Administrative offices close Feb. 16 for Presidents Day

Administrative offices will be closed Monday, Feb. 16, in observance of Presidents Day, the organization said in a Facebook post. Regular office hours will resume Tuesday, Feb. 17. The post advised that in the event of an emergency, people should call 911.

The notice did not specify which services, if any, would be affected by the closure. Officials did not provide additional details in the post.

Presidents Day is a federal holiday observed on the third Monday in February. It traditionally honors presidents of the United States, and many government offices, banks and some private businesses observe the holiday with closures or reduced hours.

The announcement is meant to give residents and clients time to plan for any necessary transactions or services before the holiday. We will provide more information as it becomes available.
