Agenda Report #___534________



TO: Mayor and Council



SUBJECT: FY2003 Holiday Schedule



INITIATED BY: Finance Department

________________________________________________________________________________

________



Recommendation: Approve the attached Holiday Schedule for the FY2003 Budget. It

is recommended that July 5, 2002 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. In FY2003, it is recommended that the Independence

Day Holiday period be expanded to include July 5, 2002.



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

specific holiday, for example, extending the holiday weekend for Christmas, New

Year's Day or adding Columbus Day 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 FY2003 Budget. It

is recommended that July 5, 2002 be designated as the floating holiday.
