City Hall employees will go from a five- to four-day work week on an eight-month trial basis starting Jan. 1. The City Council voted 5-2 Tuesday night to approve the new schedule, which would mean employee hours will be 7 a.
The article from Yahoo News discusses an incident at Waterville City Hall where employees encountered a large snapping turtle, affectionately named "Tyson Fury," in the parking lot. The turtle, weighing about 30 pounds, was attempting to cross the lot, leading to a humorous and somewhat chaotic scene as staff tried to assist it. The turtle's presence caused a stir, with employees like City Clerk Janette Bower and Deputy Clerk Sarah Vail attempting to guide it safely across the lot. Eventually, the turtle was moved to a nearby river, ensuring its safety and providing a memorable story for the city hall staff. The event was lightheartedly reported, highlighting the unexpected wildlife encounters in urban settings.
