Tarwater again fielded questions in response to the proposed energy

management conservation plan, a modified summer work schedule, which the

board passed unanimously.

Employees will now work a modified summer schedule, from June 25 to

Aug. 3. Hours will be 7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., or 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday

resulted in a majority number of employees favoring a modified summer

responsibilities. The administration was looking for ways to reduce

energy consumption and conserve resources.
