STAFF REPORT
RE: Approve Modified Financial Services Specialist I/II/III Classification
MEETING DATE: 04/07/2026
SUBMITTED BY: Kelly Buendia, Administrative Services Director PURPOSE OF REPORT: ☐Information only ☐ Discussion ☒Action Item WHAT IS BEING ASKED OF THE CITY COUNCIL/BOARD:

The City Council is being asked to approve modifications to the Financial Services Specialist I / II / III classification and job description.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:

The Financial Services Specialist classification series was last comprehensively updated in 2015 to support operational flexibility and encourage cross-training across multiple functional areas within the Finance Department. While this approach has provided organizational benefits in terms of coverage and knowledge sharing, the breadth of required competencies has also created challenges for employees seeking advancement within the series.

Over time, staff feedback and supervisory experience have demonstrated that the expectation of proficiency across numerous functional areas has made progression within the classification more difficult than originally intended. The proposed revisions are intended to address these concerns by:
• Eliminating outdated or less relevant areas of responsibility that no longer reflect current operational needs; and
• Clarifying and refining the classification structure to provide a more attainable and transparent pathway for career progression while maintaining operational effectiveness.

The revised job description continues to support cross-functional knowledge and collaboration; however, it better aligns advancement expectations with realistic training and experience opportunities. The updated classification maintains the flex-series structure, in which progression is based on demonstrated knowledge, skills, abilities, and performance.

The Lakeport Employees’ Association was notified of the proposed changes and provided an opportunity to review and discuss them. The City does not anticipate any adverse impacts on wages, hours, or working conditions as a result of these revisions.

OPTIONS:

1. Approve the modified Financial Services Specialist I/II/III classification and job description.

Meeting Date: 04/07/2026 Page 2 Agenda Item # IV.F.

2. Do not approve the proposed modifications.

3. Provide alternate direction to staff.

FISCAL IMPACT:
☒ None ☐ $ Budgeted Item? ☐Yes ☐ No
Budget Adjustment Needed? ☐Yes ☐ No If yes, amount of appropriation increase: $ Affected fund(s): ☐ General Fund ☐ Water OM Fund ☐ Sewer OM Fund ☐ Other:

Comments: The proposed revisions reflect organizational and classification updates only and do not result in direct fiscal impacts.

COUNCIL PRIORITIES:
☐ Priority #1: Public Safety & Crisis Response
☐ Priority #2: Disaster Resiliency
☒ Priority #3: Good Governance & Fiscal Stability
☐ Priority #4: Capital Infrastructure Improvement
☐ Priority #5: Safe, Sustainable & Attractive Neighborhoods ☐ Priority #6: Economic Development

STAFF REPORT
RE: Review and adoption of 2026/27 SB 1 Project List for the City of Lakeport
MEETING DATE: 04/07/2026
SUBMITTED BY: Ron Ladd, Public Works Director
PURPOSE OF REPORT: Information only Discussion Action Item WHAT IS BEING ASKED OF THE CITY COUNCIL/BOARD:

The City Council is being asked to review and adopt the presented resolution and project list proposed to be funded with monies generated by the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 for fiscal year 2026-27 in the estimated amount of $141,022.00.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:

On April 28, 2017, the Governor of California signed Senate Bill 1 (SB 1), known as the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017. SB 1 increases gasoline and diesel taxes and vehicle registration fees to address basic road maintenance and rehabilitation needs on both state highways and local streets and roads.

Monies generated through SB 1, will be deposited by the State Controller into a Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA). A portion of this funding will be apportioned by formula to eligible cities and counties, including Lakeport, pursuant to California Streets and Highways Code Section (SHC) 2032 (h).

Since SB 1 emphasizes accountability and transparency in transportation funding, programming and use of the new funds is contingent on recipient cities and counties providing annual reporting. Per SHC 2034 (a) (1) prior to receiving RMRA funding each fiscal year, cities and counties must submit a list of projects to be funded with the RMRA funds to the California Transportation Commission no later than July 1st of each year.

The California League of Cities prepared RMRA estimates based upon the most recent State Department of Finance statewide revenue. Projections estimate that the City of Lakeport will receive $141,022 RMRA revenue for the fiscal year 2026-27.

Staff proposes that the anticipated funds for fiscal year 2026-27 be utilized for the Lakeport Blvd Repaving Project.

