POLA Board Hearing Room Reopens to the Public Nov. 3

SAN PEDRO The Los Angeles Board of Harbor Commissioners will convene an in-person board meeting at 9 a.m. Thursday, Nov. 3 at the Port of Los Angeles Administration Building, 425 S. Palos Verdes Street in San Pedro, for the first time since March 2020.

While meetings will continue to be webcast live and on-demand at portoflosangeles.org, they will once again be open to the public for in-person attendance. Pursuant to City of Los Angeles Ordinance No. 187219, proof of a COVID-19 vaccination for individuals 12 years of age or older is required to enter an indoor portion of a City facility. Alternatively, visitors may show proof of a negative PCR or antigen COVID-19 test conducted within 72 hours before entry.  

Members of the public have two options to provide comment, either in person or in writing. In-person comments require speaker registration that occurs the day of the meeting prior to an item being called. Written comments must be submitted via email to commissioners@portla.org before 3 p.m. the day before the meeting

Videoconference meetings began on April 9, 2020 amid the pandemic to accommodate physical distancing best practices. Commissioners recently voted to return to in-person meetings, while also allowing for remote meetings should they become necessary in the future.
