Under council business, the council will review a comprehensive study of city service fees that recommends both new charges and increases across multiple departments.

The city last conducted a full user fee study in 2006. Since then, although there has been annual adjustment based on Consumer Price Index, the staff report said those adjustments have not accounted for underlying changes in actual service costs.

The new study examined fees in administrative services, finance, planning, engineering, police, code enforcement and building.

The council will also hear an update on traffic safety and transportation, discussing traffic complaints received from December to August, enforcement efforts, road improvements and plans to improve pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure. 

Following that, the council will consider adopting the Lake County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan, that identifies risks from natural hazards and outlines long-term strategies to reduce them. 

Adoption also keeps the city eligible for several federal and state funding for disaster mitigation, according to the staff report.

The council will also consider accepting up to $10,000 in state grant funds to replenish the city's oil spill response trailer and equipment. 

The trailer was first funded in 2019 and has been used in multiple spill incidents on Clear Lake and other water bodies. The grant will cover new containment boom, protective equipment and other supplies. 

In the closed session, city negotiators will meet with the Lakeport Police Officers Association. 

On the consent agenda — items considered noncontroversial and usually accepted as a slate on one vote — are ordinances; waive reading except by title of any ordinances under consideration at this meeting for either introduction or passage per Government Code Section 36934; approval of the minutes of the City Council regular meeting of August 19, 2025; authorize the cancellation of the regular meeting scheduled for October 7, 2025, for National Night Out; adopt an ordinance amending Sections 9.04.010 and 9.08.110 of the Lakeport Municipal Code related to alcohol possession and consumption in city parklands; approval of application 2025-042, with staff recommendations, for the CLHS Homecoming Parade; and adopt a resolution accepting construction of the South Main Street Pavement Rehabilitation Project by Granite Construction Company and authorize the filing of the Notice of Completion.
