On Tuesday, the council will consider returning to the Lakeport Fire Protection District a surplus ambulance.
The vehicle was donated by the fire district to the city in June 2021, with the goal of using it for a police command vehicle. However, with the city unable to secure the necessary grant funding to complete the vehicle’s conversion, the council will consider returning to the district, which has expressed interest in taking it back, refurbishing it and using it as a backup ambulance.
The city reported the ambulance has 141,000 miles on it and an estimated value of under $10,000.
Also on Tuesday, the council will consider approving a proposed resolution authorizing the submittal of an application to the California State Department of Housing and Community Development for funding under the HOME Investment Partnership Program.
The city is seeking up to $750,000 for the Bevins Street Senior Apartments project located at 447 Bevins St.
The council also will consider a design immunity ordinance authorizing the city manager to sign written contracts and conveyances and have design approval authority and accept the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report for Fiscal Year 2022-23.
