STAFF REPORT
RE: Water & Sewer Master Plan Updates – Final Acceptance MEETING DATE: 02/17/2026 SUBMITTED BY: Paul Harris, Utilities Director
PURPOSE OF REPORT: Information only Discussion Action Item WHAT IS BEING ASKED OF THE CITY COUNCIL/BOARD:
Approve the 2025 Water & Sewer Master Plan Updates as presented for final acceptance. These were originally presented to council in draft form back on 12/2/2025 with no comments or questions received.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
A Master Plan is a comprehensive, long-term strategy for managing a community's water and wastewater resources to meet current and future needs. It serves as a roadmap for utilities and asset owners to ensure sustainability by addressing issues like infrastructure, population growth, and climate change through detailed financial, technical, and implementation programs.
The last Master Plans were completed back in 2008. Most of the items identified in those plans have been successfully implemented utilizing grant funding, loans and subsequent rate increases. Since nearly exhausting that list, the city felt it was in our best interest to once again invest in a long-term strategy with updated plans.
In June of 2024, Pace Engineering was contracted to update both of the 2008 Plans. This project consisted of the collection of data, multiple site visits, assessing the condition of existing infrastructure and reviewing the impacts of Federal, State and local regulatory agencies. It also included an evaluation of City Ordinances, operations, maintenance and reporting procedures. This data in turn would provide the recommended list of capital improvements and associated cost estimates followed by financing strategies to assist the city with both short- and long-term facility needs. These plans are intended to project the needs over the next 20 years.
Copies of both plans are available for review on our city’s website (https://www.cityoflakeport.com/public_works/water/documents.php) and (https://www.cityoflakeport.com/public_works/sewer/document_center.php).
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
The approval of these Water & Sewer Master Plan Updates is not a project subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines sections 15061(b)(3), 15262, and 15378(b), as these updates are an exercise of general policy making and constitute planning documents studying the City’s current facilities and potential future actions which the City has not approved. This approval does not commit the City to any specific project or have a legally binding effect on later activities which may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment.

STAFF REPORT
RE: Second Reading and Adoption of an Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Lakeport Amending Sections 5.34.020 (“Definitions”) and 5.34.090 (“Commercial Cannabis
Performance Standards) of Chapter 5.34 (“Commercial
Cannabis”) of Title 5 (“Business Taxes, Licenses and
Regulations”) of the Lakeport Municipal Code Regarding
Commercial Cannabis Events
MEETING DATE: 2/17/2026
SUBMITTED BY: Joey Hejnowicz, Community Development Director PURPOSE OF REPORT: Information only Discussion Action Item WHAT IS BEING ASKED OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION:
The Community Development Department recommends that Lakeport City Council introduce and waive the first reading of an Ordinance Amending Sections 5.34.020 (“Definitions”) and 5.34.090 (“Commercial Cannabis Performance Standards) of Chapter 5.34 (“Commercial Cannabis”) of Title 5 (“Business Taxes, Licenses and Regulations”) of the Lakeport Municipal Code Regarding Commercial Cannabis Events.
BACKGROUND
California became the first state to allow medicinal marijuana or cannabis use when voters passed the Compassionate Use Act in 1996. On November 8, 2016, California voters passed Proposition 64, the California Marijuana Legalization Initiative. Proposition 64, commonly referred to as the Adult Use of Marijuana Act, legalized recreational marijuana by allowing adults aged 21 years or older to possess and use marijuana for recreational purposes. The measure created two new excise taxes on marijuana:
• A cultivation tax of $9.25 per ounce for flowers and $2.75 per once for leaves, with exceptions for certain medical marijuana sales and cultivation (the Legislature subsequently ended this cultivation tax on July 1, 2022); and
• A 15 percent tax on the retail price of marijuana that goes to the state.
The main statute for cannabis businesses is in the California Business and Professions Code. It is called the Medicinal and Adult Use Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act (MAUCRSA). MAUCRSA sets up a basic framework for licensing, oversight, and enforcement related to cannabis businesses. In addition to cannabis-specific laws, cannabis businesses must follow the same rules that other businesses in California must follow. For example, there are rules and regulations about waste disposal, protecting the environment, vehicle registration and paying taxes.
