RECORDING OF OPEN MEETINGS
A. All regular meetings of the City Council shall be recorded. Open and public
meetings of City Boards, Commissions and Committees (collectively, "BCC')
may be audio recorded upon request of the chairperson or pursuant to any
procedural rule or by-law adopted by the SCC.
B. Any person attending an open and public meeting of the City Council or any
SCC shall have the right to record the proceedings with an audio or video tape
recorder or a still or motion picture camera unless the City Council or BCC
determines, based upon evidence in findings made by the Mayor or chairperson,
that continued recording would create noise, illumination, or view obstruction
problems that are disrupting or would disrupt the proceedings. The Mayor or
chairperson of any BCC may impose conditions on any recordation, which in the
absence of the conditions, would disrupt the proceedings.
C. Any audio tape or video record of any open and public meeting made by or at
the direction of the City of Newport Beach shall be subject to inspection pursuant
to the California Public Records Act (Sections 6250 et seq. of the Government
Code). Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 34090 of the Government
Code, any audio or video recording of any open or public meeting of any BCC
may be erased or destroyed one-year after the taping or recordation, excluding
Planning Commission as those are kept permanent. If a City Council meeting
has simultaneously recorded audio and video, the audio recording may be
destroyed after the City Council meeting minutes for that meeting have been
approved by the City Council and the video recording has been uploaded to the
document imaging system. Any person may inspect a video or audio recording
without charge on a recorder made available by the City of Newport Beach.
