Concord offices closed for furlough day Sept. 25
City of Concord offices will be closed on Friday, Sept. 25 for a furlough day.
Offices to be closed include the Civic Center complex (1950 Parkside Drive), Public Works (1455 Gasoline Alley), Engineering (2151 Salvio St.), the Concord Senior Citizens Center (2727 Parkside Circle), Concord Community Pool (3501 Cowell Road), Police Department District Offices and the Police Headquarters (1350 Galindo St.).
Police patrol, dispatch operations and City inspectors will not be affected by the closures. Centre Concord, Willow Pass Community Center and the Diablo Creek Golf Course will remain open.
A minimum umber of staff will continue on duty, primarily in an on-call capacity or to provide essential maintenance services. No street sweeping will occur during the closure period but will resume on the next regularly scheduled day.
Additional 2009 furlough days are Oct. 23, Nov. 25, Dec. 24, and Dec. 28-31.
The unpaid furlough days are part of the City's comprehensive plan to balance its General Fund budget. As is the case in most California cities, a sharp reduction in sales and property tax revenue has created a budget shortfall.
