Questions and comments for City Council consideration may be submitted in writing to the City Clerk at cityclerk@newportbeachca.gov. To allow adequate time for review, written comments should be received by Monday at 4:00 p.m. prior to the Tuesday City Council meeting for inclusion in the agenda packet.

Materials received after this deadline, but before 2:00 p.m. on the day of the meeting, will be distributed to the City Council in hard copy and made available to the public at the meeting.

Meetings typically begin at 4:00 p.m., unless otherwise adjusted to accommodate the Council’s business needs. During August and December, the Council holds at least one regular meeting in each month. If a scheduled meeting falls on a holiday, it will convene on the next business day.

Study Sessions are generally held on the same day as regular meetings and typically begin at 4:00 p.m. These sessions provide an opportunity for staff to present projects, initiatives, and policy matters for Council discussion. Study Sessions are informational in nature—no formal action or voting takes place.
