AD ASTRA: A PLAN TO REOPEN KANSAS

A Guide for Businesses

Maize City Hall Remains Closed to the Public - All City Services Remain Operational

On May 27, 2020, Sedgwick County Commissioners voted to not impose additional limits and recommend that Sedgwick County residents and businesses continue to adhere to the phases and guidance in the state’s Ad Astra plan. Public gatherings are further defined as persons commonly known to one another and allow gatherings of up to 20 individuals rather than 15 through Phase 2.

The City of Maize will be adhering to the County’s recommendation in reopening the City’s facilities. This plan may be subject to change per the guidance of County’s health officials.

City Hall will be reopened to the public beginning June 8th with CDC recommended best practices in place to protect all who are in the building. Please be mindful of instructions that will be posted for visiting City Hall.

City Park: The playground equipment will be re-opened on May 30th. Please be advised that the equipment is not sanitized. The Splash Pad, Community Building rentals and the restrooms will be reopened at the beginning of Phase 4, which is currently scheduled for June 22.

The public is advised to monitor the City of Maize website and Facebook page for any modification of the above schedule.
