If requested, the agenda and backup materials will be made available in appropriate alternative formats

TRANSLATION SERVICES: Spanish interpreting services are provided at City Council meetings.
Simultaneous Spanish interpretation is provided through the use of headsets and consecutive
interpretation (Spanish-to-English) is also available to anyone addressing the Council by stating your
request at the podium. The use of city provided interpreters is not required and persons are welcome to
use their own interpreter. Because many dialects and regionalisms exist the City cannot guarantee that
interpreters will be able to interpret into a particular dialect or regionalism, and disclaims any liability
alleged to arise from such services. For translation services in other languages, contact the City Clerk’s
office no later than 48 hours prior to the scheduled meeting.
