Under council business, the council will hear an update on the city’s first-quarter financial statements for fiscal year 2025-26. The update will cover unaudited revenue and expenses through Sept. 30 for the General Fund, Water Operating and Maintenance Fund, and Sewer Operating and Maintenance Fund.

The council is also considering spending $35,507.69 to buy a 2026 Chevrolet Colorado Truck to be assigned to the city’s Utilities Director Paul Harris. 

The city already has a vehicle, which was “reassigned to the Utilities Superintendent position approximately one year ago,” according to the staff report. 

It was “originally hoped” that the vehicle could be shared between the superintendent and Harris. “Unfortunately, this has not been the case due to consistent field work requirements,” the staff report said. 

The council is also being asked to approve a temporary month-to-month lease extension for the tenant at 910 Bevins St., keeping rent at $875 per month while the city completes a surplus property review for a potential future transfer or sale.

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 November 4, 2025; receive and file the draft minutes of the Measure Z Advisory Committee regular meeting of October 29, 2025; adopt the second reading, Ordinance No. ___, amending Section 3.05.011(E) of the Lakeport Municipal Code to clarify that the dollar thresholds established in subsections A, B, and C automatically adjust as necessary to comply with any adjustment mandated by the State Controller pursuant to Public Contract Code Section 22020; and receive and file the 2025 Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP) Audit Executive Summary for the reporting period May 2, 2022 – May 2, 2025.
