Votes at a glance: Clear Lake council approves consent agenda, management salary adjustment and one‑way conversion on Acacia Street
Summary
The council unanimously approved the consent agenda (with one item pulled), adopted a 2.4% salary adjustment for management employees and voted to convert a portion of Acacia Street to a one‑way route to improve school-area safety.
The Clear Lake City Council took several formal actions on July 21, approving routine business and two substantive items.
Agenda and consent: The council unanimously adopted the meeting agenda and approved the consent agenda with one item pulled for separate consideration (PEG agreement, item 10, was removed from tonight’s agenda for further amendments). No public comment was lodged on consent items prior to the vote.
Management salary adjustment: The council approved an update to the city’s management classification and benefits plan, adopting a 2.4 percent salary adjustment for employees covered under that plan effective July 1. Staff recommended the adjustment to align with the March‑to‑March U.S. All‑Urban Consumer Price Index and to match non‑represented employees with other bargaining group increases. The motion passed unanimously.
Acacia Street one‑way conversion: After a public hearing prompted by safety concerns near Pomo Elementary School, the council adopted Resolution 2025‑30 to convert the portion of Acacia Street from Arrowhead Road to Sonoma Avenue to one‑way (northbound). Staff and school officials said the change, which includes restriped bike lanes, marked crosswalks and designated drop‑off areas, follows a similar conversion near Burns Valley that improved safety. The resolution authorizes placement of traffic control devices; council voted unanimously to approve the measure.
Votes and procedure: All recorded motions at the July 21 meeting passed by unanimous council vote. One consent agenda item (item 10, PEG agreement) was pulled and will return when county-recommended amendments are complete.
