Cumberland City approves Christmas holiday schedule

Council members moved to repeat the previous year's Christmas schedule. A proposer said the seventeenth would be the last workday and the board would resume business on Jan. 2. The proposal noted staff must check meters and complete routine maintenance before the office closure.

A roll-call vote recorded Short, Gunston, Gillum, Milligan and Mayor Vaughn voting yes; the motion carried. No formal amendment or alternate schedule was recorded. The board noted the schedule aims to balance staff availability with routine operational checks (meter inspections) before the break.

The board’s action was procedural and marked on the record; staff will implement the holiday schedule and handle any time-sensitive maintenance tasks before the closure.
