Posted By John Butters Wellman public works employees will have a shift change for the month of January, following council action on Monday, Dec. 21. City Manager Kelly Litwiller said she had been asked by public works employees to consider changing the workday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. to 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Some council members wondered if starting the workday in darkness during the shorter days of the year would be beneficial for the city. But other council members pointed out that school children are boarding school buses shortly after 7 a.m. and said that there was sufficient light for many tasks.
