On November 30, 2020 Mayor Michael Helfrich and the City of York announced indefinite modified operations for City of York departments. These precautions are being implemented due to the current and anticipated surge in COVID-19 cases throughout the region. These modifications include work at home orders for employees that are able to perform their duties remotely. Desk landline phones will be rerouted to assigned city cell phones and additional IT needs will be filled when needed.
