The change is designed to better serve the community by providing more access to city services outside of the traditional 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. workday. Going forward, administrative offices will be open Monday through Thursday, with new hours from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Harker Heights Employees Get Shorter Weeks—Does Service Suffer?

Departments such as the Harker Heights Police, Public Works, Animal Control, Parks and Recreation, and emergency services will not be affected by this change. These departments will continue to operate on their regular schedules, including on-call and emergency response services, the city stated.

When I spoke to some residents about the change, many expressed support for the new hours. They noted that since most people get off work around 5 p.m., having that extra hour makes it much more convenient to handle city-related business.
