Community Members:
The City has introduced a new resource in the ongoing effort to address issues related to homelessness: a trespass authorization letter for business and property owners experiencing unauthorized trespassing.
The Newport Beach Police Department (NBPD) trespass authorization letter designates the police department to act as your agent. It grants our officers the authority to request persons who are trespassing to leave your property pursuant to Penal Code section 602(o). Refusal to do so will constitute a trespassing violation and the individual will be subject to arrest.
This authorization allows our officers to take enforcement action when you are not on your property, or after business hours, without having to contact you. The letter must be executed before a notary and delivered to the NBPD by email, first-class mail or in person. The authorization will remain in effect for 12 months unless terminated in writing prior to expiration.
You can visit the NBPD website for more information and to download the authorization letter.
For any questions regarding the authorization letter process, please contact the NBPD at 949-644-3682.
City Manager, Grace K. Leung

Video Shows How City's New 'Trash Wheel' Captures Floating Debris
If you're wondering how the innovative Newport Bay Trash Interceptor operates, this new video is for you! Learn how the device collects trash and debris from the San Diego Creek before it can pollute the Upper Newport Bay Nature Preserve, harbor and beaches.
The Trash Interceptor, also known as the "trash wheel" because it is powered by a 14-foot spinning wheel, was formally dedicated on Friday, March 7, an event that received major media attention throughout our region and state.
This new video shows how a major watershed dumps hundreds of tons of floating trash and debris into the creek every year, and how the trash wheel will stop nearly 80% from entering our bay.
