As you have probably heard, many in the City will be taking furlough days due to the City’s current financial situation.  This will include DPD. 

In an effort to continue to meet our customer service objectives and recognize the range of  resources needed on any given day, DPD’s offices will be closed  10 days in 2010, rather than having partial resources available each day. 

The dates, listed below, fall on Fridays except Thursday, December 23.

• January 15
• February 12
• March 12
• April 9
• May 28
• July 2
• August 6
• September 3
• October 8
• December 23

In addition to the furloughs, DPD has experienced significant layoffs as well as cuts to non-personnel costs.  We are committed to providing good service to our customers, but may need to adjust some practices due to the layoffs and reduced staff hours. 

If we do alter how we deliver our services, we will make that information available to you as soon as we know, so you can plan your time with DPD effectively.  Thank you for your understanding.
