Deviation from normal working hours for individual employees is not allowed except as approved by the individual employee's department head and the City Manager. The Police Division shall operate on a continuous shift system and be open to the public 24 hours per day; the remainder of the city offices shall be open to the public from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. with the exception of weekends and holidays.
