The Mayor’s Office, Licensing Department, Assessor’s Office, and Retirement Office will remain open by appointment only. Additionally, Veterans Services is now open 8:30am-5:00pm by appointment only.
There are social distancing measures in place for visitors to these open office locations. Visitors must sign in at the door, use hand sanitizer upon entry, and wear a face covering at all times while in the building. Visitors will be counted, and should remain six feet apart at all times. With the exception of existing medical issues, failure to observe these requirements will mean no entry to the building. A tent will be set up outside for shade and shelter should capacity be reached and visitors need to wait outside for entry into the building. In addition, face coverings will be provided by the city to any visitors who do not have one.