Meeting Date: 02/17/2026 Page 2 Agenda Item # IV.F.
The California Department of Cannabis Control (DCC) licenses and regulates cannabis businesses on the state level. DCC regulates the:
• Growing of cannabis plants;
• Manufacture of cannabis products;
• Transportation and tracking of cannabis goods throughout the state; • Sale of cannabis goods;
• Events where cannabis is sold or used; and
• Labeling of goods sold at retail.
All commercial cannabis activity must be licensed by the state. The cannabis industry is strictly regulated to make sure businesses operate safely, products are contaminant free and labeled to inform purchasers and cannabis is kept away from children. DCC’s mission is to facilitate a well-regulated, legal market for cannabis that benefits all Californians.
LAKEPORT COMMERCIAL CANNABIS LANDSCAPE
The Lakeport City Council codified certain commercial cannabis business regulations in 2018 through the creation of Chapter 5.34 (COMMERCIAL CANNABIS) of the Lakeport Municipal Code. Chapter 5.34 regulates commercial cannabis activities in the City and is described in further detail below.
Lakeport Municipal Code - Cannabis Cultivation
The Lakeport Municipal Code allows personal cultivation in these residential zoning districts: Urban Reserve (UR), Low Density Residential (R1), Medium Density Residential (R2), High Density Residential (R3) and Resort/Residential (R5).
Cultivation shall only be permitted in detached, fully enclosed and secure accessory structures and cultivation area shall be limited to eighty square feet per parcel or residence, whichever is less, or six plants. The accessory structure shall be in the rear portion of the lot and maintain a ten-foot setback from the side and rear property lines and from any other building on the parcel. Additionally, the accessory structure used for cannabis cultivation must have a ventilation and filtration system to prevent nuisance cannabis plant odors from exiting the interior of the structure.
Lakeport Municipal Code – Commercial Cannabis Testing
Commercial Cannabis Testing is allowed in the following zoning districts subject to the regulations listed in Chapter 5.34 (Commercial Cannabis) and a Use Permit: Professional Office (PO), Major Retail (C2), Service Commercial (C3), and Industrial (I).

Meeting Date: 02/17/2026 Page 3 Agenda Item # IV.F.
DISCUSSION
The Lake County Fairgrounds CEO recently inquired with City staff regarding the possibility of hosting a temporary cannabis event in Spring 2026 with cannabis retail sales permitted. The Lake County Fairgrounds has expressed interest in hosting a cannabis-related event as part of its broader, year-round event programming strategy intended to increase community engagement, attract visitors, and support the long-term financial sustainability of the Fairgrounds. The Fairgrounds regularly hosts large, managed events and has the infrastructure, staffing capacity, and security experience necessary to accommodate specialized, regulated events.
The proposed cannabis event is envisioned as a springtime gathering designed to showcase and celebrate Lake County’s local cannabis growers and farmers, many of whom are long-standing agricultural producers within the region. The event would combine cannabis-related programming with live music and entertainment to create a destination-style event that highlights Lake County’s unique agricultural identity and emerging cannabis economy.
Allowing on-site cannabis retail sales, consistent with state law and Department of Cannabis Control requirements, is a key component of the event’s viability and prominence. Retail sales are intended to enhance the overall success of the event by attracting licensed participants and attendees, supporting local cannabis businesses, and generating revenue that helps offset event and facility costs. The Fairgrounds has indicated that without retail sales, the scale, draw, and financial feasibility of the event would be significantly diminished.
Overall, the proposed event aligns with the Fairgrounds’ goal of hosting diverse, well-regulated events that support local industry, provide entertainment opportunities for the community, and contribute to the economic vitality of both the Fairgrounds and the broader Lake County region.
Temporary cannabis events that allow on-site sales and consumption are permitted under California state law and regulated by the Department of Cannabis Control, but they are required to be located at a venue expressly approved by the local jurisdiction in which the event is proposed. (4 CCR § 15601, subd. (e).) These events are subject to strict state licensing, age restrictions, security requirements, and operational controls, including limits on duration and location.
