Servicios de traducción: (Translation Services: See paragraph below for description in English) La ciudad prove servicios de interpretación al Español en las juantas del Concejo. La interpretación simultánea al español se ofrece por medio del uso de audífonos y la interpretación consecutive (Español a Inglés) también está disponible para cualquiera que dese dirigirse al Ayuntamiento, declarando su petición en el podio. No se requiere el uso de los servicios de intepretación de la Ciudad; las personas pueden proveer su propio intérprete, si lo desean. Debido a que existen muchos dialectos y regionalismos, la Ciudad no puede garantizar que los intérpretes puedan traducer a un dialecto o regionalism en particular y rehúsa cualquier responsabilidad que surja de tales servicios. Para servicios de interpretación en otros idiomas, comuníquese con la oficina de la Ciudad (City Clerk) (949) 443-6310, cuando menos 48 horas antes de la junta programada.
