Re: Extension of Shutdown of City Hall, Community Rooms, Parks and Playgrounds
for the City of Riverdale
After discussions with public health officials and the Riverdale City Council, I
have decided to extend the shutdown of the parks, playgrounds, and community room
for the City of Riverdale. The shutdown of these City facilities/amenities will be in effect
through May 15, 2020, and will be extended if, in my opinion, the health and well-being
of the community could be adversely affected by the unintended spread of COVID-19
should groups of citizens gather at a public meeting spot.
I have also instructed our staff to keep City Hall closed but to remain available to
residents during regular business hours on a "by appointment" basis (for in -person
meetings) and remotely via email or phone.
It is our desire to see the City's parks and playgrounds full of people as soon as
possible. But the City Council and I both agree that it's better for us to err on the side of
caution and encourage social distancing to slow the spread of the coronavirus.
