On Thursday, Finance Director Kelcey Young will present to the council the options for Measure V road improvement projects financing.
Last month, Young presented a report to the council that looked at a plan to expedite the needed road work in the city through debt financing directly with a bank. The council directed staff to move forward with identifying financing options.
That financing plan will allow the city to do millions of dollars worth of work up front, rather than doing smaller projects yearly based on the $2.5 million in annual revenue from the Measure V sales tax that’s dedicated to road improvements.
Under business, council members will consider the first reading of the Clearlake Police Department’s military equipment policy ordinance and set a second reading and adoption for the May 5 meeting.
