City of Berkley COVID-19 Update - April 26, 2021

Berkley community,

We are writing to inform you that we have had a staff member test positive for COVID-19 within City Hall. For privacy and HIPPA regulation, the name of the employee will not be disclosed.

With our COVID-19 safety standards, we have sent home all that have been potentially exposed to curb any additional contamination to any other Departments. City Hall will also be electrostatically sanitized and disinfected. 

Unfortunately, the Clerk's Office and Treasury Department will be shut down for at least 48 hours, pending negative test results from the potentially exposed staff. At that time, we will be able to reassess if additional exposure has happened or if we can reopen those Departments. 

We want to assure you there will be no penalties on your end, we just ask for your patience until we can be certain that the exposure has been contained and no one else gets sick. 

With this, the following services will NOT be available for each Department: 

CLERK'S OFFICE

  • Election-Related Business
  • FOIA/Records
  • Pet Licensing 
    • Note: Anything placed within the secured dropbox will NOT be processed until staff return from quarantine. There will not be any penalty/late fees. 
TREASURY'S OFFICE

    • Note: Anything placed within the secured dropbox will NOT be processed until staff return from quarantine. There will not be any penalty/late fees.
