News

April 30th, 2020 by Ric Hanson

The Montgomery County Board of Supervisors will begin re-opening County facilities on Monday, May 4, 2020, with restrictions. The Supervisors will take a phased approach to help combat the COVID-19 virus and help reduce the spread. Anyone needing in-person services with a County office will be by appointment only. Auditor Stephanie Burke says “We strongly encourage residents to continue doing business through email, phone, mail or drop box.”

There will be new safety procedures in place. Anyone that must do business in-person is required to make an appointment with the corresponding office prior to coming into the building. Visitors will be met at the door, and they must wear a mask or face covering to enter the building and are subject to other PPE requirements. The visitor will also be screened by a County employee with assessment questions that are recommended by the Center for Disease Control.

Burke said “We have to protect our employees from the public, and we have to protect the public coming in.” Only customers that are directly required to complete the transaction will be allowed. (Examples: only one parent per minor for consent, no other guests including children, etc.)

The Montgomery County Board of Supervisors will re-evaluate procedures on May 14 to see if the County needs to extend or soften the practices. The Montgomery County Board of Supervisors and all County departments thanks the community for their patience and understanding during this difficult time.
