Hillary,
I see that the Alcohol use is not checked. No police concerns if they don't plan to have
alcohol. Possible concerns if alcohol is going to be used and I will need appropriate permits
if thats the case.

5.24.010
Purpose and Intent.
A.
The purpose of this chapter is to regulate solicitation in the city to allow residents
to protect their peace and tranquility, to allow the free and safe flow of pedestrian and
vehicular traffic, and to deter fraud and other criminal behavior. It is the intent of this chapter to
respect the rights of free expression guaranteed by the California and United States
Constitutions; to constitute reasonable, content-neutral, time, place and manner restrictions;
and to impose the smallest burden on expressive activity necessary to accomplish the objectives
of this chapter. This chapter shall be construed in light of this intent.
B.
The exclusion of religious and political motivations from the purposes for
solicitation regulated by this chapter is intended to provide greater protection for such
expressive activity as required by such judicial decisions as Watchtower Bible & Tract Society of
New York, Inc. v. Village of Stratton (2002) 536 U.S. 150, and not to require city officials to
1
163640.2
ATTACHMENT 1
determine what does and does not constitute bona fide religious and political motives except as
necessary to do so. Accordingly, in the enforcement of this chapter, city officials shall accept
claims that activity is politically or religiously motivated unless evidence is obtained
demonstrating those claims to be untruthful.

making the same receives any contribution or makes any sale referred to in this subsection.

accommodation, in any place of business open to the public generally, on city streets and

assistance or any other thing of value:
1.

Mayors Message City of Lakeport Annual Report 2015 /
S I SAT DOWN TO REFLECT and offer my thoughts on our Annual

Report during my tenure as Mayor, including the many accomplishments
and future challenges that you will read about here, I felt a sense of
another story brewing within. An elephant in the room, if you will.
This elephant I speak of, is of course, the horrific fires Lake County
experienced, including Californias third most devastating, the Valley Fire.
The everyday business of budgeting, working on capital improvements,
and going about our normal lives took a distant back seat to saving lives,
protecting property and recovery.
We were very fortunate to not be adversely affected by fire here in the
City of Lakeport, but no one in Lake County was unaffected. In the early
hours of the Valley Fire, I witnessed city staff, council members, police
officers and our citizenry all joining together to evacuate fire threatened
communities, staff the emergency operations center, provide shelter to
fire victims and support the first responders.
Martin Scheel - Mayor (2015)
Our small city nearly doubled in population within days due to the fire command center located at our fair grounds
and the 4,000 plus fire personnel needed to save our communities. Hundreds if not a thousand additional vehicles
on our streets, traffic jams (wait, traffic jams?). Local businesses being overwhelmed. This in itself can devastate a
small community. But it did not. Instead of scores of angry citizens voicing their concerns, we witnessed a multitude
of signs of support for our firefighting guests. Instead of our community being upset that their favorite restaurant was
overwhelmed with fire support staff and may run out of food, they were offering their meals to the firefighters. This
same sentiment continued throughout Lakeport and Lake County.
It became immediately apparent that city limit lines, town boundaries, political partisanship and other barriers that
can consume our daily lives had disappeared. The cities and communities of Lake County became the community
of Lake County. I have a great sense of pride on how the community of Lakeport came together to assist our
neighbors, and the work we did as a City this past year strengthened our ability to do.
The investments we made in our water infrastructure better abled us provide that critical resource to responders
while limiting the impact to our residents and businesses. The attention we gave to our roadways allowed for
commerce to continue unimpeded and resources to be available to fire victims. And the plans we set in motion to
enhance the safety and effectiveness of our police
department will ensure that future times of need will be
met for anyone who calls Lakeport home.
Our community came

together as one family, 60,000
plus strong.
As we move down the path of recovery, I believe we

must preserve this camaraderie that has been forged
from disaster. We still have the day-to-day business of
running our city and providing services to our citizens.
We still have to budget for the future. Recovery will
take years if not decades and will be part of our daily
lives. One of your children may be writing this message in the not too distant future. What will their message be? I
am confident that we can lay the foundation for our and their future.
From that first radio call fire on Cobb, to the homes being rebuilt as we speak, I think what impacted me most from
my unique view as your Mayor during the fires of 2015, is how our community came together as one family, 60,000
plus strong. The City of Lakeport will continue to be a supportive sibling as we journey through our new future. A
future that in my opinion is best described as:
Lake County Strong

Lakefront Plan
Beautiful new docks have
been installed at Library
Park. Even the pouring
rain during the ribbon
cutting did not diminish
the excitement from the
community and boaters
of Lake County. With
a portion of a $10,000
contribution from the
Lakeport Rotary, solar
lights were added to the
docks which create a new
ambiance to our docks
and Library Park.
The City of Lakeport, with its easy access

to fishing, boating and plenty of community
activities, is an excellent place to play and relax.
Westshore Pool
The City of Lakeport operates a public
swimming pool for the benefit of the
Lakeport community, which includes
residents outside of the City limits. The
pool is available to private clubs, the
Lakeport Unified School District, and the
general community during summer months,
providing an invaluable service to parents
and children. Westshore Pool also offers
swimming lessons during the summer
months for $60 per child.
The City of Lakeport, along with Measure T funding provided

for Lakeport Unified School District, plan on making extensive
refurbishments to the Westshore Pool in the near future.
Solar power is not only a viable,

environmentally responsible resource, it also
has the potential to generate significant
cost savings. Council has voiced strong
support for the City to pursue its
implementation, and it will be
a key focus for us in the
coming year.

The annual 4th of July fireworks display

is a amazing sight to be seen. The
process takes months of planning
and many sets of hands to plan and
execute the 20 minute display each
year over beautiful Clear Lake. Each
year the display gets bigger and better
and includes more than 750 fireworks
set off from pontoon boats on Clear
Lake. Fireworks are ignited with an
automatic electric firing system that
requires hours of electrical wiring. Safety is always the primary
concern and strict regulations are followed in cooperation with
the Lakeport Fire Department as well as other state and federal
agencies. Each year the amazing display with clear views and
glowing reflections cast onto the lake below is a one of a kind
experience.

