City Council Agendas

 The City of Irvine also provides the public opportunities to view City Council meetings on television or online instead of attending in person.

Members of the public who wish to comment on matters before the City Council, in lieu of doing so in person, may participate via “Zoom,” submit comments via “e-comment,” which will be provided to the City Council as part of the City Council meeting record and will be uploaded to the City’s website.

Regular Meetings: Regular meetings of the City Council are held on the second and fourth Tuesdays of each month at 4 p.m. in the City Council Chamber, 1 Civic Center Plaza. Study Sessions or Closed Sessions are held periodically and may begin prior to the start of the regular meeting. Please check the individual agendas.

Speaking at Public Meetings: If you would like to address the City Council on a scheduled agenda item, non-agenda item, or public hearing, please register by completing the electronic form on the kiosk at the entrance to the City Council Chamber. We respectfully ask that you identify on the form your name and the item(s) on which you would like to speak. The Request to Speak form on the kiosk assists the Mayor in ensuring that all persons wishing to address the City Council are recognized. It also ensures the accurate identification of meeting participants in the City Council minutes. Your name will be called at the time public comments and public hearings are heard by the City Council. City policy is to limit public testimony to up to three minutes per speaker depending on relevant circumstances, which includes the presentation of electronic or audio visual information. Speakers may not yield their time to other persons.  

Guidelines for the Submittal of Information by members of the Public for Dissemination at Public Meetings.

Public Comment (Non-Agendized Items): Any member of the public may address the City Council on items within the Council's subject matter jurisdiction but which are not listed on the agenda during public comments. However, no action may be taken on matters that are not part of the posted agenda. If you wish to speak, please register by completing the electronic form on the kiosk at the entrance to the City Council Chamber.

Public Hearings: Public Hearings are scheduled for a time certain of 5:00 p.m. (unless noticed otherwise) or as soon thereafter as possible. Those wishing to address the City Council during the Public Hearing please register by completing the electronic form on the kiosk at the entrance to the City Council Chamber. If, in the future, you wish to challenge in court any of the matters on an agenda for which a public hearing is to be conducted, you may be limited to raising only those issues which you (or someone else) raised orally at the public hearing or in written correspondence received by the City at or before the hearing. Any person seeking to challenge a City Council decision made as a result of a proceeding in which by law a hearing is required to be given, evidence is required to be taken, and the discretion in the determination of facts is vested in the City Council, shall be required to commence that action 90 days following the date on which the decision becomes final as provided in Code of Civil Procedure Section 1094.6. Please refer to Code of Civil Procedure 1094.6 to determine how to calculate when a decision becomes “final.” Notice: Public Hearings listed for continuance will be continued as noted and posting of the agenda serves as notice of continuation. Any matter not noted for continuance, will be posted separately.

Staff Reports: As a general rule, staff reports or other written documentation have been prepared or organized with respect to each item of business listed on the agenda. Copies of these materials are on file with the City Clerk and are available for public inspection and copying once the agenda is publicly posted, (at least one week prior to a regular meeting).
