City Hall administrative staff have temporarily vacated the building following findings from a January Commercial Building Code inspection report and the Fire Marshal’s General Fire Inspection (PDF) conducted this week. While the facility had previously been closed to the public, except for limited City Manager and Council office hours, it has now been deemed unsafe for employee occupancy until an evaluation can be completed by a licensed structural engineer.
As of February 17, 2026, administrative staff are working remotely while the City’s Leadership Team identifies temporary office locations.
City Manager and Council office hours have been canceled this week. Updated location information will be posted on the City website as it becomes available.