City Managers Message City of Lakeport Annual Report 2015 /
ROWING OUR COMMUNITY TOGETHER. We believe we must

act boldly and deliberately to strengthen our local economy, thereby
enhancing service delivery and maintaining the highest quality of life for
our citizenry. Growing a community together is a collaborative effort
between all stakeholders: the City Council, city management, staff, and
most importantly the community.
The focus has been three core elements:
1.
2.
3.
People
Service delivery
Fiscal sustainability
People: an organizations success cannot be achieved without good

people. As we discuss infrastructure most people think of pipes under
the ground and roads. For a service industry such as the City, people/
Margaret Silveira - City
employees are a key infrastructure for the service delivery and the
success of a community. Lakeport is fortunate to have this resource.
The key is to retain and attract this resource. We have wonderful individuals working hard for this City.
Manager
Service delivery: The City is a service-based organization. Its what we do. Over the last several years we have provided
high quality municipal services at the lowest possible cost. But as our economic recovery continues, costs are rising faster
than revenues. We need continue to focus on the
what and the how. What services can we continue to
provide at the highest level and how best we can do it?
Growing a community
together is a collaborative effort

between all stakeholders.
Fiscal Stability. We are recovering from the most

devastating financial disaster in over 80 years and
are beginning the process of restoration. The State
of California is not making the process easier for us,
opting instead to solve its own financial hardships on
the backs of local government. Lakeport is resilient
and will find our way to economic and fiscal prosperity.
Infrastructure Matters. We rely on our infrastructure to be the cornerstone of a successful city. Quality roads, water mains,
and sewers are the backbone of our community.
During the 2014-15 fiscal year the City of Lakeport has made substantial investment in its capital infrastructure. New
docks were installed at Library Park. Parallel Drive was resurfaced. The environmental process for the Lakeshore
Boulevard Emergency Repair Project was set into motion. And major water and sewer infrastructure projects were
completed or well under way. Unfortunately, even though much was done, this is largely insufficient to what is required to
replace or rehabilitate every fixed asset, especially our roads.
I want to thank the West Side Park Committee for their civic leadership and commitment to the community. The
infrastructure they continue to enhance, new baseball fields, horseshoe pits, sand pits for beach hand ball, trails and many
planned projects for the future add tremendous value to our City. Id like to thank the volunteers at our police department,
who have been a tremendous help during our shortness of staff, and to countless members of the community who believe
in Lakeport and roll up their sleeves when needed.
And I want to thank my entire staff at the City of Lakeport for their hard work and endurance theyve demonstrated over
the past few years with limited resources. And to the City Council, I praise you for the leadership you have demonstrated.
Your support makes our job more rewarding and drives us to perform at our best.

Affordable Senior
Housing
Working closely with developers,
we helped complete a new housing
project in 2014, Bella Vista, offering
quality 48 unit residences for dozens
of low and moderate-income senior
citizens who have chosen Lakeport
to live out their golden years. Part
of this effort involved tailoring our
policies to move the project forward.
In the end, it was an incredible
triumph. Now in 2015, the same
developer is beginning the process
for another 32 units of housing for
low and moderate income seniors in
Lakeport. We also were successful
in securing grant funding in 2014
to support low income residents in
home rehabilitation and first time
homebuyer assistance.

Economic Development City of Lakeport Annual Report 2015 /
South Main Street Annexation

The City of Lakeport stands ready to provide critical, high-quality, low-cost municipal services to the residents and business
owners along the South Main Street/Soda Bay Road corridor. Following the annexation process, the City will extend its water
infrastructure down South Main Street and portions of Soda Bay Road, while looping it to its main line across Highway 29 and
north along Parallel Drive. The benefits to current Lakeport citizens
include enhancing an efficient and reliable water delivery system and
realizing greater economies of scale, helping to keep costs low and
Housing Market
rates affordable to everyone.
Newly incorporated residents and businesses will have the choice to
connect to the system at that time, at a later time, or not at all. If
their choice is to connect, they will enjoy the same level of benefit as
each of the other 2,200 households and businesses that call Lakeport
home. Additionally, those newly incorporated into the City will receive
the full services the City has to offer, including police patrols, economic
development programs, infrastructure maintenance, and much more.
Lakeport market
trends indicate
an increase of
$55,500 (33%)
in median home
sales price over
the past year.
Economic
Development
Local businesses have suffered tremendously over the past several
years, and the focus of our economic development efforts must
remain on business retention. The Citys commitment to economic
development must be maintained through active advisement by the
Lakeport Economic Development Advisory Committee (LEDAC) and in
collaboration with the Lakeport Main Street Association, the Chamber
of Commerce, and the Countys marketing program.
Staff has been very active in pursuing a
regional economic development approach.
The County of Lake, with approximately
64,000 population, is not much more
populated that a mid-size city in California.
It is important for both the cities of Lakeport
and Clearlake to partner with the County
of Lake in marketing and promoting the
area through a regional approach. As
funding becomes scarce for activities
outside of core municipal services, the
need for regional cooperation becomes
more apparent. A working group from both
cities and the County continues with regular
meetings to discuss the opportunities and
the structure of a regional economic entity.
It is important to remember that as our
regional partners prosper, so do we.
At this time the City has approximately $2
million in redevelopment bond proceeds, $1.9
million of which are planned to be targeted
at Downtown Main Street for the coming
year. This will grow our efforts to promote
economic development, tourism, and
economic vitality for the City.

