Maryland Heights begins 4-day work week for employees while extending hours for City Hall
MARYLAND HEIGHTS, Mo. (First Alert 4) – A new year means new hours for the city of Maryland Heights.
Jan. 2 marked the first day of a trial period for a four-day workweek for hundreds of employees.
“We have a large workforce that’s ready to retire, so when we were thinking about recruiting techniques, what could we do that’s different from anybody else?” said Tracey Anderson, city administrator for Maryland Heights.
The city implemented the plan, which will have the majority of employees working four 10-hour days. They will work Monday through Thursday or Tuesday through Friday to ensure city hall remains open five days a week.
The new schedule means they will be able to have longer hours for people coming to do business at City Hall. City Hall will now open at 7 a.m. and close at 5:30 p.m.
The hope is it will make it easier for citizens and visitors to do business with the city.
Anderson said they will see how it goes for the next six months and decide if it should be a permanent change.

A reckless endangerment charged has been added in the case of a man charged after a 7-year-old boy fired a gun inside a Maryland elementary school in early February.
A new charge was added to the accidental gun discharge case from February that’s tied to an Anne Arundel County school.
Court records show that one count of reckless endangerment was filed against Eashan John Stefanski, a 34-year-old Pasadena man, Thursday.
He was initially charged with leaving a loaded firearm accessible to a minor in February, when a 7-year-old boy accidentally discharged a gun at Freetown Elementary School in Glen Burnie, Maryland.
The new charge was added more than a month after the incident, which saw the child suffer an injury to his hand.
Detectives found the gun was obtained from the boy’s home.
Stefanski is the boyfriend of the child’s mother, The Baltimore Banner reported.

A Republican-backed proposal to tighten oversight of nonprofits that receive taxpayer funding is moving forward in Annapolis, marking what supporters describe as a rare win for House Republicans.
The measure comes as recent estimates show about 9,000 Maryland nonprofits are listed as noncompliant with the state, despite many of them still receiving taxpayer dollars.
The proposal is not final. It still must pass the Senate before it can reach the governor’s desk.
David Williams of the Taxpayers Protection Alliance joined the broadcast to weigh in on the measure.
