City Administrator, Jennifer Moody, announced today that City Hall will now be closed to the public for the safety of employees and the public during the COVID-19 pandemic through Sunday, May 3, 2020. All services performed at City Hall will continue online or by phone.

Citizens may call or do business online.” This additional time will also allow for workers to complete the installation of new glass windows in the customer service area at City Hall.
