The Town Hall offices continues to be open by appointment only, we have installed a doorbell to use to announce your arrival. It is strongly suggested that members of the public make an appointment with the department they need to see. Everyone (public included) must wear a face covering when conducting business if unable to maintain a 6 foot distance, unless there is a medical reason not to. All entering building must sanitize hands upon entering and exiting the building. Hand sanitizer is stationed throughout the building. Entry will be limited to 5 members of the public at a time. The offices to be staffed full time are the Administrative Assistant and Police Department. All other offices will be staffed part time. In an effort to avoid face to face meetings, online or telephone meetings can be scheduled. By determination of the Attorney General all members of the public must attend meetings remotely by phone or computer.
The Administrative Assistant's office will be closed September 28 - 30.

We thank you for your continued cooperation, understanding and patience during this difficult time. Up-to-date COVID-19 information will be posted on the Town's website: www.montereyma.gov under the Board of Health page.
