Originally donated to the community in 2019, the Silveira Community Center continues to evolve as a flexible gathering space for local organizations, agencies, and community groups.

🚤 Boat Ramp Safety Tips 🚤
It’s that time of year again, and ramp surfaces can get slick from algae, mud, and constant use.
Whether you’re an experienced boater or new to launching, following a few simple steps can help prevent accidents and keep everyone safe.
✅ Before You Launch:
Walk the ramp first to check for slippery spots.
Use 4-wheel drive if your vehicle has it—it helps with traction.
✅ During Launch:
Back down slowly and steadily in low gear.
Have a spotter guide you if possible.
Submerge the trailer just enough to float the boat, but keep your exhaust above water.
Set the parking brake and use wheel chocks once stopped.
✅ Finishing Up:
Unhook the winch and safety chain carefully.
Use a rope or dock line to guide the boat if the ramp is slick.
When driving back up the ramp, maintain a slow, steady pace to avoid spinning out.
Taking it slow and staying aware makes all the difference. Let’s keep Clear Lake safe and enjoyable for everyone this summer! 🌊🛶

National Public Works Week 2026: Celebrating Our Essential Team!

🛠💧 National Public Works Week 2026: Celebrating Our Essential Team 💧🛠

This week, the City of Lakeport proudly recognizes the dedicated staff of our Public Works & Utilities Department — the people who keep our water flowing, our streets drivable, and our infrastructure strong every single day.

Public Works professionals are often the first to respond in emergencies and the last to leave. Their work touches every part of daily life, from storm preparation and sewer maintenance to parks upkeep, water quality, facility maintenance, and emergency response coordination.

👏 Thank you to our field crews, park crews, utility operators, mechanic, engineers, and administrative staff who help keep Lakeport running smoothly. Whether you’re in the trench, under the hood, or working behind the scenes — your efforts do not go unnoticed.

While this year’s group photo may not capture every face, it represents a team that shows up no matter what. Your dedication, professionalism, and service to the community are deeply appreciated.

💙 Thank you for all you do for Lakeport!
