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.
