NEW ENTRY/EXIT RULES AT BOTH CITY HALL, CALVIN C. GOODE
SECURITY CHANGES ANNOUNCED
The safety and security of employees and
citizens who use two of our largest city office
facilities is a top priority. After careful
consideration with experts, new security
procedures will soon be in place for all city staff,
contractors, vendors and the visiting public.
Much of the new security process will be similar
to what’s already in place at the Phoenix
Municipal Court. It will take time to learn the
new required protocols for entering and exiting
the buildings. Please be patient with the staff
who are managing the security processes.
Employee Entrance to City Hall:
Employees with security card access to City Hall, can con-
tinue to enter through the west doors off of 3rd Avenue.
Employees without security card access to City Hall will
need to enter through the main entrance under the iconic
sunburst.
Employees who do not have a city issued ID badge will be
required to pass through a full security screening at the
main entrance. (Uniformed police officers are excluded.)
Visitors Entering City Hall:
All visitors will enter only through the main entrance
(under sunburst) and pass through a full security
screening and/or hand-held metal detector. All bags will
be screened through an x-ray machine.
East Entrance to City Hall:
The east doors will be permanently closed. There will be
no entry or exit through the east doors.
Exiting City Hall:
Visitors will only exit through the south doors.
Employees may exit through either the south or west
doors.
