All services will remain unchanged as described in Amendments No. 1 and No. 2, with the exception of City Hall hours, City Hall is now closed on Fridays, and a modification to staffing at the Civic Center will occur, which will include: instead of assigning one (1) unarmed guard to each location, the amendment provides for one (1) unarmed guard to patrol both sites.
