Hispanic Heritage Month Events
In celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month, city employees are invited to the Now Café today from noon to 2 p.m. for treats and refreshments. Hispanic Heritage Month runs from Sept. 15 through Oct. 15 and marks the cultures and contributions of both Hispanic and Latino Americans to our nation and society. The Now Café is located on the second floor of City Hall. As always, please check with your supervisor before attending.
We’ll have more information about Hispanic Heritage Month upcoming events in our employee communications on Wednesdays.
COVID-19 Updates
Cases of COVID-19 among city employees jumped once again. There were eight positive employee cases over the last seven days. This compares to zero cases last week. Six employees are awaiting test results. The number of city employees to contract the coronavirus since the pandemic first started now stands at 578.

It remains vital that if you are sick or experiencing symptoms of COVID-19, you stay home and consult your health care provider. Should you test positive for the coronavirus, please notify your supervisor right away, despite the expiration of the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA) or if you have exhausted your Infectious Disease Leave. Human Resources has a plan in place to make sure work areas are then disinfected and potential contacts are notified.
