Revision to City Office Closures
Placeholder Image
The City of Oakdale has revised its original recommendation to have city offices closed one day per week – Fridays – in favor to having city offices open up two hours later at 10 a.m., four days a week, Tuesday through Friday.

With the change, city business hours will also extend one hour, until 6 p.m., on the second Wednesday of the month. The purpose of the one-hour extension is to satisfy the surge in demand for service by walk-in customers that day due to water shut-offs.

Effective April 17, 2011, the new city hours will be 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Mondays and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday to Friday with extended hours of 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. on the second Wednesday of the month.

The purpose of the closure stems from a proposal by councilman Michael Brennan last month when he suggested a one-day closure for the purpose of city workers having uninterrupted time to be able to catch up on backlog or use the time for training sessions.