This project includes full-depth reclamation with cement, asphalt paving, restoration of pavement markings and pedestrian improvements. The project limits are from Main St to Bevins St. The estimated date for completion of this project is November 2026. This project follows the 2024 Water and Sewer Replacement Project, replacing underground utilities on this road. This project is also funded in part by the State Transportation Improvement Program. Any remaining monies will be dedicated to miscellaneous roadway maintenance and rehabilitation activities citywide.

OPTIONS:

1. Adopt the proposed SB 1 resolution and project list for fiscal year 2026-27.

2. Direct staff to make modifications or revisions to the proposed SB 1 Project List.

Meeting Date: 04/07/2026 Page 2 Agenda Item #IV.G.

3. Take no action or take action to deny the proposed SB 1 Project List. Alternatively, the City Council could provide other direction.

PURPOSE OF REPORT: ☐Information only ☐ Discussion ☒Action Item WHAT IS BEING ASKED OF THE CITY COUNCIL/BOARD:

The City Council is being asked to authorize the Police Chief to enter into an agreement with the City of Clearlake for either entity to provide supplemental law enforcement services to each other.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:

The Lakeport Police Department has requested assistance from the Clearlake Police Department to provide patrol coverage due to temporary staffing challenges. The Clearlake Police Department currently has sufficient personnel to provide this support on an overtime basis without adversely affecting its own service levels.

While law enforcement agencies routinely provide day-to-day mutual aid without compensation, the circumstances in this case warrant reimbursement to the agency providing services. Rather than formalizing this arrangement through a one-sided agreement, the proposed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) allows either agency to provide supplemental law enforcement services to the other. This approach eliminates the need to renegotiate and seek approval for a new agreement should future circumstances require Lakeport to provide services to Clearlake.

Staff from both cities, along with the California Intergovernmental Risk Authority, previously reviewed and provided input on the attached Law Enforcement Services MOU when it was originally presented and approved by both the Clearlake City Council and the Lakeport City Council at duly noticed public meetings. The Lakeport City Council approved the agreement on August 2, 2022.

Since that time, leadership within both police departments has changed, necessitating the representation of the agreement. The attached document, titled Law Enforcement Services MOU 2026, reflects only administrative updates, including the effective date and the names of the current Police Chiefs. The substantive terms of the agreement remain unchanged, making this a routine and noncontroversial item. For reference, the original agreement (Law Enforcement Services MOU 2022) is also included for comparison.

Meeting Date: 04/07/2026 Page 2 Agenda Item # IV.H.

Staff recommend that the City Council authorize the Police Chief to execute the agreement with the City of Clearlake.

OPTIONS:

1. Authorize the Police Chief to sign the agreement.

2. Provide other direction to staff.

Goal Progress

1. Implementation of a strategic plan for the development of the City's Housing Services Program
While several large-scale development projects have required significant Community Development staff capacity, the City - working in partnership with it's consultant, Adams Ashby - has continued to make steady progress towards implementation of a strategic plan for the City's Housing Services Program. City staff and the consultant are nearing completion of draft policy and procedures manuals for both the OwnerOccupied Rehabilation Program and First-Time Homebuyer Program. The City anticipates reconvening the Community Stakeholder Groups in Spring 2026 to review and discuss these draft policy and procedure documents as part of the program refinement process and grant requirements. In addition, the City, in coordination with Adams Ashby, conducted a citywide Housing Conditions Survey in late 2025. The results of this survey will play a critical role in the next phase of program development, particularly as the City prepares to pursure additional CDBG funding to support full program implementation.
  
Community Development Department staff continue to be heavily engaged in providing land use, entitlement, and permitting support for multiple large-scale and complex development projects throughout the City. These projects have required substantial staff time and coordination and collectively account for a significant portion of departmental workload. Key projects include:
(1) Parkside Apartments - The Parkside Apartments project is currently in the construction phase, with vertical building underway. Staff continue to coordinate with Danco, Adams Ashby, and the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) regarding CDBG-DR grant funding allocation and reimbursement.

