City of Sheffield Closed for Business

After we posted a comment from a reader attempting to contact Sheffield city hall, we were told by several that the City of Sheffield is closed. Period.

The police department in the basement of the municipal building is open, but everything else is closed. The above number leads nowhere. There's not even voice mail to be accessed externally. Think about that.

What happens if some hackers in Belarus get lucky and clean out the city's bank account? How long before the city is aware of the theft? 

Other Shoals cities are maintaining a skeleton staff at their municipal buildings. Perhaps everyone in Sheffield city government just decided to go home and wait for Inspiration Landing to magically appear? Good luck with that...
