It also allows city staff to schedule training on week-one Fridays when staff is working in the office but already closed to the public.“This would greatly reduce the need to close offices for training on days they would normally be open,” Wier said. “The week-one Fridays would also allow staff uninterrupted time to work on additional projects.”The new schedule will be implemented Jan. 6, 2020, with the first Friday closure on Jan. 10. googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('ad-1515727'); });
