entire agenda, and all reports, can be viewed here.
There will be a Study Session Meeting of the City Council at 4 p.m.:
• The Council will hear a presentation from Be Well OC, which provides a mobile crisis intervention
program to assist community members struggling with mental health issues. CEO Marshall Moncrief will
provide an overview of the organization's programs and services.
• As noted earlier, council members will review and discuss changes to the draft update of the City's
General Plan Housing Element, following recent Council and community input. Staff will incorporate any
additional feedback from the study session into the document before it is sent to the state Department of
Housing and Community Development (HCD) for a preliminary review. The latest draft is available online at
this link.
The Regular Meeting of the City Council will begin at 6:30 p.m.:
• The Council will hold a public hearing on a plan to spend additional funding from the 2020 federal
stimulus plan known as the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act). Newport Beach
will receive $741,079 in additional CARES Act funds through its participation in the U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development's Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program. The resolution
under consideration would update the City's CDBG annual plan to accommodate the additional grants.
Under the program guidelines, the funding must be allocated to projects and services that prevent, prepare
for and respond to COVID-19.
