Long Beach, CA – The City of Long Beach today announced it will resume in-person City Council meetings at the Bob Foster Civic Chambers, located at 411 W. Ocean Blvd., beginning Tuesday, Sept. 6, 2022.

Council meetings temporarily transitioned to in-person/virtual hybrid format in July due to the COVID-19 surge. As cases continue to steadily decline, the City is reopening its Civic Chamber doors and looks forward to welcoming the public back in person once again.

Once the City fully resumes in-person meetings, Webex/Zoom will no longer be utilized for public participation. Individuals interested in providing public comment must appear physically in the Civic Chamber. Facial coverings will be highly recommended, in accordance with State guidance issued by the California Department of Public Health.

City Council meetings will continue to be streamed online on the City’s Granicus page and Long Beach Television’s (LBTV’s) website, cable channels and YouTube Channel.

The City has implemented various tools and services to continue to promote equitable community involvement in City Council meetings throughout the pandemic including providing real-time Spanish interpretation, and continuing the utilization of the eComment feature, which allows the public to provide comments on agenda items until 4 p.m. on each meeting day, and the submission of written comments to the City Clerk at cityclerk@longbeach.gov.
