Agenda Item # 1
Columbus Consolidated Government
Council Meeting

Agenda Report # 82
TO: Mayor and Council
SUBJECT: FY2014 Holiday Schedule
INITIATED BY: City Manager's Office
Recommendation: Approval is requested of the attached Holiday Schedule for the
FY2015 Budget Year. It is recommended that Friday, December 26, 2014, be
designated as the floating holiday for FY15 Fiscal Year.
Background: The Holiday Schedule has historically been approved by City
Council in February or March 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. This fiscal year we are recommending the day after
Christmas, Friday, December 26, 2014 be designated as the floating holiday.
Alternatives: The floating holiday could be designated to follow a day
specific holiday, for example, extending a holiday weekend or adding Good
Friday as an option. The floating holiday could also be designated to
recognize some other event or occasion.
Financial Considerations: None
Projected Annual Fiscal Impact Statement: The City will not incur any
additional cost in future years for in approving the request.
Recommendation: Approval is requested of the attached Holiday Schedule for
FY2015 Fiscal Year designating Friday, December 26, 2014, (day after Christmas)
as the floating holiday.
