The council will meet at 5 p.m. for an information workshop regarding the analysis of the city's enterprise funds before the regular session convenes at 6 p.m.
The meeting will be held in the council chambers at Lakeport City Hall, 225 Park St.

Mendocino College is planning to build a new Lake Center with bond proceeds, and in June entered into escrow on a 14-acre parcel on Merritt Road in Kelseyville, as Lake County News has reported.
College officials had first looked at a 31-acre parcel on Parallel Drive owned by Scottsdale, Ariz.-based developer Tom Adamson, but stopped pursuing it when he asked for nearly twice the $1.53 million appraised value.
Adamson has since lost the property to foreclosure, and city officials – including Redevelopment Director Richard Knoll – have spoken to college officials about taking another look at the college.
Meanwhile, a powerful community moment has begun in Kelseyville to land the project. Petitions are now being circulated by groups in both Kelseyville and Lakeport in an effort to get the new center.
Knoll is taking to the council a proposed resolution on Tuesday that supports locating the proposed Lake Center on Parallel Drive and directs city staff to continue to explore alternative incentives for the college to induce it to choose the Parallel Drive site.
Also on the agenda Tuesday is a possible decision by the council on whether or not to continue to pay a surcharge for health care benefits for “early retirees” – those who are under the age of 65 and not eligible for Medicare benefits.
The issue has arisen repeatedly in recent years and appears to be headed for a final decision. City officials say they're not required to pay more for retirees' benefits under the terms of a memorandum of understanding signed in 1998.
Retirees have appeared several times over the summer to ask the city not to pass on the charge, which would amount to $92.55 per person per month, $194.38 for two or $277.67 for a family on a monthly basis, as Lake County News has reported.
In other council news, the council is expected to give staff the go-ahead on proceeding with an application for Proposition 84 grant funding for purchase and development of a new park on Alden Avenue.
During public presentations the oath of office will be administered to new Lakeport Police School Resources Officer Stephanie Green, and the council will consider Clear Lake High School's application for its fall homecoming parade on Main Street from 3:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. Friday, Oct. 30.
The council also will acknowledge T Mobile’s request to withdraw the use permit application for a
new wireless communication facility on a portion of the site located at 280 Third St.
In a joint meeting with the Lakeport Redevelopment Agency, the council will provide direction to staff regarding removal of underground fuel storage tank discovered during the completion of the Martin/Forbes Street Sidewalk.
Council members will consider approving an agreement between the city and the Adams/Ashby Group for housing services and authorize staff to execute the agreement.
Another item going to the council Tuesday is the adoption of Resolution No. 2371 (2009), approving the sale to the California Statewide Communities Development Authority of the city's Proposition 1A receivables, which the state is borrowing for an extended period of time. The city will then be paid with bond proceeds.
The council also will hold a closed session to discuss a case of pending litigation, City of Lakeport v. Vincent.
