Check-in Process

  • When arriving at the Government Center, visitors should park in the ground floor parking lot. The parking garage is for employees only.
  • Visitors must enter the Government Center through the main front entrance (not the parking garage). All visitors are required to check-in with City staff on the 1st floor main lobby of the Government Center. Visitors must have their driver’s license (or some form of photo identification) with them. 
  • Visitors will be required to take a photo for the visitor badge (this photo can be saved in our system, for future visits, for your convenience). 
  • Once all steps are completed, visitors will be issued a visitor badge, which must be worn at all times while in the facility. 

Helpful Tip: Download the mobile app “Sine Pro” ahead of time to expedite your check-in process via your mobile device. You can begin the process as soon as you are in the parking lot of the Government Center. Upon entry, (you will only need to show confirmation of your check in and) your visitor badge will be issued.
