City again delays phased reopening
Tuesday, September 8, 2020 by Elizabeth Pagano
The city has, once again, delayed its phased reopening plan. This time, according to a Sept. 4 memo from City Manager Spencer Cronk, phase one of the plan will be delayed until “at least the end of November 2020.” That phase was originally scheduled to begin on June 29. The memo explains, “This weekend marks six months since our region first declared a local state of disaster in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. During this time, city departments have continued to provide essential services to our residents while also offering our employees more opportunities for teleworking and flex scheduling. …We have long believed and planned to return to our work environments once the pandemic subsided. As we learn more about this disease, we are working to clearly define what a ‘workplace of the future’ post-Covid will look like for our organization.”