Administrative Services
City staff enhanced recruitment
efforts to attract out of
county candidates and create
a stronger, more capable
workforce. Evaluations
were conducted to assess
departmental training needs
and provide opportunities
for personal growth and
recognition of excellence. The
City of Lakeport is dedicated
to growing and developing a
dynamic and talented team of
enthusiastic individuals who
make Lakeport a wonderful
place to live and work.
Police Department
A new home for the Lakeport
Police Department is palnned.
The building which previously
housed the Social Security
Department on South Main
Street is a great location for the
new facility. We capitalized on
the opportunity, and acquired
the building using the most
cost effective resources
available. The City was able to
finance the project with a low
interest loan through the USDA
Community Facilities Program.
The Police Department is
scheduled to move in late
summer 2016. The Lakeport
Police Department hired its 11th
Police Officer for higher crime
prevention in Lakeport. Body
cameras were also purchased
for officers as well as replaced
MAV units. Extensive community
outreach was also provided to
Parks, Buildings and

Grounds,

This is a great asset to

service are enhanced and
made more effective with this
new system. It is the result
of the tremendous effort and
dedication to the project by
the Finance Department staff
that made it possible. The
Finance Department is also
actively working to complete
the installation process on a
new city-wide phone system.
Along with extensive efforts to

Public Works
and Utilities
To enhance services to the
community while reducing
costs, the City of Lakeport
Public Works Department has
been merged with the Utilities
Department to incorporate
the enterprise activities of
water and sewer services.
The restructured Public Works
Department now consists of
seven distinct divisions, each
with its own unique function and
purpose. They are as follows:
Administration and
Compliance
Roads and
Infrastructure
Community Development
The Community Development
Department is comprised
of three divisions: Planning,
Housing, and Building. Each
division has various roles
in the review and approval
process of new development
projects, inspections and
code enforcements. City
staff worked closely with
local businesses and the
general public to strengthen
economic bonds within the
community and surrounding
counties. Continuous efforts
have been made to assist in
the implementation of major
grants and programs to benefit
Lakeport including first time
homebuyer, the rehabilitation
grant through the HOME
program and Habitat for
Humanity.
The staff is committed to
involvement with crucial
economic development
organizations within Lake
County such as the Lakeport
17
Advisory Committee (LEDAC),
the Lakeport Main Street
Association and Lake County
Chamber of Commerce.
City staff sits on boards
at Marymount College,
Mendocino College and
Sutter Lakeside Hospital.
The Economic Development
Department completed an
extensive Carnegie Library
reuse feasibility study to make
the historical structure ADA
compliant and to review the
best implementation strategies
for the benefit of Lakeport
businesses and residents.
2015 was a very busy

year for the Citys dedicated and hardworking
staff. Long hours and
hard work were involved
in the planning of several critical projects,
including the Downtown
Main Street revitalization, USDA water and
sewer infrastructure
rehab, and various road
resurfacing and rehab
efforts, just to name a
few. This was in addition
to the regular day-to-day
work that staff attended
to. This year will be time
to see these through and
to deliver to Lakeport
what was promised.

RE:
MEETING DATE:
Utility Payment Delinquency Procedures (Water)
SUBMITTED BY:

PURPOSE OF REPORT:
Information only
Discussion
Action Item

The City Council is being asked to hold a public hearing and adopt an ordinance authorizing the City to place
delinquent water utility customer accounts on the property tax roll when necessary and appropriate.
Several options are available to the City in the collection of delinquent water utility accounts for its water
enterprise. The most powerful collection tool is through the property tax collection process and is applicable to
any water utility customer receiving water service with a delinquent account. This ordinance establishes
procedures for placing delinquent water utility accounts on the tax roll for collection as required by applicable
state law, including notice and a public hearing for affected landowners. The City Council has the ultimate
decision at the public hearing on whether to place the delinquent water utility charges on the tax roll.
The City has been in the practice for several years of referring such accounts to the County Auditor-Controller
for inclusion on the tax roll. It has regularly done so on an annual basis and has reserved the process for those
accounts that were significantly delinquent or deemed to be uncollectable using alternative methods.
OPTIONS:
1. Hold a public hearing and adopt an Ordinance Amending Section 13.04.060 of Chapter 13.04 of Title 13
of the Lakeport Municipal Code Regarding Delinquent Water Charges.
2. Do not approve but provide direction to staff.

Comments: This action in of itself does not result in a fiscal impact. There is no charge to the City to place
delinquent accounts on the tax roll. The aggregate dollar amount of delinquent accounts sent to the County
Auditor-Controller for inclusion on the tax roll historically has been between $10,000 - $20,000, and due to the
manner in which property tax is collected, the collection success rate has been high.

lien may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction in the manner that mortgages are
foreclosed provided in the Code of Civil Procedure of the state. Such charges shall also be a
personal charge against the owner or occupant of the property (at the option of the city water
department) and may be collected by suit therefor.
B.
Each applicant or owner or occupant of any premises supplied with water shall be
responsible for water bills from the time the use of water is commenced until the collector of

Utility Payment Delinquency Procedures (Sewer)
SUBMITTED BY:

PURPOSE OF REPORT:
Information only
Discussion
Action Item

The City Council acting as the Board of Directors of the City of Lakeport Municipal Sewer District No. 1 (CLMSD)
is being asked to hold a public hearing and adopt an ordinance authorizing the CLMSD to place delinquent sewer
utility customer accounts on the property tax roll when necessary and appropriate.
Several options are available to the CLMSD in the collection of delinquent sewer utility accounts for its sewer
enterprise. The most powerful collection tool is through the property tax collection process and is applicable to
any sewer utility customer receiving sewer service with a delinquent account. This ordinance establishes
procedures for placing delinquent sewer utility accounts on the tax roll for collection as required by applicable
state law, including notice and a public hearing for affected landowners. The Board of Directors has the ultimate
decision at the public hearing on whether to place the delinquent sewer utility charges on the tax roll.
The CLMSD has been in the practice for several years of referring such accounts to the County Auditor-Controller
for inclusion on the tax roll. It has regularly done so on an annual basis and has reserved the process for those
accounts that were significantly delinquent or deemed to be uncollectable using alternative methods.
OPTIONS:
1. Hold a public hearing and adopt an Ordinance Amending Section 13.20.560 of Chapter 13.20 of Title 13
of the Lakeport Municipal Code Regarding Delinquent Sewer Charges.
FISCAL IMPACT:

Other:
Comments: This action in of itself does not result in a fiscal impact. There is no charge to the CLMSD to place
delinquent accounts on the tax roll. The aggregate dollar amount of delinquent accounts sent to the County
Auditor-Controller for inclusion on the tax roll historically has been between $10,000 - $20,000, and due to the
manner in which property tax is collected, the collection success rate has been high.

