  • City Council
  • Environmental Planning Commission
  • Rental Housing Committee

In addition to AI translation for over 60 different languages, in-person interpretation services remain available in Spanish and Chinese for City Council meetings upon request. Requests for in-person interpretation must be submitted to the City Clerk’s Office no later than 5:00 p.m. two business days before the meeting by phone at 650-903-6304 or by email at City.Clerk@mountainview.gov.
