Town Hall to have summer hours

For the first time, Grand Chute Town Hall will hold summer office hours. New office hours will be 7am-4pm Monday through Friday. Town Supervisors voted 2-1 (Nooyen, Schowalter for, Thyssen against) to change Town Hall hours.

I'm not opposed to the concept of summer hours, however, I opposed the motion because it was presented without public notification. Town government has been criticized in the past for lack of communication. I believe this proposal should have been presented to the Board back in February, so the change in hours could have been included in the spring/summer newsletter that is distributed to all residents. Notices could also have been posted at the Town Hall alerting citizens.

New office hours will begin June 30th and continue through Labor Day.