Only licensed cannabis businesses may participate in sales, and consumption must occur in secured, non-public areas.
While authorized at the state level, the City of Lakeport currently prohibits cannabis events with on-site sales and consumption under its Municipal Code, meaning such events cannot occur locally unless City regulations are amended or otherwise authorized.
The City of Lakeport proposes a text amendment to zoning ordinance Chapter 5.34 (“Commercial Cannabis”) to allow for permitted temporary cannabis events at the Lake County Fairgrounds. The proposed Ordinance generally prohibits cannabis events within the City, with a limited exception allowing such events only at the Lake County Fairgrounds in conjunction with county fair or district agricultural association events and only in full compliance with state law and all Department of Cannabis Control licensing and conditions.
An application for an amendment to the zoning ordinance shall give the reasons why the amendment is necessary and shall provide information documenting that:
1. The proposed amendment is in the public’s interest.
2. The proposed amendment is consistent with the Lakeport General Plan.
3. The proposed amendment will not be detrimental to the community’s health, safety, and welfare.
4. The proposed amendment complies with the California Government Code and California Environmental Quality Act.
The proposed text amendment to Chapter 5.34 of the Lakeport Municipal Code to allow temporary cannabis retail events at the Lake County Fairgrounds meets the necessary amendment findings as follows:
Meeting Date: 02/17/2026 Page 4 Agenda Item # IV.F.
1. The proposed amendment is in the public’s interest.
The proposed text amendment would allow for only limited cannabis events at the Lake County Fairgrounds (county fair/district agricultural association events) that are in compliance with state law and DCC licensing conditions.
The proposed ordinance serves the public interest by providing a secure, controlled venue for regulated cannabis commerce/education and the potential to generate City tax revenue through an overall increase in tourism/visitation.
2. The proposed amendment is consistent with the Lakeport General Plan.
The General Plan includes economic development policies supporting Lakeport as a year-round visitor/recreation destination and to “continue to support City-wide events and festivals”. Allowing a narrowly defined, regulated event at the Fairgrounds aligns with these General Plan objectives related to events, visitation, and local economic activity.
3. The proposed amendment will not be detrimental to the community’s health, safety, and welfare.
The amendment is structured as a prohibition citywide with a limited exception at a single established venue, and it requires compliance with state law and all DCC license conditions. The draft ordinance further relies on the City’s police power to protect public health, safety, and welfare and finds the event model can be managed through controlled, licensed operations and oversight. The General Plan Safety Element also describes the City’s ongoing police protection capacity and responsiveness to traffic/public safety needs.
4. The proposed amendment complies with the California Government Code and California Environmental Quality Act.
The Lakeport General Plan states that amendments should be processed with findings addressing public interest, plan consistency, no detriment, and compliance with Government Code and CEQA. The draft ordinance cites the City’s police powers under Government Code section 37100 and the City’s authority to regulate cannabis activities/events under MAUCRSA/Business & Professions Code section 26200 (including the state limitation that DCC may only issue temporary event licenses where the local jurisdiction authorizes them) , and it identifies CEQA exemptions under Guidelines sections 15301 (Existing Facilities) and 15061(b)(3) (Common Sense).
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION
The Lakeport Planning Commission reviewed the proposed ordinance amendment at its regular meeting on January 14, 2026. During the meeting, the Planning Commission received a presentation from staff and heard from the Lake County Fairgrounds Chief Executive Officer regarding the operational framework and regulatory requirements for a proposed temporary cannabis event planned for Spring 2026.
Commissioners asked several operational and logistical questions related to event management, security, and regulatory oversight. During discussion, multiple members of the Planning Commission expressed general support for the concept of expanding the allowance for cannabis events beyond the Lake County Fairgrounds to other locations within the City, provided such locations were expressly approved by the City Council.
Staff advised the Planning Commission that expanding the scope of the ordinance at this time could jeopardize the existing timeline for the Fairgrounds’ proposed spring event. Staff further explained that because the Fairgrounds is located on California state property, the proposed event would not require additional local land use entitlements or environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). In contrast, authorizing cannabis events at locations outside the Fairgrounds would likely require a comprehensive CEQA analysis and development of land use and zoning standards, which could be time-intensive and delay implementation.
