Community Members:
Maintaining high-quality streets is a top priority for the City of Newport Beach. One of the most important tools we use to preserve and extend the life of our roadways is slurry sealing -- a preventative maintenance treatment that protects the pavement from weather, water and wear.
We understand that many residents have questions about slurry sealing: how it works, why it’s needed, and when it will take place in their neighborhoods. To help answer some of the most common questions, we’ve created a short informational video that explains the process and its benefits.
Slurry sealing is a smart investment that helps us avoid more costly repairs down the road and ensures that our streets remain safe, smooth and in good condition.
To ensure every residential street is maintained on a consistent basis, the City uses a planned, seven-year rotation schedule for slurry sealing. This regular cycle helps prevent deterioration and maximizes the lifespan of our roadways.
The process may involve temporary closures and detours, and we appreciate your patience and cooperation when slurry seal crews are working in your area.
For more information and updates on this year’s slurry seal program, please visit: www.newportbeachca.gov/slurryseal.
City Manager, Grace K. Leung

The TK Burgers and Kona Ice trucks will be onsite with food and beverages for purchase.

In the world of emergency response, Newport Beach's public safety dispatchers are the vital first link in the chain of assistance.
These unseen heroes answer every 911 call with professionalism, compassion and grace under pressure. They guide frantic callers, relay critical information to field responders, and remain calm in a crisis.
This week, the Newport Beach Fire Department proudly joined in the national recognition of Public Safety Telecommunicators Week, celebrating the extraordinary dispatchers who help keep our city safe.
As part of the recognition, the Newport Beach Firefighters’ Association donated lunch for dispatchers, and the Newport Beach Fire Department Foundation donated custom tumblers as a token of gratitude.

The Newport Beach Fire Department is proud to welcome the newest class of rookie lifeguards following successful completion of the Basic Lifeguard Academy. This intensive program includes more than 100 hours of rigorous training to prepare recruits for the critical responsibility of safeguarding our City’s coastline.
This year’s academy brought together a group of men and women ranging in age from 16 to 32, many of whom are local students from Newport Beach and Huntington Beach. Each graduate demonstrated the physical endurance, skill and commitment required to serve as a professional ocean lifeguard.
Now officially part of the Newport Beach Lifeguard Division, these rookies will be on duty throughout the summer season, ready to respond, protect and provide the highest level of service to residents and visitors.

Residents and visitors have even more flexibility when paying for parking in Newport Beach. The City now offers the choice of four mobile payment apps: ParkMobile, PayByPhone, HotSpot or Park Smarter (IPS).
Getting started is easy: just download your preferred app from the Apple Store or Google Play. When you park, enter the parking zone number (posted on nearby signage) and your vehicle license plate to pay.
With these mobile parking apps, you can add parking time to your session remotely and receive reminders before your time expires.
Important: Be sure to enter your license plate number correctly in the app to avoid receiving a parking citation.
As part of this upgrade, the City is installing new signage at parking locations to help guide users and provide clear, step-by-step instructions for mobile payment.
If you prefer to pay at a machine, that’s still an option; cash and credit card payments are accepted at pay stations throughout Newport Beach.
For more information, visit www.nbca.gov/park or call 949-524-8915.
