City Halls Close to Public, Rec Programming Canceled Until Further Notice

10:58 AM | Monday, March 16, 2020

Life in the northwest suburbs has changed as we know it due to the coronavirus outbreak. Places we sometimes take for granted are now closed for at least the next three weeks.

The city of Golden Valley, for instance, has closed city hall to the public. The city’s Department of Motor Vehicles and Brookview Golden Valley are also closed.

According to the city, the closures are in place through at least April 3. Public safety emergency services will continue as usual.

Local Lawmakers to Meet on an “On-Call” Basis

Local lawmakers are also changing how they conduct business. During the next four weeks, lawmakers will meet on an “on-call” basis in places where people can stay at least six feet apart. They will also work remotely when possible.

House Speaker Melissa Hortman, DFL-Brooklyn Park; House Minority Leader Kurt Daudt, R-Crown; Senate Majority Leader Paul Gazelka, R-East Gull Lake; and Senate Minority Leader Susan Kent, DFL-Woodbury, made the announcement Sunday.

According to the legislative leaders, priorities will shift to passing a capital investment bill to fund local projects that could boost the economy and policies aimed at preventing the spread of COVID-19. All unessential proposals will fall away.