Meeting Date: 02/17/2026 Page 5 Agenda Item # IV.F.
Staff recommended maintaining the narrowly tailored ordinance approach focused solely on the Lake County Fairgrounds, with the option for the Planning Commission or City Council to revisit broader location eligibility in the future depending on the outcome of the proposed spring event and subsequent policy direction. The Planning Commission concurred with this approach and indicated a desire not to jeopardize the timing or feasibility of the planned event.
It should be noted that the City has already received preliminary interest from a local business regarding the potential to host a temporary cannabis event with retail sales within Lakeport city limits, which could be evaluated at a later date under a separate policy framework.
Following discussion, the Planning Commission voted unanimously (5–0) to recommend that the City Council adopt an Ordinance amending Sections 5.34.020 (“Definitions”) and 5.34.090 (“Commercial Cannabis Performance Standards”) of Chapter 5.34 (“Commercial Cannabis”) of Title 5 (“Business Taxes, Licenses and Regulations”) of the Lakeport Municipal Code to allow limited temporary cannabis events at the Lake County Fairgrounds, as proposed.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the draft Ordinance of the Lakeport City Council, finding that the proposed amendment to Chapter 5.34 of the Lakeport Municipal Code appropriately balances local control with state cannabis regulations, supports economic development and community events at an established venue, and maintains robust safeguards to protect public health, safety, and welfare.

STAFF REPORT
RE: Annual Public Hearing Review of Employee Vacancy Rates in Conformance with AB2561 (GC §3502.3)
MEETING DATE: 2/17/2026
SUBMITTED BY: Kelly Buendia, Administrative Services Director PURPOSE OF REPORT: ☒Information only ☐ Discussion ☐Action Item WHAT IS BEING ASKED OF THE CITY COUNCIL/BOARD:
Receive and file this report and conduct the required public hearing pursuant to Government Code § 3502.3.
BACKGROUND:
Assembly Bill 2561 amended the Meyers-Milias-Brown Act to require public agencies to annually present information regarding employee vacancies and recruitment and retention efforts at a public hearing.
Government Code § 3502.3(a)(1) requires that this information be presented at least once per fiscal year, regardless of the level of vacancies.
Subdivision (c) of the statute establishes a separate requirement for additional disclosures, which applies only when vacancies within a single bargaining unit meet or exceed 20 percent of authorized full-time positions, and upon request of the recognized employee organization. The 20 percent threshold does not determine whether a public hearing is required; rather, it determines whether additional information must be presented during the required hearing.
This report is prepared to support the City’s annual public hearing obligation and to document vacancy levels by bargaining unit.
DISCUSSION:
Vacancy rates were calculated by comparing authorized full-time positions to the average number of filled positions during the reporting period. The resulting average vacant positions were divided by authorized positions to determine the vacancy rate for each bargaining unit.
This report presents vacancy data only. Vacancy rate is the sole metric used to determine applicability of Government Code § 3502.3(c). Because the statutory vacancy threshold was not met, no additional disclosures or public hearing were required.
CY 2025 Vacancy Rates
Lakeport Employees’ Association 0.0%
Lakeport Police Officers’ Association 11.8%
Lakeport Management Employees 10.5%
Meeting Date: 02/17/2026 Page 2 Agenda Item #VI.A.
In compliance with Government Code section 3502.3, staff has conducted an ongoing review of recruitment policies, procedures, and hiring practices to identify potential barriers within the hiring process. This review has resulted in procedural adjustments intended to improve hiring efficiency, enhance communication with candidates, and reduce unnecessary delays while maintaining professional and regulatory standards. The City also maintains continuous recruitment for hard-to-fill classifications and periodically increases targeted outreach efforts, including the use of boosted social media postings and evaluation of entry-level testing opportunities such as POST Entry-Level Law Enforcement Test Battery (PELLETB) advertising.
