Agenda Item # 1
Columbus Consolidated Government
Council Meeting
Agenda Report # 239
TO: Mayor and Council
SUBJECT: FY2009 Holiday Schedule
INITIATED BY: City Manager's Office
Recommendation: Approval is requested of the attached Holiday Schedule for
the FY2009 Budget Year. It is recommended that Friday, December 26, 2008, be
designated as the floating holiday to enhance the Christmas Holiday, which
falls on Thursday, December 25, 2008.
Background: The Holiday Schedule has historically been approved by City
Council in January or February 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 year Christmas Day is on Thursday, December
25, 2008; therefore, we are recommending Friday, December 26, 2008 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, March 21, 2008. The floating holiday could also be designated to
recognize some other event or occasion.
Financial Considerations: None
Recommendation: Approval is requested of the attached Holiday Schedule for
the FY2009 Budget designating Friday, December 26, 2008, as the floating
holiday.