Staff reviewed and approved the EVA bridge design and have received an agreement in form for the Construction and Dedication Agreement.
(2) Justice-Involved Housing Project (519 S. Smith Street) - The Justice-Involved Housing project has submitted a complete application under Assembly Bill 2162, which allows for a ministerial, streamlined review based on objective design standards. Staff have completed an initial Objective Design Standards review, and the project applicant (RCHDC) is currently working to address design and architectural refinements identified during that review.
(3) Tribal Health Vista Point Healthcare Campus - The Vista Point Healthcare Campus project has completed demolition and is currently in the pre-application phase. Tribal Health is developing the site Master Plan, and staff are awaiting submittal of a Use Permit and Architectural and Design Review application as the next step in the entitlement process.
(4) Redwood Quality Management Company - Mental Health Rehabilitation Project (1319 Todd Rd. Ext.) - Staff are currently reviewing a lot line adjustment for the proposed Mental Health Rehabilitation project. The project developer has also submitted applications for a Use Permit and Architectural and Design Review. Staff reviewed the project application and determined it has qualified for streamlined, ministerial review under Assembly Bill 531— The Behavioral Health Infrastructure Bond Act.
(5) Lake Family Resource Center - Head Start Expansion (2495 Parallel Drive) - The Lake Family Resource Center project is in the pre-application phase for a proposed expansion of its Head Start childcare facilities. Staff have been coordinating closely with LFRC regarding next steps, which are expected to include Architectural and Design Review.
(6) Disney's Boat Rentals - Disney’s Boat Rentals is currently under construction. Staff continue to provide assistance related to the dock and pier components of the project and will also be required to process a Final Parcel Map.

3. Modernize various local ordinances to align with new state laws and/or create improved organizational efficiencies
Progress on this goal has been limited due to the Department's focus on multiple active citywide development permitting projects and other higher-priority initiatives requiring immediate staff attention. While the goal remains relevant, available staff capacity during the first half of the year was directed toward these time-sensitive projects with broader operational and policy impacts. Staff will reassess timing and resource availability during the second half of the year and incorporate this goal as capacity allows

The 2024 pipeline project which consisted of approximately 2 miles of water main 1 mile of sewer main was completed within budget. This was followed by a large scale paving project on Martin St. and Lakeshore upon completion. We are currently under contract with Weeks drilling to drill 3 test holes in April/May. We are also under contract with Piazza Construction to begin work in April for the WWTP sodium hypochlorite converstion project with anticipated completion date in August. City staff continues to work on the sodium hypochlorite conversions at the tank site and the water treatment plant. Some other capital projects in the works are the Green Ranch Rehabiitation and the replacement of monitoring well #4 at CLMSD.      

2. Update Water and Sewer 10 year CIP by incorporating elements contained within the newly updated Master Plans.

After approximately one year of working with our consultant engineers, we were able to complete the updates to both the water and sewer master plans. These plans are designed to project the capital requirements over the next 20 years based on overall condition of all assets, operational improvements related to efficiency and resilience, and future regulatory and environmental requirements.

Improvements have been made with establishing effective targets associated with water valve exercising, hydrant maintenance, flushing, sewer infrastructure inspections, and maintenance of generators, vehicles and equipment. Monthly targets have been estabhished and tracked to help maximize the life of the asset as well as help prevent unwanted failures.

4. Conduct a rate study and implement the 218 process as needed to sustain fiscal stability of enterprise funds.

An RFP is out to consultants to complete a comprehesive cost of service rate study for the water and sewer enterprise funds. Proposals are due back on 3/18 with awards with a target approval from city council at the 4/7 meeting. The first draft report should be ready by July 1st. This will likely support the need for a rate increase to support increased operational costs and capital infrastructure improvements.  

5. Long range infrastructure improvement plan. (LT-2)
Master plan updates were completed for both the water and sewer enterprise funds.

This resulted in a 20 year projection of current assets along with an extensive capital improvement plan.

4. Advanced Integration of Pier 1900 Mobilehome Park into City Water System Provided extensive technical assistance to the Pier 1900 Homeowners Association to transition from a failing private well system to reliable municipal water service. Over the past year, staff supported system design, attended HOA meetings, and helped identify cost-effective connection solutions, resulting in successful integration with the City’s fire hydrant network and ongoing efforts to complete domestic water service connections. This work improves water quality reliability, enhances fire protection, and supports long-term public health and infrastructure sustainability for a vulnerable residential community.
