| City Office Furlough Closures |
Effective July 1, 2009, most non-public safety City employees will be observing mandatory non-work furlough days on the first and third Fridays of each month. City offices will be closed on these days.
Because Friday, July 3rd is a scheduled holiday, Thursday, July 2, 2009 will be observed as a furlough day. The furlough cost reduction program is scheduled to remain in effect through June 30, 2011. On these furlough days, City Hall, City buildings and the Police Department Lobby will be closed to the public. This furlough program has been instituted to achieve necessary budget reductions.

| Coffee with the Mayor |
In an effort to provide an additional, informal forum in which residents can discuss issues and concerns with the mayor, Gilroy Mayor Al Pinheiro has set up a schedule for these meetings for 2009. There are currently many avenues in which citizens can engage the Mayor in discussion, but these Coffee with the Mayor venues will provide an additional, informal setting in which the Mayor can answer questions and otherwise engage in specific or broad discussions on city issues with Gilroy residents.
Please refer to this website for possible changes to this schedule that may arise.
