PURPOSE OF REPORT:

Discussion
Action Item
WHAT IS BEING ASKED OF THE CITY COUNCIL/BOARD:

The City of Lakeport City Council, the City of Lakeport Municipal Sewer District (CLMSD) and the City of Lakeport
Redevelopment Successor Agency are asked to adopt a revised Conflict of Interest Code.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
The Political Reform Act, Government Code Section 81000, requires state and local government agencies to
adopt and promulgate Conflict of Interest Codes. The code designates positions required to file a Statement of
Economic Interests, Form 700, and assigns disclosure categories specifying the types of interests to be reported.
The Form 700 is a public document intended to alert public officials and the public to the types of financial
interest that may create a conflict of interest. The Political Reform Act also requires every government agency
to amend its conflict of interest code when changed circumstances necessitate an amendment and review its
conflict of interest code biennially to determine if changed circumstances require an amended to the conflict of
interest code.
After review of the City of Lakeport Conflict of Interest code, staff has determined that the code requires a small
number of non-substantive amendments. First, there are two positions that require deletion as they are no
longer used: Housing Specialist and Planning Services Manager. The duties of those positions have been
absorbed by other positions already designated in the code. Second, the City Clerk has been combined with the
Administrative Services Director to account for organizational changes. The existing code is presented in both
strikethrough format and a finalized version for adoption. All three agencies are asked to adopt the code.
OPTIONS:
The Council could reject the changes or request additional changes to the Conflict of Interest Code.

STAFF REPORT
RE: Minor Amendments & Revisions to the Lakeport Municipal
Code
SUBMITTED BY:
MEETING DATE:
10/06/2015
Kevin M. Ingram, Community Development Director
PURPOSE OF REPORT:
Information only
Discussion
Action Item

The City Council is being asked to conduct a public hearing to consider three separate minor amendments and
revisions to the Lakeport Municipal Code:
A) Addition of Section 15.24 relating to expedited permitting procedures for small residential rooftop solar
systems.
B) Repealing Section 5.04.160.H imposing additional licensing fees on fortunetellers
C) Amending Section 10.12.180 to allow for the issuance of special parking permits for residential units in
the central business district without access to on-site parking.
On September 15, 2015 the aforementioned minor amendments and revisions to the Lakeport Municipal Code
were introduced and an opportunity for public comment was provided. Following discussion, the City Council
made a motion to introduce the proposed Municipal Code revisions and a public hearing was scheduled for
October 6, 2015. The City Clerk prepared a legal notice that was published in the Record-Bee and Lake County
News.
An overview of the proposed minor amendments and revisions to the Lakeport Municipal Code are provided
below:
A.
Small Residential Rooftop Solar Energy System Review Process:
Pursuant to the enactment of AB 2188 in September of 2014 Section 65850.5(g)(1) requires that, on or before
September 30, 2015, every city and county must adopt an ordinance that creates an expedited, streamlined
permitting process for small residential rooftop solar energy systems. The attached ordinance is intended to
satisfy this requirement. The ordinance codifies the requirements of Section 55850.5(g)(1), such as accepting
and approving applications electronically, directing the Citys Building Official to develop a checklist of all
requirements with which small rooftop solar energy systems shall comply to be eligible for expedited review,
and authorizing the Building Official to administratively approve such applications.
B.
Repealing Sections of the Municipal Code Imposing Additional Licensing Fees on Fortunetellers
It was recently brought to the attention of City staff that the business license regulations of the Lakeport
Municipal Code (Section 5.04), originally adopted in 1959 imposes special licensing fees upon fortunetellers.
Fortunetelling constitutes protected speech under both the First Amendment of the United States and California
Meeting Date: October 6, 2015
Page 1
Agenda Item #VI.A.
State Constitutions. As a result, the City may not impose an additional fee to engage in this activity, as it
represents an impermissible prior restraint on speech. The proposed ordinance repeals the specific sections of
the Lakeport Municipal Code which imposes special licensing fees upon fortunetellers.
C.
Special Parking Permits for Residential Units in the Central Business District without access to On-Site
Parking
As the Council is aware, the existing configuration, shape and size of lots within the historic downtown business
district makes it difficult for businesses to comply with the Citys parking provisions. Currently, there are a
couple of existing residential units within the downtown area that do not have access to on-site parking and are
surrounded by timed parking zones. Section 10.12.180 of the Lakeport Municipal Code provides the Chief of
Police with the ability to issue parking permits for special uses including overtime parking within specially
designated timed spaces but only for a maximum of three days. Consistent with General Plan Policy CD 6.1
which promotes mixed use development within the Central Business District through the use of flexible parking
standards, staff is recommending that Section 10.12.180 be amended to allow the Chief of Police the ability to
issue annual parking permits to qualifying residences within the central business district. Such permits would be
limited to one per residence and would allow for overtime parking within designated 2 and 4 hour parking zones
not located directly in front of commercial store fronts.
OPTIONS:
1. After conducting the public hearing and consideration of the proposed minor amendments and revisions to
the Lakeport Municipal Code adopt the proposed Ordinances as presented by staff.

