City Hall Closed

The city announced yesterday afternoon that City Hall will remain closed to the public until March 31, except on Tuesday, Election Day, as the civic center is a polling place. Offices will remain open but only accessible by phone or email and bills can be paid via the city website, by mail or through the dropbox on the west side of the building. The city will waive late fees for bills due during this period as it realizes paying might prove difficult for some people.

I can see canceling events at the civic center and town square pavilion, due to the desire to minimize large groups of people but shuttering the entire building doesn't make much sense. After all, it isn't like large crowds of people wander the halls. Security pass codes keep anyone from the upper floors  so the only places readily accessible are the ballrooms and the revenue office.