While recent efforts have focused on streamlining internal processes, staff recognizes that recruitment effectiveness can be further strengthened through enhanced employer branding. Accordingly, the City continues to evaluate opportunities to improve recruitment messaging through professional marketing and design support, updates to the City’s careers webpage, and expanded use of professional networking platforms to better communicate organizational culture, career pathways, and the benefits of employment with the City.
SUMMARY:
This report fulfills the City’s annual obligation under Government Code § 3502.3 to publicly present employee vacancy information. Vacancy rates for all reviewed bargaining units remained below the statutory threshold that would require additional disclosures. The report is submitted for review, transparency, and recordkeeping.

Receive the presentation. No action required.

Purpose of This Attachment
This document is provided as a companion attachment to the City’s annual AB 2561 (Government Code § 3502.3) staff report. Its purpose is to summarize the City of Lakeport’s ongoing recruitment and retention efforts over multiple years, provide historical context for current strategies, and avoid repetition of prior staff reports within the current year’s report. This attachment is intended for reference and informational purposes only.
Citywide Recruitment and Hiring Context
Like many small and rural public agencies, the City of Lakeport has experienced ongoing challenges in attracting qualified applicants across multiple classifications. These challenges have been influenced by a limited regional labor pool, increased competition among public agencies, and extended hiring timelines driven by background, certification, and training requirements. In response, the City has consistently evaluated and adjusted recruitment methods to reduce barriers to entry, improve candidate experience, and maintain service levels.
Across departments, the City has emphasized transparency in recruitment, timely communication with applicants, and periodic review of hiring policies and procedures to ensure they do not unintentionally impede successful hiring outcomes. Human Resources staff regularly assess recruitment practices and coordinate with department leadership to identify opportunities for improvement.
Police Department Recruitment History
Recruitment challenges within the Police Department have been particularly acute and predate the enactment of AB 2561. As early as 2015, the City observed a decline in qualified police officer applicants and began implementing targeted strategies to remain competitive.
Key historical efforts have included:
• Implementation of a police academy reimbursement program to attract academy graduates • Development of a Police Officer Trainee program, allowing candidates to be hired and sponsored through the academy in exchange for a service commitment • Sponsorship of multiple trainees through the academy since 2016, recognizing that this approach increases long-term staffing stability despite longer onboarding timelines While these programs have been largely successful, the City has acknowledged that the time from recruitment to deployment for sworn personnel can exceed one year, necessitating proactive workforce planning.
Police Recruitment and Retention Program Policy
In recognition of sustained recruitment difficulties and evolving labor market conditions, the City Council adopted the Police Recruitment and Retention Program Policy in December 2022. This policy formalized and expanded the City’s recruitment toolkit by authorizing:
• Hiring and referral incentives for sworn police classifications • Flexible hiring across police classifications to best match operational needs and candidate qualifications
• Additional capacity budgeting to allow overstaffing in anticipation of known or projected vacancies
This policy provides administrative flexibility to respond to changing staffing conditions while maintaining minimum patrol staffing levels necessary for public safety. The program is administered through the budget process and is designed to be temporary, subject to periodic evaluation based on staffing stability, applicant pool strength, and fiscal conditions. A full copy of the policy is available as an attachment to the annual AB 2561 staff report. fileciteturn0file1 Ongoing Evaluation and Continuous Improvement
Consistent with AB 2561 requirements, City staff routinely review recruitment policies, procedures, and practices to identify potential obstacles in the hiring process and implement improvements where feasible. Recent and ongoing recruitment enhancements include:
• Implementation of recruitment software to enhance applicant tracking and communication • Ongoing, consistent communication with candidates throughout the hiring process • Allowing candidates to retake written examinations where appropriate • Elimination of redundant testing components to reduce unnecessary delays • Providing guidance and support to help candidates successfully complete physical agility testing • Establishment of in-house background investigators to improve efficiency and reduce processing time
In addition, the City maintains continuous recruitment for hard-to-fill classifications and periodically increases targeted outreach efforts, including the use of boosted social media postings. Staff also considers advertising POST Entry-Level Law Enforcement Test Battery (PELLETB) testing opportunities to expand the entry-level applicant pipeline.
