As COVID-19 rates continue to increase, the City of Aurora government will decrease public access hours to help mitigate the spread of the virus.
The City government will reduce public hours from its current three-day a week schedule to just two days per week. Beginning the week of November 30, Aurora City Hall and other general City buildings only will be open to the public Wednesdays and Fridays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.. The first hour is reserved for senior citizens.
All visitors must continue to take a health screening prior to entering the building, including a temperature check, questionnaire and signing-in for contact tracing requirements.
The Aurora Police Department and the Aurora Fire Department will continue to provide emergency assistance and respond to calls on the regular 24-hour per day schedule.
Other City business still can be conducted online or through E-mail and phone calls. The public can call 630-256-4636 during normal business hours to reach the appropriate department.
This schedule will be maintained until mitigations are eased by the State.
Mask pick-up still available
Individuals and families can continue to pick-up free face masks as part of the Mask Up, Aurora campaign at the Aurora Customer Service Center, 3770 McCoy Drive, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesday and Fridays. Learn more at www.aurora-il.org/MaskUpAurora.
