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 COIVD-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

You can submit your questions and comments in writing for City Council consideration by sending them to the City

comments, please submit your written comments by Thursday, April 30, 2020, at 4:30 p.m.
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

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