STAFF REPORT
RE:
Final Sewer Rate Adjustment Delay and Public Hearing
SUBMITTED BY:
MEETING DATE:
6/21/2016
PURPOSE OF REPORT:
Information only
Discussion
Action Item

Hold a public hearing on, and consider staff recommendation to, delaying the final adjustment to the sewer
enterprise and reduce sewer rates for vacant service addresses.
Council adopted rate adjustments to the water and sewer enterprises following a cost of service study in 2012.
Staff recently analyzed the effects of those adjustments, taking into consideration the drought and subsequent
water conservation measures. That analysis indicates that revenues are sufficient currently to account for those
anticipated in the 2016-17 fiscal year and suggests that the final rate increase to the sewer enterprise,
scheduled for July 1, 2016, could be delayed one year.
Additionally, staff is recommending reducing the sewer rate charged to rate payers at service addresses where
water service is not being received and where it is vacant of occupants.
OPTIONS:
1. Conduct a public hearing on delaying the final rate adjustment and approve the recommendation as
presented by staff to delay the July 1, 2016 sewer rate adjustment to July 1, 2017 and reduce the sewer
rate for all accounts for which the service address is vacant and not receiving water service to half the
current rate for the appropriate service/customer class.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None
Budgeted Item?

Affected fund(s):
Yes
General Fund
Yes
No
No
Water OM Fund
Sewer OM Fund
Other:
Comments: Sewer rates are expected to be 7% higher than anticipated in 2016 adequately capturing the
revenue requirement for sewer operations, debt service, reserve enhancement, and capital improvements for
this time period. Delay of the final adjustment is not expected to adversely impact the sewer enterprise in 2016.

STAFF REPORT
RE:
Approve a New Job Classification for a City Engineer /Public

Works Director
SUBMITTED BY:
MEETING DATE:
6/21/2016
Kelly Buendia, Administrative Services Director
PURPOSE OF REPORT:
Information only
Discussion
Action Item

The City Council is being asked to approve a new classification for a City Engineer/ Public Works Director.
The City Engineer position became vacant July of 2014 and the Citys Public Works Director position became
vacant May 1, 2016. Human Resources and Management personnel have been working closely to identify how
to properly fill these crucial positions. A recruitment for City Engineer in 2014 resulted in few applicants. The
duties were absorbed by other department heads, outsourced, or delegated to the citys contracted Engineer
who works onsite one day per week.
After study of the current organizational structure and size, staff is recommending hiring an Engineer that can
serve as the Public Works Director. This is possible due to the strong support staff in the Utilities and Public
Works Divisions and is in-line with staffing for smaller agencies. The City is in need of a qualified Engineer who
can review development applications; review and manage public works projects and provide oversight of
outside engineering firms for larger city projects.
It is imperative that the city hire personnel with the proper qualifications and organizational fit. In order to
attract more applicants and stay competitive with local agencies, staff is recommending setting a pay range of
$7,542 to $9,167 per month ($90,504 to $110,004 annually). The current pay range is $5,087 to $7,736 per
month ($61,044 to $92,832 annually) for both the City Engineer and the Public Works Director positions.
While a full-time City Engineer was not included in the 2015-2016 budget, there is no budget adjustment needed
as the new position would not likely be filled in this fiscal year. For the proposed 2016-2017 budget, the new
position at the higher salary range has been requested.
If the City Council approves this request, Human Resources will initiate a recruitment.
OPTIONS:
The Council could deny this request and provide other direction to staff.

Discussion
Action Item

The City Council is being asked to receive and file the Illegal Fireworks Police Operation Plan for the 30-day
period surrounding the 4th of July (June 17 through July 16).
Lakeport Municipal Code Chapter 5.30 Fireworks, sub 5.30.220(a) requires that the Police Department present
to the City Council an operation plan. Said operation plan shall include the following information:
(i)
Identification of areas within the City where illegal fireworks were a problem in the previous year;
(ii)
A detailed explanation of the deployment of fire and law enforcement personnel to deal with those
troublesome areas as well as with the balance of the City;
(iii)
A report on the apparatus and personnel who will be on duty for the period of June 17 through July 16 of
that year, and more particularly, on July 1 through 5, inclusive;
(iv)
Recommendations on and discussion of what, if any, dedicated illegal fireworks enforcement patrols there
should be for that year and all other relevant information and statistics deemed necessary by the City
Council.
There are significant increases in the number of visitors to our city during the July 4 holiday and the 30-day
period surrounding it. The number of visitors to the city peaks on July 4 as many persons arrive to enjoy
fireworks related activities. In order to provide for proper public safety, the Police Department increases its
staffing levels as much as possible in the period surrounding July 4. During the fireworks show on July 4, the
Police Department deploys all of our staff as well as mutual aid staff from other law enforcement agencies in
Lake County. The police department has developed the 2016 fireworks period operation plan along with public
notices regarding the use and discharge of legal fireworks.
OPTIONS:
Receive and file staff report including police operation plan or request additional information from staff.

