Fountain Valley City Hall, other city services reopened to general public
After months of closure, the doors are open again to civic facilities in Fountain Valley — albeit with some additional precautions.
As of Monday, Fountain Valley’s city hall, police department and recreation center are now open to the general public. Members of the public are required to wear face coverings inside City Hall and all city facilities, maintain 6 feet of distance from one another and wait outside on marked locations until directed by staff to enter. Individuals who are sick are advised to call or email city staff.
Fountain Valley City Hall initially closed March 18.
The soft reopenings come as part of the second wave of the state’s rollbacks on nonessential businesses. The Center at Founders Village, also known as the Fountain Valley Senior Recreation Center, will remain closed until further notice.

Other cities have also begun taking actions to resume services to the public. Newport Beach reopened its permit center on Monday. It plans to reopen the building and safety counter on May 26 and restart all city services by June 1.
At their last meeting on May 12, Laguna Beach City Council approved staff recommendations to reopen all city buildings to the public as of late May or early June as long as required state safety measures for offices and work areas can be implemented to ensure social distancing between city staff and between employees and the public.
Both the city staff and the public would be required to wear face coverings.
Costa Mesa and Huntington Beach city halls and facilities remained closed to the public indefinitely as of Tuesday afternoon.
