 Amador County - County officials announced last week that effective July 6 and due to budget cutbacks, Amador County will be adjusting the hours that it will be open to the public for fiscal year 2009-10. The new hours will be Monday through Thursday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and closed on Friday. This change will impact all public service counters and public phone numbers, but not public safety. Emergency Services will still be available. The schedule modification is the result of a cooperative effort between the board of supervisors and several employee bargaining units to absorb the budget reductions caused by a faltering economy while maintaining a full range of services to the community. Staff will be working a 9/36 plan, nine hours a day Monday through Thursday, which is a four hour reduction in pay, or 10 percent, each week. Future cuts will be determined by the direction taken in the upcoming state budget. It is anticipated that the state's budget solutions may cause layoffs that are tied to specific funding sources and program cuts within affected departments. Departments that have evening and weekend hours such as the library, animal control, and public works/road crew and law enforcement will be making other schedule modifications. Appointments may be made with individual departments outside of the new hours to accommodate urgent situations. Details for specific departments or buildings are available on the county's Web site at www.co.amador.ca.us. Staff Release
