County public works to shift summer schedule to April 6 for 10-hour days
Summary
Ellis County Public Works will start its 10-hour summer work schedule on April 6 (not March 30) this year to accommodate Good Friday and upcoming projects; commissioners agreed the change would help project delivery for reservation road improvements and asphalt season.
The commission agreed to adjust Public Works' 2026 summer schedule so 10-hour work days begin April 6 instead of March 30 to avoid a Good Friday conflict. Brandon, the county Public Works director, asked for the later start date to accommodate project timelines and said the change would help with Reservation Road improvements and the asphalt season.
Commissioners signaled support, with several saying the change would make operations more efficient and aid project completion. No formal roll-call vote was recorded; staff implemented the schedule adjustment as administrative practice for the department.
