It appears that Estevan City Hall will remain closed to public access for a little while longer.
During the inquiries portion of Monday night鈥檚 Estevan city council meeting, Councillor Shelly Veroba wanted to know when City Hall would be open to the public again. Mayor Roy Ludwig responded city council will ultimately have to make that decision.
City manager Jeff Ward said he has been part of a conference call with other cities in the province twice a week. Most cities are trying to align the opening of their municipal office buildings with Phase 4 of the province鈥檚 Re-Open Saskatchewan Plan, which includes recreation facilities.
A date has not been set for when Phase 4 would occur.
Some smaller communities have opened their town or village offices already, including a few in southeast Saskatchewan.
鈥淲e did look at the potential opening for a couple of hours per day last week in discussion with our staff. We鈥檙e just trying to have that balance of everyone feeling safe, while still 小蓝视频 accessible to public,鈥� said Ward.
People Veroba has talked to believe that if they can go to a retail store, they should be able to come to city hall and pay their water bill. She suggested they pay using direct deposit, but they would rather come to city hall and pay.
Since March 17, city hall services have been available over the phone. Payments can be made through a drop box at the building, via a bank or online.听
