Most employees will be working from home unless they are “absolutely needed” at City Hall.

“I had ordered these plans into effect earlier this year. Most employees will be working from home and those that work inside will be required to wear a mask, social distance, and sanitize while in City Hall. City Hall will be closed to the public until further notice,” Fouts said in a statement.
