Lake Forest Park City Hall closed on Friday, August 31, 2012 due to Furlough Day

City Hall will be closed on Friday, August 31, 2012 due to the fourth furlough day in 2012 for managerial, professional and exempt City Hall employees. The Police Department, Municipal Court and the Public Works Department will remain open on Friday.

Furloughs were first instituted in 2011 for City employees as a budget balancing measure and have been continued in 2012. City employees take five additional days without pay which results in a 2% pay reduction overall. Staff furloughs were expected to be a temporary cost-saving measure to help the City balance the budget during the economic downturn.