Recognizing the importance of employer branding in a competitive labor market, the City continues to evaluate opportunities to strengthen recruitment messaging. Potential enhancements include incorporating professional marketing content and design support, refreshing the City’s careers webpage, and expanding the City’s LinkedIn presence to better communicate organizational culture, career pathways, and the benefits of public service employment. These efforts are intended to position the City as an employer of choice while maintaining transparency and consistency in recruitment practices.

NOTE: Approximate training hours for Daily Training Bulletins are calculated by multiplying the approximate time to complete one daily training bulletin (about 2 Minutes) by the number of completed DTBs. The resulting number is the total minutes spent completing DTBs. This number is then divided by 60 (because there are 60 minutes in 1 hour). Example: 331 DTBs x 2 minutes= 668 minutes. 662minutes/60minutes= 11.03 hours.

MEMORANDUM
Lakeport Police Department
2025 South Main Street
Lakeport, CA 95453
(707) 263-5491
To:
From: Police Chief Dale Stoebe
Date: January 5, 2025
Subject: Use of Force Analysis Report - 2025
Pursuant to Lakeport Police Department Policy 300.9, this memo shall serve as the official Annual Use of Force Analysis Report for the calendar year 2025. The 2025 year showed 0 Uses of Force reportable to the California Department of Justice required by California Government Code 12525.2, which is on par with 2024.
Pursuant to Lakeport Police Department Policy 300.7.1, Shift Supervisors conducted 13 separate Use of Force reviews (not reportable to DOJ) as required by California Penal Code Section 7286 (b)(14), resulting from 11 separate calls for service. These thorough reviews found that all Uses of Force were reasonable, justified and fully compliant with Policy, State and Federal law. As a result of these reviews, the need for additional training to augment and enhance service performance was identified in 2 incidents.
Pursuant to the recommendations made in previous Use of Force Analysis Report, the following implementations continued during this reporting period:
a). In-house Firearms Training, at least once annually, included force transition training and simulation between firearms and other available force options, consistent with the employees’ duty assignments. Additional training contained elements of multiple Dale D Stoebe
Chief of Police
officers with force transitions, including both use of force and noforce options based on successful de-escalation tactics. b.) In-house Less Lethal Force training, at least once annually, contained similar elements as described above.
c.) The department remains of compliance with California POST requirements for Defensive Tactics (D-Tac) training. This has been caused by a continual staffing shortage which has hampered the appointment of an in-house D-Tac Training Officer with sufficient staffing to support their training, and a limited number of available courses. The department continues to progress toward the appointment and training of an in-house training officer as it affords the most attainable scenario.
I do not believe that the department has any equipment needs as the Lakeport Police Department has available, issues, and maintains several force options, spanning a broad array of force levels, for use by police staff including chemical spray, chemical deployables, batons, new-technology electronic less-lethal devices, less-lethal deployables, handguns, shotguns, and patrol rifles. Although there is other equipment on the market, our array is more than appropriate relative to the instances and levels of force historically required. The Department maintains a Sworn Officer assigned to a Multi-County, Multi-Jurisdictional Special Weapons and Tactics Team, leveraging our participation and support to better prepare a needed response to matters demanding a more robust and emergent tactical need. This array of available equipment includes suitable firearms instruction and evaluation equipment. To augment the same, the department recently obtained Virtual Reality Training Simulator and Evaluation equipment for near future deployment.
Additionally, the Department continues to use a suite of information gathering applications designed to increase efficiency of in-house Supervisory reviews of force, vehicle pursuits, employee conduct and police vehicle damage, with the goal of incorporating that and other information in a Performance History Audit and Early Intervention Program that remains in development.
Lastly, I conducted quarterly reviews of department policy, including any suggested policy changes, deletions and/or additions received from our third-party policy consultant, Lexipol, that have been Dale D Stoebe
Chief of Police
provided during the previous year, giving primary attention to critical policy updates, and then any use of force policy suggestions. Relative to policy training, policy Daily Training Bulletins (DTBs), which regularly include Use of Force specific topics, are pushed out to all department employees, monthly. Supervisory oversight of policy review and training is conducted on an on-going basis to ensure that policy changes are reviewed and acknowledged, and DTBs are completed in a timely manner.
