What to Expect When Coming to City Hall

The City's COVID-19 safety procedure includes:

• All staff will be wearing personal protective equipment
• Installation of sneeze shields
• Installation of hand sanitizing stations
• Markers placed on the floor to maintain social distancing 
• We ask that all patrons wear a mask when entering the building

It is important to note that this is a fluid reopen process. Information changes constantly and we are trying to adapt as best we can. Our first priority is our staff and the public's safety.
