The Clearlake City Council convened on June 1, 2023, to address several key agenda items, including public comments, a consent agenda, and significant public hearings.

The meeting began with a public comment session, where Supervisor Sabatier praised the city for its recent "walking school bus" initiative, which involved approximately 300 children walking to Pomo Elementary School. He commended city staff and the police department for their support in making the event a success, highlighting its role in promoting health and safety for students.

Following public comments, the council moved to the consent agenda, which was approved unanimously without any items being pulled for further discussion.

The first major item on the agenda was a public hearing regarding the extension of a temporary road closure aimed at reducing illegal dumping and protecting public health. Director Labo presented the request, noting that the closure had been effective since its implementation in January 2022. The council unanimously voted to adopt Resolution 2023-25, extending the road closure.

Next, the council addressed an appeal from the Koi Nation of Northern California concerning the Planning Commission's approval of the Burns Valley development project. The council agreed to continue the public hearing to June 7, 2023, at 3 PM, allowing for a religious accommodation requested by the Koi Nation. This decision was met with appreciation from representatives of the Koi Nation, who expressed gratitude for the council's consideration.

The meeting concluded with all agenda items addressed and decisions made, reflecting the council's commitment to community engagement and environmental protection. The next meeting is scheduled for June 7, 2023, where the council will further discuss the Burns Valley development project.
