Council Meeting

Agenda Report # 31
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 FY2014 Budget Year. It is recommended that the day after 4th of July
holiday, July 5, 2013 be designated as the floating holiday.
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 fiscal year we are recommending the day after
the 4th of July holiday, Friday, July 5, 2013 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
the FY2014 Budget designating Friday, July 5, 2013, as the floating holiday.
