Clearlake agendas: $30,000 storage purchase, senior center RFP, three use permits

Clearlake's City Council and Planning Commission put a $30,000 Public Works purchase, a request for proposals to run the city's senior center, and three conditional use permits on their agendas over the past two weeks. All three meetings are recorded as agenda-only — no minutes have been published — so no votes, contract awards, or final outcomes are confirmed in the records reviewed.

City Council, Oct. 1: budget amendment and $30,000 storage purchase

The council's regular meeting was scheduled for Thursday, Oct. 1, 2026, at 6:00 p.m. at Clearlake City Hall, 14050 Olympic Dr.

On the consent agenda, the council was set to consider a FY 2026-27 budget amendment (Resolution 2026-22; Resolution No. 2026-38), new job descriptions and updated salary ranges for Senior Maintenance Worker II and Parks & Facilities Foreman (Resolution No. 2026-37), and the purchase of metal storage buildings for Public Works materials and equipment, not to exceed $30,000.

The rest of the agenda was procedural — roll call, pledge of allegiance, and adjournment. The agenda text contains no dollar amounts, contract awards, or ordinances.

Public comment was allowed in person. According to the agenda, Zoom attendees could not give verbal comment but could submit written comments via Zoom Q&A or to City Clerk Melissa Swanson by 4:00 p.m. the day of the meeting.

Clearlake Council to weigh $2.7M roundabout contract, union deals; planners to take up Lakeport watercraft rental

Clearlake officials this week are weighing a $2.7 million contract for a roundabout project at Dam Road, along with new labor agreements covering city employees. The City Council met in special session July 1 to consider those items, while the Planning Commission earlier discussed a proposal to allow watercraft rentals on Lakeshore Drive. No final votes have been recorded yet; minutes from both meetings remain unpublished.

Dam Road Roundabout Contract and Employee MOUs

The City Council’s special meeting on July 1 had a focused agenda. The council was set to consider awarding a $2,698,550.69 contract to Ghilotti Construction for the Dam Road Roundabout Project. The proposed resolution would authorize up to 10 percent in unforeseen amendments to the contract.

Also before the council were three one-year memorandums of understanding with employee associations, each running from July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027:

The meeting summary indicates the council discussed and possibly adopted the MOUs, but the official outcome will be available once minutes are published.

Planning Commission to Consider Watercraft Rentals

The Planning Commission met June 23 to hold a public hearing on Conditional Use Permit CUP 2026-05. The permit would allow watercraft rentals at 13885 Lakeshore Drive. A resolution, numbered PC 2026-07, was recommended for adoption. Other routine items included approval of previous meeting minutes.

No other business was listed on the agenda. The commission has not yet released minutes from the meeting, so the final decision on the permit is not yet public.

Coming up

No upcoming meetings for the next two weeks have been published as of July 5. Residents are encouraged to check the city’s official meeting calendar for any newly scheduled sessions.
