Despite a response to the COVID-19 pandemic that led to widespread shutdowns and other business restrictions, the city of Goodyear is in good financial shape—even better than 2019, according to a report presented at the Dec. 14 Goodyear City Council meeting.
At the same meeting, Goodyear Human Resources Director Lyman Locket presented a request to extend COVID-19-related emergency leave.
“In the first seven months of the pandemic, we’ve had 89 or our employees access this leave—and in recent weeks we’ve had a minor surge,” Lockett said.
