Shorten work week; save money

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) - April 30, 2008

College Township Manager Adam Brumbaugh proposes having the township's 30 employees work 10-hour days Tuesday through Friday and closing township offices Saturday, Sunday and Monday.

That would reduce employees' fuel costs for commuting by one-fifth as well as giving employees three-day weekends. In addition, Brumbaugh estimates the township would save nearly $6,000 a year on heating, air conditioning, lighting and other operational costs.

Township Council Chairman David Fryer says the idea is not cast in stone. The proposal is scheduled for discussion at Thursday night's council meeting.
