The City anticipates three Long Beach City Council meetings to be held at the LBCC Liberal Arts Campus.
City meetings will take place in various locations around Long Beach for the next month, as the City Hall Council Chambers undergo sound and lighting upgrades.
The upgrades are meant to enhance streaming capabilities for online viewers with additional speakers and better lighting above the city clerk station and the lectern where members of the public speak. The lectern will also receive a new, longer microphone for those with disabilities who can’t reach the microphone.
For the time being, City Council meetings and Planning Commission meetings will be held at the Long Beach City College Liberal Arts Campus in Building T, room 1100. Parking is free and open to the public in Parking Structure 1, located off Clark Avenue and East Lew Davis Street.

The Long Beach City Clerk said council and Planning Commission meetings will not see a disruption in streaming for the public.
The upgrades will cost $158,000 from the Civic Center funds, and are expected to be completed by mid-February.
A second phase of renovations are in the design phase, said Technology and Innovation Department Director Lea Eriksen. Those upgrades will enhance the language access and translation services in the chambers.
