City of Berkley Closing to the Public Due to Rise in COVID-19 Cases Starting Tuesday, November 17

(City of Berkley COVID-19 Update - November 13, 2020)

Due to the rising COVID-19 case numbers and the small capacity of our building, City Hall will be closed to the public starting Tuesday, November 17, 2020. 

Services WILL STILL BE operational as staff will continue to be working as they have done since the beginning of the shutdown. This decision was made to ensure that our staff can continue to work safely and can continue to provide our community with exceptional service. We appreciate your patience with us as we continue to navigate through this.

We will be reassessing the closure of City Hall at the beginning of February.
