Council approves Monday–Friday hours with administrator-authorized flex scheduling
Summary
After extended discussion about coverage and staffing, the council approved keeping city hall open Monday–Friday (8:00–4:30 for constituents) and authorized the administrator to implement a flex schedule (rotating Fridays off) so departments retain coverage.
The council debated whether to keep summer-style flex Fridays or return to standard hours and ultimately passed an amended motion to keep city hall open Monday–Friday for constituents while allowing department-level flex scheduling managed by the administrator.
Councilmember Robin moved that "city halls open all 5 days staffed with the ability for the administrator to work through flex schedules to ensure that constituents have services rendered when they come to the counter." The motion was seconded and, after clarification and an amendment to specify constituent-facing hours of 8:00–4:30 and Friday flex scheduling, passed by voice vote.
Council members and staff discussed tracking front‑desk activity to evaluate demand, the need to ensure at least one planning & zoning representative on duty when required, and concerns about department staffing during emergency events (plowing, sewer incidents) in winter months. Administrator Laurie Conway said staff will implement a departmental rotation so expertise is available during core hours and will report coverage tallies back to council.