POLICE OPERATIONS PLAN FOR ILLEGAL FIREWORKS

EFFECTIVE
JUNE 17-JULY 16
1.
Identification of areas within the City where illegal fireworks were a problem in the previous
year.
The Police Department has identified the areas described as The Parklands and Will-O-Point
as those areas most affected by illegal fireworks.
2.
Detailed explanation of the deployment of law enforcement personnel to deal with those
troublesome areas as well with the balance of the City.
The Police Department provides routine patrol to those areas which present the most problems
on a daily basis when staffing levels permit and during the course of the patrol officers duties.
Increased patrols with targeted enforcement will occur in specific areas when deemed necessary.
3.
A report on the apparatus and personnel wholl be on duty for the period mentioned above
and more particularly on the 1st through the 5th of July.
The Police Department will provide uniformed patrol to those areas described above through
June 17 and July 16 when staffing levels permit. As it relates to Independence Day, the Police
Department will set up a command post at City Hall and with the assistance of allied agencies and
conduct a mass canvass of the Parklands utilizing officers on foot patrol. Officers assigned to
the Parklands will directly target the troublesome areas and seek out illegal fireworks violators.
Officers will also be assigned to the remaining areas of the City, not demeaned as troublesome, in
patrol units.
4.
Recommendations on and discussion of what, if any, dedicated illegal fireworks enforcement

patrols there should be for that year.
The Police Department is coordinating, as in years past, with members of the Lakeport Fire
Department, California Department of Forestry, Lake County Sheriffs Department, Clearlake
Police Department, Lake County Probation Department, Lake County District AttorneyInvestigations Division, California Highway Patrol, and California State Parks-Law Enforcement
Division-Clearlake Sector to provide personnel during Independence Day throughout the
Parklands and Will-O-Point. Patrol units will provide patrol coverage to the identified problem
areas and other areas demeaned to be troublesome, as well as continuing to provide public
safety services throughout the city.

RE: 2016-17 Budget Adoption
SUBMITTED BY:
MEETING DATE:
6/21/2016
Margaret Silveira, City Manager
PURPOSE OF REPORT:
Information only
Discussion
Action Item

Adopt the operating and capital expenditure budget for the 2016-17 fiscal year and associated resolution.
Lakeport, our hometown, is in transformation. Over the last several years - and despite significant challenges we have invested millions of dollars in infrastructure to make our community a beautiful, safe place to for our
citizens (and visitors) to live, work, and play. We look to complete this work in the coming year and turn our
attention to other areas of critical need, including ways to make this organization a premier place in which to
work, this City a destination to visit and enjoy, this region an area of economic growth, and Lakeport self-reliant
and strong through enhancing general revenues and other resources. We are transforming from a place of
economic recovery to one of hope and opportunity.
The coming fiscal year, 2016-17, we look to build on this transformation process. Enhanced service delivery,
economic vitality, and a high quality of life are the overall goals. I have highlighted already the needs we will
focus on addressing, but an integral component to the process rests with the City Council the elected
governing body for our community. The City Council has set its sights on these goals through its budget. It has
established objectives to enhance our participation in regional economic development activities; improve the
safety, health, and security of it citizenry; and bolster service delivery by enhancing the Citys commitment to its
people.
Moving forward during this transformation is something far more significant than what City staff and Council
alone can do. It requires community involvement and participation from our citizenry. We look to move away
from the traditional concept of City-customer to one of City-citizen. Collaboration between all stakeholders:
residents, businesses, City staff, and everyone else who calls Lakeport home is vitally important in this effort. It
will be the moment of the citizen, our community, our hometown. Its time to unleash the power working
together can yield.
2015-16 FISCAL YEAR IN REVIEW
Another busy year is close to wrapping up for the Citys dedicated and hardworking staff. More long hours and
hard work were involved in the planning of several critical projects, including the Downtown Main Street
revitalization, USDA water and sewer infrastructure rehab, and various road resurfacing and rehab efforts, just
Page 1
Agenda Item #VII.C.1.
to name a few. This was in addition to the regular day-to-day work that staff attended to and in the face of
significant challenges brought on by changes to staffing and minimal growth to general revenues.
These are just some of the accomplishments my staff realized in 2015-16:
Water projects funded by the USDA were completed, with the exception of the SCADA system
replacement (shared with sewer) that was impaired by the lighting storm we experienced in April. Bond
documents for the water loan and grant funding were approved by Council in May, and the project is expected
to be closed out by August, 2016.
The start of construction on the Downtown Main Street revitalization project. Its completion
will signal a renaissance for the downtown corridor, inviting new businesses and customers to invest and shop.
Road projects completed during the year included:

o
Parallel Drive
Mellor Drive
Various neighborhood streets
A new audio/video system for the council chambers, which will help better facilitate public
meetings not only for the City Council but for all groups who utilize the chambers to conduct public meetings.
Enhanced grant funding was awarded to the City. The Community Development Block Grant
awarded in 2014 was modified to include the rehabilitation of Carnegie Library to allow ADA access to the
community. Additionally, more funding was included as part of the grant program to issue additional business
loans.
Over $200,000 was awarded to local businesses in the form of low-interest loans to employ
more people and start or enhance their operations. Successful participants in the program included:
GFOA.
The Shoebox
OMeara Brothers Brewery
Champion Accounting

maintenance.
on the lake.
Installed a new restroom facility at the 5th Street boat ramp to better serve those who recreate
Restructured a portion of the unfunded accrued actuarial liability (UAAL) with CalPERS, saving
the City and its tax payers over $850,000 in interest costs over the next 15 years.
Management continued to reach out to local businesses with a personal visit to each. Dozens
were visited. It is not only an opportunity to hear from them as to their needs, but also it is an opportunity for
staff to share with them the opportunities to grow and network. As difficult as it may be for the management
team to pull away from their ongoing duties to get out and make those rounds, the reward of gratitude from a
listened to business community always outweighs the difficulties.
The City of Lakeport continues to support and lead the regional economic efforts through the
Regional Economic Development Committee. Partnering with local colleges, tribes, business and civic groups,
the City of Clearlake, and the County of Lake, we made significant progress to creating a business environment
of collaboration, communication, and support. Some of the regional efforts accomplished by the Regional
Economic Development Committee are, the chalk wall I love Lake County because of leading to the second
annual Leadership Summit in Lucerne. The City continues to strive to ensure our businesses thrive and to
promote investment from outside the region.
Page 2

