■Visiting City Hall to make a payment during limited office hours (Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.)

According to the release, all visitors must sign in at the door, use hand sanitizer upon entry, and wear a face covering while in the building. Face coverings will be available for visitors who don’t have them. Additionally, all visitors will be asked to stay 6 feet apart.
