(KNZA)--The Hiawatha City Commission voted unanimously Monday evening to reopen the Fisher Center.
The action came after Recreation Director Stacy Jasper developed a plan for safely reopening the facility, which has been closed to the public since last November to help mitigate the spread of the coronavirus.
All customers renting and/or reserving the Fisher Center will be required to sign a COVID waiver and follow safety protocols. Masks will be required for entry.
Walkers may utilize the facility between 8 and 10 Monday through Friday mornings, depending on gym availability. Your asked to call ahead of time.
Later in the meeting, Commissioner Brian Shefferd made a motion to reopen City Hall, with customers required to wear masks and social distance. However, the motion died due to the lack of a second.
City Hall is currently open by appointment only.
Mayor Bill Collins expressed concerns about the safety of staff, if they were to re-open City Hall.
