As both a sign of progress and with an abundance of caution, the city government of Aurora reopened City Hall and other City offices this week to the public with additional safety measures in place.
Aurora City Hall, the Aldermen’s Office and the Customer Service Center reopened to the public at 8 a.m. Monday, July 6. As the city government makes its transition into Phase 4 of the Reopen Illinois Plan, these facilities will be open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. The first hour of each day is reserved for senior citizens. Facilities will be closed to the public on Tuesdays and Thursdays until further notice.
To prepare for the reopening, following CDC, State and County Health Department guidance, the city government already has implemented several precautionary measures, including installing plexiglass sneeze guards at customer service areas, reconfiguring customer areas to meet to accommodate the six feet for adequate social distancing, installing signage to guide social distancing, and to display new capacity limits for specific areas, increasing the frequency of cleaning and disinfecting and preparing Aurora staff members for the new procedures and precautions.
All city government employees will be required to wear masks, or face coverings and have their temperature taken at the beginning of each work shift.
The same conditions will apply for public visitors to City facilities.