subdivision may be amended, renumbered, or redesignated from time to time.
15.24.030 Duties of the Building Department

B. All documents required for the submission of an expedited solar energy system
application shall be made available on the Citys website.
C. An applicant may submit the permit application and associated documentation to
the Citys Building Department in person, by mail, or by electronic submittal along with
the permit fee.
D. In the case of electronic submittal, an applicants electronic signature shall be
accepted on all forms, application and other documents in lieu of a wet signature. For
purposes of this Section, the City will accept as an electronic signature an electronic
155326.1
copy, such as a facsimile image or an electronic image (such as a PDF), of an applicants

original signature.
15.24.040 Permit Review and Inspection Requirements
A. Prior to submitting an application, the applicant shall:
1. Verify to the applicants reasonable satisfaction through the use of standard
engineering evaluation techniques that the support structure for the small
residential rooftop solar energy system is stable and adequate to transfer all
wind, seismic, and dead and live loads associated with the system to the building
foundation; and
2. At the applicants cost, verify to the applicants reasonable satisfaction using
standard electrical inspection techniques that the existing electrical system
including existing line, load, ground and bonding wiring as well as main panel
and subpanel sizes are adequately sized, based on the existing electrical
systems current use, to carry all new photovoltaic electrical loads.
B. An application that satisfies the information requirements in the checklist, as
determined by the building official, shall be deemed complete. Upon receipt of an
incomplete application, the building official shall issue a written correction notice
detailing all deficiencies in the application and any additional information required to
be eligible for expedited permit issuance.
C. For a small residential rooftop solar energy system eligible for expedited review, only
one inspection shall be required, which shall be done in a timely manner and may

residential rooftop solar energy system fails inspection, a subsequent inspection is
authorized; however the subsequent inspection need not conform to the requirements
of this subsection.
D. Upon confirmation by the building official of the application and supporting
documentation being complete and meeting the requirements of the checklist, the
building official shall administratively approve the application and issue all required
permits or authorizations. Such approval does not authorize an applicant to connect the

applicant is responsible for obtaining such approval or permission from the local utility
provider.

Ordinance to any other person or circumstance and, to that end, the provisions hereof
are severable.
SECTION 3. CEQA. The project is exempt from environmental review per CEQA
Guidelines under the General Rule (Section 15061(b)(3)). The project involves updates
and revisions to existing regulations. The proposed code amendments are consistent
with California Law, specifically Government Code section 65850.5 and Civil Code
section 714. It can be seen with certainty that the proposed Municipal Code text
amendments will have no significant negative effect on the environment.
SECTION 4. Effective Date. This ordinance shall take effect thirty (30) days after
adoption as provided by Government Code section 36937.
SECTION 5. Certification. The City Clerk shall certify to the passage and

SECTION 10.12.180 OF THE LAKEPORT MUNICIPAL CODE TO ALLOW FOR THE
ISSUANCE OF SPECIAL PARKING PERMITS FOR RESIDENTIAL UNITS IN THE
CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT WITHOUT ACCESS TO ON-SITE PARKING
WHEREAS, the Community Design Element of the Lakeport General Plan and the

Business District and encourage flexible parking standards for mixed land uses (General
Plan Policy CD 6.1); and
WHEREAS, mixed land uses are critical to achieving great places to live, work,
play and shop; and
WHEREAS, mixed land uses also convey substantial fiscal and economic benefits
because commercial uses in close proximity to residential areas often have higher
property values and therefore help increase local tax revenues; and
WHEREAS, the existing configuration, shape and size of lots within the historic
downtown business district limits the ability of existing properties with residential units
above first floor commercial establishments to meet the required on-site parking
provisions of the Zoning Ordinance.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LAKEPORT DOES ORDAIN AS
FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1.

a property owner or tenant of a residence without access to on-site parking within the
central business zoning district subject to the following requirements:

1.
Permit shall allow for parking within designated 2 and 4 hour
parking zones not located in front of a business or commercial building.
2.
Permit shall be limited to one vehicle per verified residence.
3.
Permit shall be renewed annually.
SECTION 2. Severability: Should any provision of this Ordinance, or its

application to any person or circumstance, be determined by a court of competent

Ordinance to any other person or circumstance and, to that end, the provisions hereof
are severable.
SECTION 3. CEQA. This ordinance is not a project subject to the California

SECTION 5. Certification. The City Clerk shall certify to the passage and
adoption of this Ordinance and shall give notice of its adoption as required by law.

