Bethel First Selectman Matt Knickerbocker has created a committee to prepare the town for when things can reopen to the public.  Key department heads are part of the committee tasked with making changes in town hall, including physical barriers to keep staff and members of the public safe while they transact business.  Some offices will have to increase distance between work stations and make changes in work procedures.  When it comes to town facilities, such as playgrounds, basketball and tennis courts, Knickerbocker says he will follow the guidance of the state’s medical and health authorities.  He plans to coordinate reopening plans with neighboring towns.
