The City of Hays is changing its business hours to accommodate the needs of residents beginning August 6, 2018. By opening 30 minutes earlier and staying open 30 minutes later Monday through Thursday, residents will have an opportunity to conduct business before 8 a.m. or after 5 p.m. To make the customer-service initiative budget-neutral for taxpayers, these facilities will close at 11:30 a.m. on Friday.
