The Police Station has a physical barrier between the public and employees. City Hall employees who can work from home have been allowed to take their laptop and desktop pc and monitors home. VPN access is provided for those who need to access city servers. The remaining City Hall employees are socially distanced in their offices or workstations. Cleaning supplies, latex gloves and masks are provided as needed. Signs are posted reminding employees to social distance. Field staff have keys to their vehicle and do not enter City Hall if they do not need to. Appointments are made when public meetings are needed. Drop offs are at the front door with a number to call at the front desk. Public Works employees each have their own vehicle and practice social distancing in the field.

Public Safety employees use social distancing and have sanitation and PPE materials posted throughout the facility. Employees, visitors, and customers are prohibited from gathering in groups. Employees and visitors are prohibited from gathering in confined areas, including elevators, and from using other employees’ personal protective equipment, phones, computer equipment, desks, cubicles, workstations, offices or other personal work tools and equipment. Council and Commission meeting rooms will have socially spaced seating. Public access and egress will be in a one-way, counterclockwise direction.

At polling stations for local elections voters will be kept at least 6 feet apart. When not feasible, efforts will be made to keep individuals as far apart as is practical. Feasibility of strategies will depend on the space available in the polling station and the number of voters who arrive at one time. Election judges can:  Increase distance between voting booths.  Limit nonessential visitors. (will be encouraged not to bring children, grandchildren)  Remind voters upon arrival to try to leave space between themselves and others. Encourage voters to stay 6 feet apart if feasible. Signs will be provided to help voters and workers remember.  Discourage voters and election judge workers from greeting others with physical contact (e.g., handshakes). Include this reminder on signs about social distancing.
