Dearborn Plans To Reopen Admin Center June 15

DEARBORN, MI — The city is planning to reopen the Dearborn Administrative Center to the public beginning June 15, with strict safety provisions in place, officials said in a news release Monday.

City officials said the intent is for the center to open to public from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays and to remain closed to the public on Fridays.

“We are proceeding with care to ensure when we reopen buildings, and reinstate more city services, we are prioritizing your health,” Mayor John B. O’Reilly, Jr. said. “We are here to serve you for the long term, and to do so effectively, we must first give you and our employees the tools and protocols to stay safe for the long term.”

As of Monday, the city said it was also reviewing opportunities for additional recreation facilities to reopen. Officials said they expect for information to be available later in the week regarding the status of splash pads, playgrounds and other facilities that garner a high interest from the public.

Some services that would bring people to the administrative center, such as paying city bills, requesting a building permit or other paperwork, are available online. Officials are asking residents to see if what they need is available online before vising the center to reduce traffic.

The city said the following measures will be in place at the administrative center beginning June 15:

• Masks are required for entry into the building and for service
• Customers will have their temperature taken before entry
• Customers will be asked to line up at six foot distances while waiting for entry
• Only a limited number of customers will be allowed inside at one time, based on capacity to observe the six foot distance rule
• Hand sanitizers will be available
