CLEARLAKE, Calif. – The Clearlake City Council will discuss the adoption of the budget for the new fiscal year when it meets this week.
The council meeting will take place at 6 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 9, in the council chambers at Clearlake City Hall, 14050 Olympic Drive.
City Manager Joan Phillipe will present to the council her first budget since her hire last fall.
She is proposing a balanced $20.3 million budget, with a $4.1 million general fund, according to her report to the council.
Also on the Thursday agenda, the council will consider adopting a resolution to put a one-cent sales tax measure on the Nov. 6 ballot.
The measure, which must pass with a 66-percent yes vote, will be used for street maintenance and code enforcement.
In other business, council members will hold the first reading of an ordinance to establish a one-percent pass-through fee on Mediacom subscribers in order to fund the county’s cable access television station, TV8.
The council also will consider staff comments and consider amendments to the new ordinance regulating smoking in city parks and certain other public places, and consider a resolution that would change the name of the portion of Ridge Road between Howard Avenue and Oakland Avenue to Ridge Avenue.
The Lakeshore Lions Club will receive a certificate from the council at the Thursday meeting in honor of the group’s July 4 festivities.