We made more great additions to our team and were successful in retaining a few in the face of
temptations of higher pay and benefits from elsewhere. But we hold ourselves to a high standard as well,
promoting transparency and accountability in everything we do.
The Citys second annual report was issued for 2015, highlighting service delivery and
community feedback on the Citys efforts during the year.
Implementation of self-funding healthcare costs through REMIF. The transition was relatively
smooth from the Citys perspective, but the benefits realized are not yet fully known. The coming year will
provide us greater insight.
Finally, we did all this under significant fiscal constraint. Revenues are up but so are our liabilities; promises of
the past will continue to affect our progress in the future. We have begun planning to meet those
commitments, and I am confident that we will do so while still maintaining the highest level of service possible.
THE BUDGET YEAR, 2015-16
Working closely with staff, the City Council, and my Management Team, I have developed a budget strategy to
complete the planning work weve started and deliver the highest quality municipal services at the lowest
possible cost.
We began our process even earlier this year than in years past. During the Council-Management strategic
planning and goals setting session in February, new City objectives for 2016-17 were developed. They include
the following and are presented in order of strongest support by council:
1.
Enhance recruitment and retention strategies to maintain current authorized staffing.
2.
Explore new revenue sources and options for public safety, roads, parks, and other City services
3.
Participate regionally, which includes State and County agencies to address homelessness.
My job as the City Manager is to implement programs, activities, and directives to meet these goals.
Department heads have tailored their individual departmental goals with these priorities in mind and structured
their budgets accordingly. Additional priorities also were identified during the budget process, and we worked
to finance those activities accordingly. Specifically, I have asked them to focus on activities that enhance public
safety, reduce costs (particularly in regards to long-term liabilities), and bolster civic engagement.
An important element of civic engagement includes increased participation in our neighborhoods. Efforts will
continue to increase the number of Neighborhood Watch areas. This is one of the primary areas where
residents can help their neighborhoods be safe. No matter how many police officers any city employs the best
defense for crime in a neighborhood is neighbors watching out for each other. The City will continue its National
Night out event in hopes of bringing more awareness to safety and community policing.
Solar power is not only a viable, environmentally responsible resource, it also has the potential to generate
significant cost savings. Council has voiced strong support for the City to pursue its implementation, and it will
continue to be a key focus for us in the coming year. A plan and financing strategy were approved by Council
this year, and staff are moving forward with it expeditiously, starting with the CEQA process. The potential cost
savings to the City and its citizenry are significant and worth the effort to bring the project to completion.
One of our greatest cost challenges in the 2015-16 and future budgets is in the realm of pensions and retiree
health insurance obligations. We took bold steps to ensure the City is positioned well to meet those challenges
successfully. We look to do the same in regards to other post-employment benefits (OPEB), through execution
of a strategy to begin prefunding the Citys obligation to provide retirement health benefits, as well as other
ways to reduce the overall liability.
OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS
Page 3
Fiscal year 2015-16 was another year of capital projects. In 2016-17, project completion will continue to be a
focus, but strong emphasis will be placed on our people, recruiting and retaining the best our community can
afford. The following are the highlights of whats to come:
Personnel. We continue to strive to fully staff our City ranks to relieve the heavy load on existing staff while
providing the highest quality service possible. Although we all continue to wear many different hats, the goal is
to prevent burn-out from overwork while maintaining a challenging work environment for all staff members.
We also look to bolster compensation with select labor groups, starting with the police officers.
In terms of total compensation, Lakeport has fallen behind its closest neighbors including the County of Lake
and lost its completive edge in recruitment and retention. It is a common theme across the state but
particularly challenging in our region where local revenues are extremely limited but competition in the labor
marketplace is fierce. We are moving to address the issue aggressively.
Other notable personnel considerations in 2016-17 include:
o
Appropriation for a 12th sworn police officer. Council authorized use of one-time budget
surplus money to carry this position for the 2016-17 year; however, no funding has been identified to continue it
beyond.
o
Appropriation for a 13th sworn school resource officer. This position is temporarily funded
through a combination of money from the Lakeport Unified School District and the states BSCC program. There
is no further available funding identified beyond the 2016-17 budget year.
o
Delayed hiring of approved positions in Community Development and Administration. Although
each department is approved to hire a Planning/Building Technician and Administrative Specialist I, respectively,
the hiring of those positions is being delayed until January 2017.
o
Public Works Maintenance Worker I position not funded in 2016-17. Due to proposed reduced
general fund activities in the department, this vacancy will not be filled for the year.
o
Public Works Director and City Engineer positions to be combined and recruited as one. It is
unusual for a City the size of Lakeport to have a full-time City Engineer position; however, for Lakeport it is a
necessity. We engage in a number of activities that require in-house engineering expertise and services. We are
also in need of a Public Works Director to fill the current vacancy and oversee our largest department. Many
agencies combine the positions. We intend to borrow from that model.
Citizen engagement. We look to renew and strengthen enduring relationships with businesses and residents
and interact our community not as customers but as citizens. We will better our communication with them as
we enhance customer service. Partnerships are critical in this regard, and we are committed to bringing about a
rejuvenation of civic engagement.
Service delivery. Finding efficiencies in the manner and method of the services we provide has been a tenet of
ours since my tenure as City Manager began. This year will be no different as we look to reduce costs through
the implementation of best practices, including harnessing opportunities presented through advancements in
technology. Additionally, we look to take on the challenge of expanding our customer service responsibilities,
incorporating all commercial solid waste billing.
Restructuring long-term obligations. The Citys CalPERS UAAL mentioned earlier was just the first in a series of
debt restructuring we look to achieve in the coming year, all in the effort of saving our community money in
interest costs.
Maintaining a strong push for economic development. We must maintain our involvement in promoting not
only our city, but the region. Collaboration has always been the key, and pushing forward will take strong will
and determination from every stakeholder. The City will continue to lead in this endeavor. We intend to
continue strong support for the Main Street Association and the Chamber of Commerce. Furthermore, the
completion of the Downtown Main Street revitalization project and renovation of Carnegie Library will serve as
an economic boon for the downtown corridor.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
I present a balanced operating budget for fiscal year 2016-17. It was a very difficult spending plan to prepare.
Increasing demands on public safety services and related personnel costs resulted in management
recommending a strategy that focused more than ever before on officer recruitment and retention.
Unfortunately, City resources are extremely limited, and costs had to be saved elsewhere to make this move
possible. The following highlight the results of strategy as well as other items of note.
Roads and infrastructure. General fund services for roads and infrastructure are proposed to be reduced by
43% from estimated total general fund expenditures in 2015-16 and over 55% from the year prior. Some of this
reduction will be offset by increased appropriations from the Citys HUTA fund. This means that road and
infrastructure maintenance will be limited to emergency services, critical road repair, and support of water and
sewer operations in the public rights-of way only.
Public safety. Total appropriations for public safety out of the general fund are recommended to be increased
by over 13 percent from an estimated year-end in 15-16 of $1.77 million to $2.0 million in 16-17. The majority
of this increase is directed at staffing to hire additional officers and enhance compensation for sworn positions.
Total public safety expenditures as a share of total general fund expenditures is expected to rise from 43% in 1516 to over 47% in 16-17.
Use of the general fund. The use of general fund resources by department are proposed as the following:

