“Back On Track Stage 3” Begins Friday, May 22
Governor Eric Holcomb will fast-track most of Indiana — including Evansville — into Stage 3 of the Back on Track Indiana plan starting Friday, May 22.  For a list of Stage 3 guidelines, visit backontrack.in.gov (PDF).
Department of Parks & Recreation staff will start work immediately to reopen our basketball, tennis/pickleball courts, and playgrounds for the weekend holiday.
As City employees return to work at the Civic Center starting Tuesday, May 26, they will notice a number of changes to city offices as a result of the pandemic.
Acrylic sneeze guards have been installed in areas dealing directly with the public, and the Building Authority has installed more hand sanitizing stations and social distancing reminders.
Every administrative employee will be given two cloth masks and a personal supply of hand sanitizer. Each office will have cleaning supplies in stock so that employees can clean their individual work stations.
Face coverings will be required upon entrance to the building and in all common areas.
Each employee will be given a no-contact temperature scan outside the complex.
Early Voting
Although the Civic Center will still be closed to the general public on May 26, voting at the Civic Center will begin at 8 a.m. that day.
Voters will be allowed into the building for voting purposes only.
Access will be limited to a voting location on the first floor near the Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard entrance rather than in the Election Office on the second floor as in previous elections.
City offices, including the Civic Center, will re-open to the public on Monday, June 15. At that time, and for a period until at least July 6, all visitors to the Civic Center will be required to have a temperature scan and wear a face covering. Visitors whose temperature registers higher than 100 degrees will not be allowed into the building. Disposable masks will be distributed to those visitors who arrive for city/county business but have no face covering.
