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 Harbor Commission Members to attend Harbor Commission meetings telephonically. Please be advised that to minimize the spread of COIVD-19, some, or all, of the Newport Beach Harbor Commission 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 Harbor Commission telephonically or by other electronic means.