The general fund will remain well capitalized with a strong reserve, but regular, ongoing revenues are simply not
keeping pace with current costs and prohibit the general fund from maintaining both heightened public safety
and general Public Works expenditures beyond the 2016-17 year.
Water and sewer enterprises. These funds will strengthen further, and we intend to engage more in
maintenance and capital activities in those funds, even while we reduce services in the general fund. We
propose to keep this strategy in place for the next two fiscal year, unless additional revenues can be realized for
the general fund, allowing for general service levels in Public Works to be reinstated or even enhanced.
Liability and workers comp insurance. Costs are expected to remain relatively flat compared to FY 2015-16.
Health insurance costs are anticipated to rise by 9 percent.
Page 5
REVENUES:
General revenues driven by sales tax continue to improve, albeit slowly. Sales tax in particular is our most
important revenue source and the reason our focus on economic development is so critical. We have taken a
careful approach at estimating where these revenues might lead and monitor them quarterly.
Total city-wide revenues are expected to be higher by over $1.1 million compared to fiscal year
2015-16. This is the result of water and sewer rate adjustments as well as expected grant funding from CDBG
and for the Lakeshore storm damage repair project.
Sales tax revenues including those derived from Measure I continue to trend positively. We
estimate this source to increase slightly from the prior fiscal year, largely driven by automotive sales. Gas prices,
however, dampen the gains we see, resulting in only 2-3 percent revenue growth.
Property tax revenue in fiscal year 2016-17 will remain steady with little effective growth. It is
the second most influential general revenue source but a distant one compared to sales tax. Regardless, as the
housing market continues to improve, so does the Citys fiscal well-being.
State and federal public safety grants will be maintained in fiscal year 2016-17. This is a
significant resource to support our Police Department, without which the City would face significant difficulty
maintaining public safety service levels. We expect to continue receiving revenue from this source for the
foreseeable future.
Franchise fees, permit fees, fees for service, and other charges are expected to remain flat over
the course of the fiscal year with possible decrease. These revenues go to support general City operations, such
as building, engineering, and planning services.
fiscal year.
All other general fund revenues are estimated to remain relatively unchanged from the prior
Road monies from the state generated by local sales taxes, including the highway user tax
(HUTA), will once again be down from just a few years ago. Lower gas prices at the pump are primarily
responsible for the decrease. However, the governor has appropriated additional funding from the states
general fund to augment it. We anticipate approximately $107,613 more in 2016-17 state road money.
The City will continue to serve as the Successor Agency to the former RDA and will be entitled to
an administrative allowances to offset operating costs associated with the dissolution of the agency and the
retirement of its obligations. This is an important financial resource to the City in ensuring a smooth transition
away from redevelopment. The allowance was reduced over 22 percent from 2015-16 by the state, but future
state action to reduce it further is not expected for another few years.
Water and sewer enterprise activities will continue to experience increased costs; however, the
restructured water and sewer rate schedules will continue to sustain these enterprise activities, with a focus on
enhanced maintenance activities including inflow and infiltration (I&I) identification/mitigation, infrastructure
rehabilitation, and reserve building.
We will continue to evaluate and recommend changes to the Citys fee structure to ensure fiscal
sustainability in those activities that have specific benefit to users. Also, we expect to reach finality on the issue
of the South Main Street annexation and in other areas that promote responsible and effective community
growth.
Finally, we will continue to explore new sources of revenue aggressively including a potential
revenue measure on the ballot before voters in November, 2016 to ensure the City can maintain vital services
to the community, including public safety, infrastructure maintenance/improvements, and parks and recreation.
Though we are optimistic the community will support the Citys efforts, this budget does not assume any new,
general revenues in the coming year.
Page 6
EXPENDITURES:
The management team has been relentless with expenditure controller in making sure that the Citys budget
remains structurally balanced. Truly it is a team effort.
The following are changes of note in fiscal year 2016-17 budget from 2015-16 estimated actuals:
Salaries and benefits City-wide will be 18.6 percent ($877,423) higher from the end of fiscal year
2015-16 from filling vacant, budgeted positions; additional positions in the police department; increased salaries
to all labor groups (one-time only for non-safety personnel) and to cover increased health and pension costs.
Please see the personnel schedule later in this document for additional detail on recommended staffing
changes.
Operating expenditures City-wide are expected to decrease by nearly 10 percent ($190,183)

