Chadron City Hall is now closing an hour earlier than in the past with hours of 8-4:00 instead of 8-5:00, effective today.
      City Manager Tom Menke says the change is a result of his asking city employees earlier this year what he could do to help them do their jobs more efficiently and more effectively, and they suggested an hour without phone calls or visitors.
Menke says the busiest time at city hall in terms of citizens coming in is in the morning.
Menke says the plan is to review the 4:00 closure in about 6 months to see if it should be changed or made permanent.