RE: Formation of Lakeport Industrial Development Authority,
Ordinance Adoption
SUBMITTED BY:
MEETING DATE:
10/6/2015
Daniel Buffalo, Finance Director
PURPOSE OF REPORT:
Information only
Discussion
Action Item

Conduct a public hearing on and adopt Ordinance No._________ establishing the Lakeport Industrial
Development Authority.
The Lakeport Public Financing Authority (the Prior Authority) was formed in 2000 under a joint Exercise of
Powers Agreement between the City and the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Lakeport (the RDA), which
has now become the successor agency (the Successor Agency). By action of the California legislature, as
confirmed by the California Supreme Court (the Dissolution Act), all redevelopment agencies in California,
including the RDA, were dissolved on February 1, 2012. Therefore, as a result of the Dissolution Act, the current
parties to the joint powers agreement are technically the City and the Successor Agency.
The Dissolution Act provides that the Successor Agency will terminate its existence by operation of law within
one year following the date when all debt of the Successor Agency has been retired or paid off. The final
Successor Agency bond payment is September 1, 2038. It is commonly understood that an existing joint powers
agency that has outstanding bonds at the time of the Dissolution Act can retain its existence through the final
maturity of the existing bonds; however, for new bond issues, it is recommended that a new joint powers
agency be formed.
For the reasons stated above, staff recommends that a new joint exercise of powers authority be created (which
will be called the Lakeport Joint Powers Authority), and proposes that the City first form a new entity titled the
Lakeport Industrial Development Authority (the IDA), to serve as the other member of the Lakeport Joint
Powers Authority (the Authority). By creating a new authority that does not include the RDA as a member, the
City will have an entity that can issue the bonds and participate in future financings without any question as to
its legal status.
The City is presently in the process of structuring and preparing several transactions for bond issuances, each of
which will benefit from the use of the Authority, including the police station and water bond financings with
USDA.
Creating the IDA requires the adoption of an ordinance by the City Council.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF LAKEPORT FORMING THE LAKEPORT
INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY
WHEREAS, the City of Lakeport (the City) has determined there is a need in the City for an
industrial development authority to be formed under the California Industrial Development
Financing Act, Title 10 (commencing with Section 91500) of the California Government Code (the
Act); and
WHEREAS, the Act provides that there is in each public agency, including the City, a public,
corporate instrumentality of the State of California, known as the industrial development authority
of the City (the IDA), and that such IDA shall not transact any business or exercise any powers
under the Act unless, by ordinance, the City Council, as the governing body of the City, declares
that there is a need for such IDA and that such IDA shall function; and
WHEREAS, the Act further provides the public purposes for such industrial development authority
are to increase opportunities for useful employment or otherwise contribute to economic
development and that the need for the establishment of an industrial development authority in the
achievement of such purposes is based upon findings that industry requires the new and alternative
method of capital finance that such authorities can provide in order for it to undertake the
acquisition, construction or rehabilitation of facilities the use of which will serve those public
purposes.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LAKEPORT DOES
HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Findings. Pursuant to the Act, the City Council hereby finds and declares that there is a
need for an IDA to function in the City.
Section 2. Organization. The industrial development authority of the City, which is established by
the Act, is hereby declared organized and shall function under the name Lakeport Industrial
Development Authority.
Section 3. Powers and Authority. The Authority shall be authorized to transact business and
exercise all of the powers and other authority conferred upon industrial development authorities by
the Act.
Section 4. Jurisdiction. The jurisdiction of the IDA to undertake projects shall be coincident as to
territory with the territory of the City.
Section 5. Certification and Publication. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this
Ordinance and shall cause the same to be published in the manner prescribed by law.
Section 5. Effective Date. This Ordinance shall take effect thirty (30) days after its passage.

