Under council business, Public Works Superintendent Ron Ladd will ask the council to approve a local roadway safety plan and authorize the city manager, or designee, to implement the plan.
The council also will consider awarding a construction contract in the amount of $1,605,632 to Granite Construction Co. for the Hartley Street Pedestrian Improvement Project.
Ladd’s report to the council explains that the project will provide Americans with Disabilities Act-compliant access on Hartley Street from 20th Street to the east-side access of the
school complex. It will result in 1,550 feet of new sidewalk, curb and gutter, new retaining walls,
and flashing pedestrian warning signs near the school as part of this project.
In other business, City Manager Kevin Ingram will ask for the council’s approval of a memorandum of understanding to establish a cost sharing agreement with the county of Lake and city of Clearlake for community visioning forum facilitation.
The total agreement cost is $33,000, with the county of Lake to pay $22,500, the city of Clearlake $8,000 and the city of Lakeport $2,500.
On the consent agenda — items usually accepted as a slate on one vote — are ordinances; minutes of the council’s regular meeting on Feb. 1; adoption of a resolution authorizing continued remote teleconference meetings of the Lakeport City Council and its legislative bodies pursuant to Government Code section 54953(e); confirm the continuing existence of a local emergency for the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency; approval of event application 2022-009, with staff recommendations, for the 2022 Mental Health Matters Resource Fair; approval of event application 2022-010, with staff recommendations, for the 2022 Home Amateur Winemakers Winefest; and adoption of a resolution amending and adopting an updated Conflict of Interest Code.
