City Facilities to Remain Closed on Wednesday
September 15, 2020 – Because of the continued public health risks associated with exposure to unhealthy air quality conditions, all City facilities are to remain closed on Wednesday, Sept. 16, and until air quality levels significantly improve.
The Library, City Hall and the Parks & Rec. Admin. Building are closed on Wednesday. Additionally, all recreation camps offered through Parks and Recreation are canceled for the remainder of the week.
Despite the closure, Wednesday’s Planning Commission meeting is proceeding virtually at 6 pm. Remote participation in the meeting is available to the public; the meeting is being streamed live on the City's YouTube Channel.
On Monday, the City announced the cancellation of Municipal Court proceedings and the Urban Forest Management Plan virtual open house previously scheduled to take place this evening.
SMART Transit is continuing to operate all routes on schedule during the City facility closures.
Until air quality is no longer at “unhealthy” levels, it is recommended that people remain indoors when possible. The airnow.gov website provides information on local air quality, and has information about the impact of diminished air quality on public health when fires are present.
