Rehoboth Town Hall Resumes Operations

Posted

Town Hall resumed operations on June 8, with staffing set at a level of 25 percent capacity per office in order to allow for social distancing. However, the facility, which has been closed since the middle of March due to the coronavirus pandemic, is not yet open to the public, according to Town Administrator Deborah Arruda. In a June 3 memo to town employees, Arruda noted the hours of operation will continue Monday through Thursday 8am to 4pm. “Whether working remotely or in the office.  Fridays we will continue to work remotely 8am-12pm, until further notice,” Arruda wrote.

“Based on the guidance from the Department of Health, all employees will continue to wear face coverings in the office, wash hands as much as possible or use hand sanitizer, and keep personal areas sanitized,” Arruda added. Town Clerk and Treasurer/Collector are elected officials and will staff their offices according to the guidelines as well. The building is being cleaned and disinfected twice a week by a cleaning service. Employees are being encouraged to wipe down copiers and other commonly used areas after each use.  All incoming mail will be quarantined for a 24 hour period.

Selectmen have said that town buildings could be accessed by the public as early as July as the state enters Phase III of reopening.
