In a public hearing during the Tuesday meeting, the council will consider approving a resolution that would change the name of Westside Park Road to Charlie Jolin Way.
The proposal, which was brought to the council over the summer by the Westside Community Park Committee, received initial approval from the council before it went to the Lakeport Planning Commission. The commission followed up by approving the proposal in October.
Jolin died in June at age 96. He is credited with being the prime mover in the creation and promotion of the park.
Also on Tuesday, Public Health Officer Dr. Gary Pace will give the council an update on COVID-19 in Lake County.
In other business, the council will receive a presentation on the Redwood Empire Municipal Insurance Fund and the merger with Public Agency Risk Sharing Authority of California to create the California Intergovernmental Risk Authority, or CIRA, and direct staff to work with CIRA on steps necessary to complete the merger and place joint powers agreements and bylaws as a consent item on a future agenda.
On the consent agenda – items considered noncontroversial and usually accepted as a slate on one vote – are ordinances; minutes of the council’s regular Nov. 3 meeting; and the Oct. 29 warrant register.
