The next meeting of the Newport Beach City Council will be on Tuesday, July 8 at 4 p.m. The full agenda is available here.
Agenda items include:
- A $135,000 agreement with Arts Orange County to manage Phase X of the Civic Center Park sculpture exhibition. The agreement includes project coordination and management fees, installation and de-installation fees. Arts Orange County has managed all previous phases of the ongoing public arts display, a primary feature of the Newport Beach Civic Center.
- Adoption of the updated 2025 Fire Hazard Severity Zone map as designated by the California Dept. of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE). The map update includes expanded Local Responsibility Area designations across 4.6 million Southern California acres. The maps help local agencies identify elevated wildfire risk areas and apply appropriate land use, mitigation and construction standards. Prior to Council consideration, the Newport Beach Fire Department posted the maps on the City's website for public review and comment, and hosted two community outreach events on the subject.
- Amended and restated employment agreements for Newport Beach's city manager and city attorney.
