CLEARLAKE — In an information report to the Clearlake City Council that required no action Thursday, Interim City Administrator Joan Phillipe received support in appointing two city staff members to serve staff needs in relation to the dissolution of the Redevelopment Agency.
City Clerk Melissa Swanson and Interim Finance Director Sandra Sato will attend to city staff responsibilities in the process to dissolve the agency.
“Inasmuch as I will be sitting on the oversight board, it is not reasonable to also serve as staff as well,” Phillipe said in her report. “To address that situation, I have designated Melissa Swanson to serve as the clerk and Interim Finance Director Sandra Sato as staff to prepare reports and recommendations for the board”s consideration, based on council recommendations.”
