    Description

    The City of Lakeport, California (“City”), requests for proposals (“Proposals”) from qualified firms (“Respondents”) to provide 7th Cycle Housing Element Update Consulting services (“Services”) for the City’s 7th Cycle Housing Element Update (“Project”). The project consists of the preparation of the City of Lakeport’s 7th Cycle Housing Element Update for the 2027–2035 planning period in compliance with California Government Code Section 65580 et seq. and California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) requirements.

    Background

    The City is located on the western shore of Clear Lake, a natural lake with over 100 miles of shoreline, located in Lake County (County), California. Lakeport is located 120 miles north of San Francisco and 125 miles northwest of Sacramento, the state capital. This helps to support a higher level of commercial and retail businesses, yet over the years the County and City have seen a decline in visitors that has impacted the economic health of the area. Incorporated in 1888, Lakeport is a general law, partial service city with a population of approximately 5,0000 residents; however, it serves as the county seat for the County of Lake and, as such, serves a trade area of roughly 60,000 people during normal business hours. As the county seat, the City benefits from a higher percentage of employment in the public sector which tends to result in a stable workforce in the areas of legal services, healthcare occupations, administration support, financial occupations, community services, media, and forestry occupations. It provides basic municipal utility, police, administrative, planning, parks, public works services and water and wastewater utilities. It does not administer functions related to fire protection, library, or recreation. The City is governed by a five-member city council. Lakeport employs approximately 50 regular, full-time positions.
