On the consent agenda — items considered noncontroversial and usually accepted as a slate on one vote — are ordinances; minutes of the City Council’s regular meeting on Sept. 2; approval of a memorandum of understanding with the Lakeport Police Officers’ Association for the period of Sept. 16, 2025 to June 30, 2028; and approval of the modified Police Officer I/ II/ III classification and job description.

The council also will hold a closed session to discuss the national prescription opiate litigation.
