(KNZA)--Public access to the Horton City Hall is being limited due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The City announced in a news release on its Facebook page Tuesday that, effective immediately, the front door of City Hall will be locked to the public, but monitored by the police communication dispatchers around the clock.

City Administator John Calhoon said the closure is a proactive measure to protect the most vulnerable members of the community and city staff that will continue to provide essential services with the highest level of caution.

Calhoon said no city parks are being closed at this time.

However, he said both may re-evaluated if any positive COVID-19 cases are reported in Brown County.

At this time, city commission meetings will proceed as scheduled, but non-essential city boad meetings will likely be cancelled or rescheduled.

The city encourages customers to pay their utility bills online or use the drop box located to the right of the front door of City Hall.