resulting primarily from less need of professional services and reduced energy costs with the adoption of solar
power.
Loans and grants are expected to increase $109,014 from the prior year. The primary activity in
this category will be the issuance of additional business loans through the CDBG grant program.
Debt service is anticipated to increase by $5.1 million primarily due to the full repayment of
interim financing to Bank of Nevada. Additionally, CalPERS UAAL restructuring note with Umpqua Bank and the
USDA water and sewer bonds enter into repayment; however, payment of the Umpqua Bank loan is more than
offset by expenditure savings to CalPERS, a cash flow benefit to the City.
Capital expenditures are expected to total $157,444 as we complete the remaining USDA sewer
projects, various road improvements, Carnegie Library renovation, and well as the Downtown Main Street
revitalization.
CAPITAL HIGHLIGHTS
Since adoption of the Citys first formal capital improvement budget in 2013, an incredible amount of work has
been done. Many of the over 80 projects identified in the plan have been completed or are nearing completion,
and staff is pushing hard to prepare an updated five-year plan for mid-year 2016-17. Our goal has been, and
continues to be, to focus on those projects which will yield the greatest return on investment or that are in the
most urgent need of attention.
I am recommending specific projects and capital outlays for 2016-17 that represent the most critical of the Citys
needs and the best use of resources for capital purposes. The following are some of particular note. A full list
can be found in the Budget in Brief Section.
CAPITAL PROJECTS:
Completion of Bevins Street project
Completion of the Downtown Main Street Revitalization Project
Lakeshore Storm Damage Rehab Project
Completion of structural modification to new Lakeport Police Department
Carnegie Library ADA Project and Ceiling Repairs
Police car replacement
The capital outlay plan that I have proposed unfortunately is not sustainable with ongoing resources beyond this
upcoming year and is funded almost entirely out of one-time sources, including long-term, low-interest loans
and grants. It does not result in a reduction of spending elsewhere. No new additional staff are expected to be
needed to complete these projects, as most of the work will be done by outside contractors. Nonetheless, it is a
critical investment for us to make in addressing our aging infrastructure and to support our efforts to grow our
local economy.
Page 7
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
The focus of our economic development efforts must remain on business retention. The Citys commitment to
economic development must be maintained through active advisement by the Lakeport Economic Development
Advisory Committee (LEDAC) and in collaboration with the Main Street Association, the Chamber of Commerce,
and the Countys marketing program.
Staff has been very active in pursuing a regional economic development approach. The County of Lake, with
approximately 64,000 population, is not much more populated that a mid-size city in California. It is important
for both the City of Lakeport and Clearlake, to partner with the County of Lake in marketing and promoting the
area through a regional approach. As funding becomes scarce for activities outside of core municipal services,
the need for regional cooperation becomes more apparent. A working group from both cities and the County
continues with regular meetings to discuss the opportunities and the structure of a regional economic entity. It
is important to remember that as our regional partners prosper, so do we.
At this time the City has appropriated over $3 million to complete the Downtown Main Street project. Although
we refer to this as a capital project, its goal is largely one of economic development. It is meant to be a catalyst,
a spark to ignite resurgence of business development, tourism, and community participation the downtown
area. This will be our greatest effort in the coming year to create an environment where business investment
can occur and our vacant store fronts can finally be filled.
FINANCIAL POSITION
During the past six years, my approach to the budget process has been conservative in estimating available
resources and diligent in controlling spending. This has led to a current projected year-end surplus and
fortification of the Citys general fund reserve. We estimate the total reserves to begin the 2016-17 fiscal year at
69% of budgeted appropriations, general reserves being at the requisite 25%. The Management Team has been
dedicated to cost savings whenever possible and watchful of their expenditures so that the need to use reserves
is limited, if necessary at all.
I am proposing a balanced general fund for fiscal year 2016-17 with a recommended use of an estimated surplus
from the past five fiscal years of $243,714. This use of this surplus will be for the following one-time purposes,
as outlined in City budget policies:

The end result is an estimated budgetary surplus in the general fund of $34,962, which I recommend be retained
as reserve for future use or to maintain budgetary appropriations should revenue estimates come up short. The
Page 8
current reserve is adequate to ensure financial stability. Beyond use of the past surplus, I am not recommending
any additional use of the reserves.
As was forecast in the utility rate study, the water operating fund is expected to be adequate to fund operations.
With the revenues from the rate restructuring, I expect water enterprise operations to continue recapitalizing its
reserves with funding available for additional investments in infrastructure and other capital items.
The sewer operating fund is expected to be in a more favorable position, as current operational costs should be
less than available revenues from customers. Like the water enterprise, the sewer operating fund will be
devoted to building up the reserve and engaging in much needed maintenance (particularly I&I) and capital
improvements beyond those funded by the USDA.
LOOKING AHEAD
My recommended 2016-17 budget is a prudent and careful expenditure plan focusing on project completion,
enhancing public safety, and positioning the City to strengthen its human capital. Some of it is funded by onetime revenue sources - such as grant and loan funding - and available fund balance that has accumulated from
past budgetary surpluses. But operationally, it is balanced structurally and sustainable fiscally.
As I mentioned in the past, our activities related to capital investment are not sustainable in the long-term.
One-time monies have been the overwhelming source of funding for the millions of dollars spent over the last 5
years. New projects, funded by general revenues in particular, will be difficult to plan and execute. With
prudent fiscal, operational, and capital management, however, our efforts to work together for our communitys
success will bear fruit.
We know the greatest concerns and service demands for the citizens of Lakeport: public safety, roads and
infrastructure, and a high quality of life. Not only do we serve this community as professionals, we live here as
well and call Lakeport our hometown. This spending plan was developed in this context, and resources are
being maximized to provide the greatest benefit possible to the community. But we will fall short in our efforts
without new general revenue to support it. Service delivery will continue to erode as costs increase (despite all
the work we have done to reduce them). General infrastructure maintenance will continue to be deferred with
the exception of only the most critical of needs. And our workforce the lifeblood of this organization will
weaken as the City struggles to find the resources to retain and recruit high-quality staff; service delivery is what
we do, and our people are who provide it. Finding a reasonable source of new revenue and coalescing
community support around it will not only ensure vital City services are maintained but also it may allow the City
to enhance and add new services to the benefit of the entire community.
I want again to thank the entire staff of the City of Lakeport for the hard work and endurance theyve
demonstrated over the last few years. They continue to impress me by what theyve achieved with such limited
resources. To my Management Team, I owe particular thanks. Preparation of this budget would not have been
possible without their planning efforts and willingness to work collaboratively with the Citys best interest at
heart.
And to the City Council, again I praise you for the leadership you have demonstrated and extend my sincerest
gratitude for the trust you place in your professional management team. As always, your support makes our job
more rewarding and compels us to perform at our best.
