Elmhurst Mayor Steve Morley issued a March 23 Executive Order with the intent of lessoning the hardships that have transpired due to the spread of Coronavirus (COVID-19).
COVID-19 has resulted in significant economic impact, including the loss of income and wages, that undermines financial security and stability for the Elmhurst residents and business owners.
“We are constantly evaluating ways in which we can provide services and relief to Elmhurst residents and business owners during this difficult time,” stated Mayor Morley. “We are prepared to protect our community and take measures to alleviate the burden that has resulted from this pandemic.”
The Executive Order features a provision that will allow Elmhurst Hospital to establish a temporary emergency daycare facility for children of staff and employees, while providing essential health care services as deemed appropriate by the City.
The Executive Order also includes the following:
UNINTERRUPTED SERVICE/ LATE FEES
Delinquent charges and discontinuation of services are temporarily suspended.
VEHICLE LICENSE FEES
The payment of vehicle license fees for City vehicle stickers is extended to June 1, 2020.
