Columbus Consolidated Government

Council Meeting

Agenda Report #___148____



TO: Mayor and Council



SUBJECT: FY2005 Holiday Schedule



INITIATED BY: Finance Department

________________________________________________________________________________

_______



Recommendation: Approve the attached Holiday Schedule for the FY2005 Budget. It

is recommended that Columbus Day, October 11, 2004 be designated the floating

holiday.



Background: The Holiday Schedule has historically been approved by City Council

to assist various departments and organizations in developing their calendar

schedules. All holidays are established with the exception of the floating

holiday.



Analysis: The floating holiday has traditionally been used to extend a date

specific holiday (Independence Day, Christmas or New Year's Day) to provide a

long weekend for employees. With all of these holidays falling n a Saturday or

Sunday, we are recommending that Columbus Day, October 11, 2004 be designated.



Alternatives: The floating holiday could be designated to follow a day

specific holiday, for example, extending the holiday weekend or adding Good

Friday, March 25, 2004 as an option. The floating holiday could also be

designated to recognize some other event or occasion.



Financial Considerations: None



Recommendation: Approve the attached Holiday Schedule for the FY2005 Budget. It

is recommended that Monday, October 11, 2004 be designated as the floating

holiday.