SUBMITTED BY:

Daniel Buffalo, Finance Director
PURPOSE OF REPORT:
Information only
Discussion
Action Item

The City Council is being asked to appoint council members to serve as signatories for City warrants/checks.
City policy requires that all checks be signed by two authorized signatories. Currently Resolution 2510 (2014)
authorizes the City Manager, Administrative Services Director, City Clerk, Community Development Director, and
two council members appointed by the mayor to have authority to sign checks.
Changes to staff and the council have necessitated revision to the signature card on file with the bank, West
America. Staff recommends the Mayor confirm the council-appointed signatories already appointed or revise
the appointments as deemed appropriate. The Mayor, too, can appoint himself as a signatory.
Staff also request revision to Resolution 2510 (2014) to include the Lakeport Chief of Police as an additional
authorized signatory to further facilitate timely processing of checks/warrants in the event that all other
signatories are unavailable. Although not finding two signatories to complete the warrant issue process is
unlikely, it has occurred on several occasions within the last year.
Additionally, staff request that the Mayor confirm all signatories by name and the City Clerk name those
individuals in the minutes to satisfy the banks request in revising the signature card.
OPTIONS:
1. Confirm the current council signatories as follows: Mayor Scheel, and Council Member Spillman, and
adopt an associated resolution adding the Lakeport Chief of Police as a signatory.
2. Revise the council signatories at the pleasure of the Mayor, and adopt an associated resolution adding
the Lakeport Chief of Police as a signatory.

STAFF REPORT
RE: Resolution providing relief to victims of the Valley Fire from
certain provisions of the Lakeport Municipal Code
SUBMITTED BY:
MEETING DATE:
10/06/2015
Kevin M. Ingram, Community Development Director
PURPOSE OF REPORT:
Information only
Discussion
Action Item

The City Council is being asked to adopt a resolution providing relief to displaced residents of the Valley Fire who
have sought temporary housing within the City of Lakeport from certain provisions of the Lakeport Municipal
Code including:
A) The waiving of maximum thirty (30) day stay allowance at local hotels and other similar establishments.
B) The waiving of initial service and deposit fees associated with new sewer and water connections.
The Valley Fire which began on September 12, 2015 consumed more than 75,000 acres and decimated the
communities of Cobb, Hidden Valley Lake and Middletown. In addition to the loss of four lives the fire
destroyed more than 1200 residences and damaged several hundred other homes and structures displacing
thousands of persons in the south Lake County area. The Valley Fire ranks among the top three most
destructive fires in Californias history.
Rehabilitation and reconstruction efforts of vital infrastructure, homes and affected communities will take
several months to restore and likely several years before full recovery of the area can be achieved. As a result
families who have been displaced as a result of this natural disaster have sought temporary housing in
neighboring communities, including the City of Lakeport. In an effort to reduce the imposition of additional
hardships upon displaced victims of the Valley Fire, City staff is recommending the temporary relaxing of certain
regulations and fees required by the Lakeport Municipal Code.
The attached resolution would allow for victims of the Valley Fire seeking temporary housing at local hotels to
not be limited to the maximum 30 day stay requirements for transient housing and additionally waive initial
service fees and deposit requirements for new water and sewer connections for fire victims seeking temporary
rental housing within the city limits. The proposed resolution is valid for a period of ninety (90) days but may be
extended further by a majority vote of the City Council.
OPTIONS:
Approve the resolution, propose amendments and revisions, or take no action or take action to deny the
proposed Resolution.

A RESOLUTION OF THE LAKEPORT CITY COUNCIL PROVIDING RELIEF TO
DISPLACED RESIDENTS OF THE VALLEY FIRE
WHEREAS, the Valley Fire has destroyed more than 1200 homes and damaged
several hundred additional homes and structures in the communities of Cobb, Hidden
Valley Lake and Middletown in the South Lake County area; and
WHEREAS, thousands of Southern Lake County residents have been displaced
from their homes as a result of fire damage to their homes, property and/or vital
infrastructure in the region; and
WHEREAS, the reconstruction and rehabilitation of the area affected by the
Valley fire is likely to take several months and possibly years to recover; and
WHEREAS, displaced families have sought temporary residence in Lakeport
hotels and available rental properties.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT:
1. The provisions of Chapter 3.20 of the Lakeport Municipal Code limiting the stay of
persons in local hotels and similar establishments to a maximum stay of thirty (30)
days shall be waived for registered and qualifying displaced residents of the Valley
Fire seeking temporary housing within the City of Lakeport.
2. The requirement for the collection of initial service fees and deposits associated
with sewer and water connections pursuant to Chapter 13.20 of the Lakeport
Municipal Code and as established through Resolution No. 2463 (2012) and
Resolution No. 2464 (2012) shall be waived for registered and qualifying displaced
residents of the Valley Fire seeking temporary rental housing within the City of
Lakeport.
This resolution shall be effective upon its adoption and shall remain in effect for
ninety (90) days but may be extended by a majority vote of the Lakeport City Council.
