Barton County Commissioners Monday updated a 1978 resolution dealing with the hours that offices in the courthouse along with satellite offices are open during the day. The updated resolution describes those offices operating outside of set hours, establishes a method for closing for training periods and posting closings due to staff or work needs. The Health Department will be one of those offices who will benefit from the updated resolution. According to Director Shelly Schneider, due to staff training, there are times when the entire office needs to be closed for a day in order to get the needed training completed.
