The meeting’s only item is the discussion and final action on the proposed increase to city water rates.
Last Tuesday, the council unanimously approved resolutions increasing the city’s water and sewer rates, but Lakeport’s municipal code requires a second reading in order to finalize approval of a water rate hike.
Should the council approve the resolution establishing the new water rates, they will go into effect, along with the previously approved sewer rates, on Nov. 1.
