The Common Council voted 6-4 Tuesday, May 26, 2020 at their regular Common Council meeting to open up City facilities and resume services on Monday, June 1, 2020, after being closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
City Administrator Steve Barg outlined a detailed plan to the Council to open up City facilities with precautions set in place. According to Barg, facility management staffs are already in the process of making the necessary arrangements. "We look forward to reopening our buildings and facilities to the public but we are committed to making sure that we protect the health and safety of the staff and citizens," said Barg.
City departments will follow the Center for Disease Control (CDC) recommendations, such as practicing social distancing, washing hands and providing safety measures for both the public and staff at each of their sites, which was also recommended by several members of the Council during the meeting.

Donor steps forward for naming rights of the Marshfield Outdoor Aquatic Cen
ter
The Marshfield Outdoor Aquatic Center Campaign Fundraising Committee is thrilled to announce the Marshfield Outdoor Aquatic Center has secured naming rights. The individuals want to remain anonymous for the time being, so they can get some things in order, however, they wanted the Common Council to be the first to hear the announcement about their donation, according to Justin Casperson Parks and Recreation Director.
The donation brings the private fundraising total to $2.5 million of the $3 million needed for the project to move forward. "This is wonderful and positive news for our community and residents of the City of Marshfield. This gift gets us much closer to reaching our goal," said Casperson.
