travel per diem, Resolution No. 2020-08
