City Council to discuss summer events
The Lakeport City Council will discuss summer community events within the city limits and consider the approval of various infrastructure related projects in addition to the purchase of a police vehicle during their regularly scheduled meeting on Tuesday.
The Lakeport city staff is looking for direction from council on what community events using public areas are going to take place for this summer. This is in light of the COVID-19 Blueprint for a Safer Economy.
City staff has been working with the Lake County Public Health Department to discuss what events to allow this summer. Public Health will continue to review each event’s COVID-19 Mitigation Plan and they will be required before being submitted to the city.
According to staff, Public Health believes that outdoor community events can be conducted safely with proper masking, social distancing and the inclusion of hand-washing stations.
Events scheduled to be discussed at Tuesday’s meeting are the Library Park Farmer’s Market, Old Time Machines Car Show, Home Amateur Wine Makers Winefest, Lakeport Main Street Association Shop and Dine and the annual 4th of July event.
Lake County has already moved into the Orange Tier for the COVID-19 Blueprint for a Safer Economy and the state is looking to be fully opened by June 15.
Lakeport City Staff believes that with proper measures in place, events can take place safely. There will be further discussion on various options on how events can take place during the council meeting.
The City Council is also being asked to authorize spending of up to $40,000 to purchase and install equipment in a 2021 Dodge Charger patrol vehicle.
At the April 6 meeting, the City Council authorized an adjustment to the 202021 police budget for the purchase of a vehicle and associated costs.
City Council is looking to approve the use of Senate Bill 1 (SB 1) funds on the North Main Street Sidewalk Project and North Main Repaving Project. The city is projected to receive an amount of $93,932.
The North Main St Sidewalk Project includes the replacement of curb, gutter and sidewalk to meet current Americans with Disabilities Act standards. This project will tie in to the Lakefront Park Project.
The North Main Repaving Project will have limits from 5th Street to 11th Street. Any remaining monies will be dedicated to miscellaneous roadway maintenance and rehabilitation projects.
Also on the council’s agenda for Tuesday is the draft resolution to submit an application in the amount of $95,000 for the State community Development Block Grant Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CDBG-CV).
These funds will be used to purchase and install HVAC equipment, and appurtenant equipment for the Silveira Community Center.
