McDonald County Commission shortens office hours on Mondays and Wednesdays
Summary
The McDonald County Commission voted to change county office hours on Mondays and Wednesdays from 9 a.m.–3 p.m. to 8 a.m.–2 p.m., effective Monday, March 18, 2024; the minutes record the motion but do not list a vote tally or seconder.
Presiding Commissioner Bryan Hall moved on March 11, 2024, for McDonald County offices to change their Monday and Wednesday hours from 9 a.m.–3 p.m. to 8 a.m.–2 p.m.; the minutes record the change will begin Monday, March 18, 2024, and remain "until further notice." The motion is recorded in the official minutes but does not include a recorded second or vote tally.
The change was introduced during the commission’s general business portion of the March 11 minutes. Commissioners in attendance, listed in the minutes, are Bryan Hall (Presiding Commissioner), Jamey Cope (Eastern Commissioner) and Rick Lett (Western Commissioner); County Clerk Kimberly Bell is recorded as present. The minutes state the commission "conducted general county business" but do not itemize additional decisions made that day.
The adjustment shortens the office window by one hour on the affected days, moving opening and closing one hour earlier. The minutes do not specify the reason for the schedule change, how the change will be communicated to the public, or whether service delivery (appointments, phone coverage, or in-person services) will be adjusted beyond the posted hours.
The record lists the commission’s next reconvening date as March 13, 2024, and includes signatures for approval of the minutes. The minutes were approved and signed by Bryan Hall and Rick Lett and list an approval date of Wednesday, March 13, 2024.
The commission did not attach a vote tally or name a seconder in the minutes; the implementation date recorded is March 18, 2024.
