New hours for City Hall begins the week of Sept. 27th

City Hall has new hours starting the week of September 27, 2021 authorized by the Common Council at its last meeting on September 14th. Hours will be Monday - Thursday, 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and Friday 7:30 a.m. to noon. The first Friday with early closing at City Hall only will be Friday, October 1 at noon. We are reverting to the approach that we used during our 4-week summer hours pilot program. City Hall staff is expected to work a full 40-hour week, which gives our front-line staff the opportunity to work on projects assigned by their supervisors. Departments located outside City Hall have different hours so please refer to the City website under the department section, here.
