The city of Bainbridge Island’s Department of Planning and Community Development plans to reduce customer service hours next year.
Aimed at giving planning staff more time to work on development permit applications, the reductions will cut eight hours per week of counter service, the city announced on Wednesday.
Counter service is currently provided Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Beginning in January, the counter will close at noon on Wednesdays and Thursdays.
