To give the council adequate time to review your questions and comments, please submit your written comments before 4 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 15.
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. Public comment emails and town hall public comment submissions that are received after the beginning of the meeting will not be included in the record.
At the start of Thursday’s meeting, the council will meet one of September’s adoptable dogs from the city shelter, host a swearing-in of new police department employees and present a proclamation declaring Sept. 23, 2022, as Native American Day.
Under business, the council will hear a presentation and discuss the second phase of the Lake County Recreation Center Feasibility Study.
The council also will discuss a mutual aid agreement between the cities of Clearlake, Lakeport, Fort Bragg, Point Arena, Ukiah and Willits.
“The cities in Lake and Mendocino counties meet regularly to discuss similar issues, share ideas, and lend support and guidance as needed,” City Manager Alan Flora said in his written report to the council.
“As a result of these discussions a proposal was developed, with the City of Ukiah as the lead, for a mutual aid agreement between all six cities. The goal of having this agreement in place is to formalize our ability to provide support for each other, provide for reimbursement, and clarification of roles and responsibilities,” Flora wrote.
In other business, the council will consider an amendment to the agreement with Pacific Gas and Electric for the use of the community/senior center for emergencies not connected to public safety power outages.
On the meeting's consent agenda — items that are considered routine in nature and usually adopted on a single vote — are warrants; consideration of acceptance of the property located at 16626 Third Ave.; approval of Police Chief Andrew White’s response to the 2021-22 Grand Jury report on abandoned vehicles; continuation of authorization to implement and utilize teleconference accessibility to conduct public meetings pursuant to Assembly Bill 361; approval of response to the 2021-22 Grand Jury Report, “Not Your Grandpa's Dump”; acceptance for filing the 2022 Local Agency Biennial Notice regarding amendments to the conflict of interest code.
The council also will hold a closed session to discuss two potential cases of litigation.
