Agenda Item # _2__
Columbus Consolidated Government
Council Meeting
Agenda Report # 351
TO: Mayor and Council
SUBJECT: FY2010 Holiday Schedule
INITIATED BY: City Manager's Office
Recommendation: Approval is requested of the attached Holiday Schedule for
the FY2010 Budget Year. It is recommended that Christams Eve, Thursday,
December 24, 2009, be designated as the floating holiday to enhance the
Christmas Holiday, which falls on Friday, December 25, 2009.
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 Friday, December 25,
2009; therefore, we are recommending Christmas Eve, Thursday, December 24, 2009
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 2, 2010. 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 FY2010 Budget designating Christmas Eve, Thursday, December 24, 2009, as
the floating holiday.
A RESOLUTION
