City offices closed again

Find contact information here

 

November 20, 2020



As a result of the spike in Covid-19 cases in this area, public access to Cloquet City Hall and other city facilities was suspended starting Wednesday, Nov. 18. The city will still offer all core services, including police, public works, building and zoning permits, inspections and applications and more.

City administrator Tim Peterson said the closure will inconvenience some residents, but city officials believe the decision is in the best interest of the community as a whole. The city has also struggled with staff missing work due to either being sick or having to quarantine, so closing City Hall will also help with that.

Staff will still be working, either from home or in their offices. Front office staff will continue to answer phones, along with the finance and other city departments. City council meetings will continue to be conducted virtually and livestreamed on the city website at http://www.cloquetmn.gov. They also appear on the CAT-7 cable access channel.
