SPECIAL NOTICE REGARDING COVID-19
On March 4, 2020, Governor Newsom proclaimed a State of Emergency in California as a result of the threat of COVID-19.
On March 12, 2020, Governor Newsom issued Executive Order N-25-20, which allows Council Members to attend City
Council meetings telephonically. Please be advised that to minimize the spread of COVID-19, some, or all, of the Newport
Beach City Council Members may attend this meeting telephonically.
Also, please be advised that on March 17, 2020, Governor Newsom issued Executive Order N-29-20, which allows for the
public to participate in any meeting of the City Council telephonically or by other electronic means. Given the health
risks associated with COVID-19, the City of Newport Beach has decided to not have City Council Chambers open to the
public for this meeting. As a member of the public, if you would like to participate in this meeting, you can participate via
the following options:
1. You can submit your questions and comments in writing for Housing Element Update Advisory Committee
consideration by sending them to the HEUAC at HEupdate@newportbeachca.gov. To give the Committee adequate time
to review your questions and comments, please submit your written comments by Tuesday, October 20, 2020, at 5:00
p.m.
2. In addition, members of the public can participate in this meeting telephonically. Specifically, the meeting will be
viewable on NBTV and live streamed on the City’s website. If you are watching the meeting on NBTV or via the live
stream, during the meeting, phone numbers for the public to call and to comment on specific agenda items will be
posted on the screen. When you call, you will be placed on hold until it is your turn to speak. Please note that only
twenty (20) people can remain on hold at a time. If you call in to speak on an item and the line is busy, please call back
after a few moments. The City will ensure that it allows enough time per item for everyone to call in to comment.
3. If you need special accommodations, you can attend and participate in the meeting by going to the Civic Center
Community Room located at 100 Civic Center Drive where the meeting will be broadcasted, and you can address the
Committee. The room has a limited occupancy of 10 people to ensure proper physical distancing.
Please know that it is important for the City to allow public participation at this meeting. If you are unable to participate in
the meeting via the process set forth above, please contact the Community Development Department at (949-644-3200 or
CDD@newportbeachca.gov) and we will attempt to accommodate you.
The City of Newport Beach thanks you in advance for continuing to take precautions to prevent the spread of the
COVID-19 virus.
