Century Town Hall Closed For Portions Of Next Two Business Days

November 21, 2024

The Century Town Hall will be closed for portions of the next three business days for staff training.

Town hall will be closed:

  • Thursday, November 21 from 9 a.m. until noon
  • Friday, November 22 from 9 a.m. until noon
  • Monday, November 25 from 1 p.m. until 4 p.m.

During closures, staff and administration will attend training training by Harris Computers and Florida Gas Utilities on the town’s utility billing software.

The town billing clerk recently abruptly left the position, leaving the staff without much of the knowledge needed to use the Inhance billing software, according to Mayor Luis Gomez. Jr.

Gomez said due to billing problems, the town will not be enforcing cutoff dates in November. The town council also authorized the mayor to use a staffing agency to find a temporary billing clerk at a rate not to exceed $18.20 per hour.

    Well, Well, Well, they claimed they knew more than the billing clerk and all, but soon found out they didn’t know didly squat!! Good luck to the citizens.

    Remember Boutwell and Howington were trying to cross train other office employees and they cried and complained to the council like he was picking on employees? Brought it to a public meeting no less
    Boutwell was trying but they blocked his common sense agenda at every turn. I’m sure it was frustrating.
    Billing clerk probably got fed up with Gomez. After she stepped up and got the bills out on time after the death of the former meter reader.
    Then the same whiney employees didn’t know how to step up and do the job.
    And here we are.

    We could argue that it being closed actually serves the citizens of Century better than when it is open.

    I sure was hoping it was closing down and turned over to county or at least to someone that knows how to run a town.
