Platteville City Hall Has Re-opened to the Public For Scheduled Appointments and In-person Meetings

As of Monday, June 22, 2020, City Hall has re-opened to the public for scheduled appointments and in-person meetings.  Electronic/drop box/mail-in payments, email, phone and zoom meetings are still encouraged methods for City business.  Those interested in meeting in person are asked to make an appointment by calling (608) 348-9741 or using the City Staff Directory.

In-person meeting attendees will be asked to enter City hall through door N5 off West Mineral Street. Please note that the door will be unlocked right at your scheduled appointment time.  It will not be unlocked earlier. Once in the building, visitors will be guided down the hallway to a sanitation station, which will have sanitizer, gloves, and masks.  Visitors are encouraged to wear a mask or face covering for such meetings.  To the right of the sanitation station, there is a bench directly outside of the temporary City Reception Area, for visitors to wait for staff.  Staff will meet the visitor and either conduct business in the City Reception Area or bring them to a designated conference room upstairs.  Please take a moment to watch this brief video to become familiar with the process.

Visitors and in-person meeting attendees will be required to fill out a contact tracing attendance sheet. This will assist the Grant County Health Department with subsequent contact tracing in the event that it becomes necessary.

For any cash transactions, customers will be asked to place cash on the counter rather than directly into an employee’s hand, and staff will use the same practice when providing change back to customers.  Employees will advise visitors to maintain physical distancing for the duration of their visit.

The City will facilitate restricting unnecessary physical contact between staff and visitors by utilizing signage, floor markings and meeting room layout that maintains physical distancing with a minimum of six-foot distance between individuals.  Signage at entrances to City Hall remind employees and visitors that anyone experiencing COVID-19 symptoms should stay at home and to follow the appropriate social distancing guidelines and recommendations.

The City of Platteville appreciates your compliance and patience during this unprecedented time.
