Commissioners discuss new highway department hours; Good Friday to be observed this week
Summary
Commissioners reviewed an operational schedule change for the highway department, including an eight-hour workday schedule this week and observing Good Friday as a holiday; a formal motion was discussed but a recorded vote is not in the transcript.
Lee County commissioners discussed scheduling changes for the highway department during the work session, including an eight-hour workday on certain weekdays and observing Good Friday as a county holiday this week.
One speaker described meeting with highway supervisors and said a motion would be made to implement an operations schedule beginning April 28 that ensures the department is open for normal operational practices except on county-observed holidays. The speaker said the schedule “must assure that all departments within the highway department are operational except for the weather cruise” (phraseology in transcript) and that supervisors and mechanics would rotate staff to cover engineering needs on the holiday.
County staff told commissioners they have already implemented an eight-hour day for Monday, Tuesday and Thursday this week and planned to observe Good Friday as a holiday; an engineer will be on site Friday to cover essential duties.
No formal vote or tally appears in the transcript excerpt provided. An individual said a motion would be made; the transcript records operational steps taken this week while the schedule was still being finalized.
Less critical details: The discussion included operational coordination among supervisors and mechanics and thanked staff for accommodating the scheduling changes during a holiday week.
