The health and safety of the community and staff remains the City’s highest priority. In some instances, the City is currently unable to clean all spaces to our high standards, and these spaces will remain closed until we can do so. In other instances, the City must reorganize staff schedules to accommodate changing hours and operations, and a grace period is needed for the City to schedule shifts and bring staff in to ensure that high quality services are offered.
