City Hall Closure Monday

Newport Beach City Hall will close for a few hours Monday so city staff can work on preparations for moving into the new Civic Center.

On Monday, March 11 City Hall will be closed from 1 to 5:30 p.m., according to a city memo. It will reopen at 7:30 a.m. on Tuesday, March 12. Although all city offices and public counters will be closed, city staff will be on-site to sort and scan documents, consolidate files and prepare for the move to the new City Hall location at 100 Civic Center Drive.

City officials say the official move date is tentatively scheduled for Friday, April 5 and Saturday, April 6.

City Hall is also expected to be closed from Friday, April 5 through at most Wednesday, April 10. City staff will be working on those days to unpack and prepare offices at the Civic Center. According to the city memo, disconnecting and reconnecting the data center and restoring the more than 200 staff computers will be the most time-consuming element of the move. City staff says if the move can be completed more quickly than the scheduled time frame, offices and public counters will reopen sooner.
