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.

Simultaneous interpretation is provided through the use of headsets and consecutive interpretation (Spanish-to-English) is also available to anyone addressing the City Council by stating your request at the podium. The use of City provided interpreters is not required and persons are welcomed to use their own interpreter. Because many dialects and regionalism 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 (949) 443-6310, no later than 48 prior to the scheduled meeting.
