Columbus Consolidated Government

Council Meeting



December 14, 2005



Agenda Report #__50___



TO: Mayor and Council



SUBJECT: FY2006 Holiday Schedule



INITIATED BY: City Manager's Office

________________________________________________________________________________

_______



Recommendation: Approve the attached Holiday Schedule for the FY2006 Budget. It

is recommended that Columbus Day, October 10, 2005 be designated as 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 on a Sunday or

Monday, we are recommending that Columbus Day, October 10, 2005 be designated

as the floating holiday.



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

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

Friday, April 14, 2005 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 FY2006 Budget. It

is recommended that Monday, October 10, 2005 be designated as the floating

holiday.
