In response to the current uncertainty of the fuel supply in Western North Carolina, City Manager Gary Jackson has called for full implementation of phase two of the accelerated fuel conservation operational plan for city government. The second phase of the plan will not interrupt police, fire and rescue, transit, and sanitation services.

Non-public safety facilities will be closed to walk-in customers on Friday, Sept. 26 and Monday Sept. 29, including City Hall; however minimal staff will be accessible by email and telephone. All Parks and Recreational facilities will be closed Thursday, Sept. 25-Sept. 29 including the weekend, except after school child care services will operate normal hours from 2-6 p.m. The Asheville Civic Center will not be cancelling events and will only be closed on Friday, Sept. 26. All non-public safety facilities will re-open on Tuesday, Sept. 30. At no point will police, fire and rescue, transit, and sanitation services be closed for service.

�By limiting the hours of services, the city is leading conservation efforts within our community,� stated Mayor Terry Bellamy. �We also continue to encourage transit ridership, and are stepping up patrol at gas stations. Our goal is safety first.�

In addition Mayor Bellamy stated, �I am also requesting better management at the gas pumps. I�d like to see limits on retail gas purchases to increase availability to more citizens.�
