Each public comment emailed to the city clerk will be read aloud by the mayor or a member of staff for up to three minutes or will be displayed on a screen.

On the agenda for Thursday is a Fiscal Responsibility Act hearing and proposed adoption by the council of a resolution approving the issuance of tax-exempt bonds not-to-exceed $8 million by the California Statewide Communities Development Authority, or CSCDA.
The bonds would provide HPD Clearlake II, LP with financing for the acquisition and rehabilitation of a 72-unit multifamily rental housing project known as Clearlake Apartments, located at 7145 Old Highway 53.
The staff report said the current financing will allow for upgrades to the units, and extend the affordability covenants for another 55 years.
There is no fiscal impact for the city, staff reported.
Also on Thursday, staff will ask the council to approve a $239,800 contract with Resource
Environmental for the demolition of the remaining structures on the former Outrageous Waters water park property, which the city recently purchased as part of its commercial development plan at the former Pearce Airport property.
In other business, the council will consider awarding a $100,000 contract to All In One Auto Repair and Towing contract for the city’s Abandoned Vehicle Abatement Program towing, storing, dismantling and disposal services.
Staff on Thursday also will give the council an update on Cache fire recovery efforts, and discuss possible action regarding the Lake County Board of Supervisors’ redistricting process and a storage facility for disaster supplies.
