Due to lower demand of services, Sacramento County have closedvarious building and development related public counters one day per week.
“We feel that customers are better served by providing quality service four days a week rather than lesser services due to fewer available staff five days a week,” said Steven Pedretti, Director of County Engineering and manager of development related programs. “With furloughs and reduced number of employees, this will help us maintain efficiency and still serve our customers.”
The new schedule is as follows:
· Planning, Environmental Review and Assessment, Building Inspection, and Land Development and Site Improvement Review - downtown counters will be closed on Friday.
· Building Inspection (Bradshaw office) will be closed on Monday.
· Building Inspection counters at North Area Service Center will be closed Monday and Tuesday.
· Building Inspection counters at East Area Service Center will be closed Wednesday - Friday.
At least one building permit office (either downtown or the Bradshaw location) and one service center counter will be open for business on every weekday. “We anticipate that this schedule will continue for the foreseeable future,” Pedretti added.
