The council on Tuesday will present proclamations for Police Week, Safe Boating Week, the 50th anniversary of Mendocino College, California Tourism Month and Building Safety Month, will present a certification of police canine and handler, and receive a presentation on the Pavement Management Program.
Public Works Director Ron Ladd will ask the city to award a $85,336.56 public works contract to Square Signs LLC dba Front Signs.
Ladd’s report explained that the project is the result of the County Wide Sign Inventory Plan completed by consultant TJKM in November of 2019 under the direction of the Lake Area Planning Council.
“The plan included a complete inventory of all signs citywide with retroreflectivity standards evaluated for conformance with the California Manual for Uniform Traffic Control Devices. The plan provided a list of all signs that failed to meet the standards and were recommended to be replaced,” Ladd said.
Ladd said the project consists of the replacement of 574 signs throughout the city limits that were included in the replacement recommendations from the County Wide Sign Inventory Plan. “Signs include street name signs, guide signs, object markers, stop signs, regulatory and warning signs.”
Also on Tuesday, Ladd will present a proposed resolution approving the City of Lakeport SB 1 Project List for fiscal year 2023-24 and direct staff to submit to the California Transportation Commission.
The projects Ladd staff proposes for the funding are the South Main Rehabilitation Project, which includes the replacement of curb, gutter and sidewalk to meet current Americans with Disabilities Act standards on both sides of the road, and pavement mill and fill from Lakeport Boulevard to the southern edge of the intersection of South Main Street and First Street, as well as miscellaneous roadway maintenance activities from Lakeport Boulevard to 20th Street.
The council also will receive a presentation from the chief building official on the city’s weed abatement program.
On the consent agenda — items considered noncontroversial and usually accepted as a slate on one vote — are ordinances; minutes of the regular council meeting on May 2; approval of application 2023-014, with staff recommendations, for the 2023 Sponsoring Survivorship Walk/Run; authorize the cancellation of the regular meeting of July 4; and receipt and filing of the third quarter report from the Community Development Department.
