CLEARLAKE, Calif. – The Clearlake City Council this week will consider approving the award of a design project for Austin Park and discuss the purchase of equipment to help it continue to move forward on its road improvement projects.
The council will convene in closed session at 5:30 p.m. Thursday, March 8, to hold a performance evaluation of City Manager Greg Folsom before the regular meeting convenes at 6 p.m. in the council chambers at Clearlake City Hall, 14050 Olympic Drive.
The meeting will feature presentations by Mayor Bruno Sabatier to former Councilman Russ Perdock, a proclamation declaring March as March for Meals Month and the Highlands Senior Center annual report.
