Agenda Report # 013
TO: Mayor and Council
SUBJECT: FY2013 Holiday Schedule
INITIATED BY: City Manager's Office
Recommendation: Approval is requested of the attached Holiday Schedule for
the FY2013 Budget Year. It is recommended that Christmas Eve, Monday, December
24, 2012, be designated as the floating holiday.
Background: The Holiday Schedule has historically been approved by City
Council in December or January 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 that
Christmas Eve, Monday, December 24, 2012 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 FY2013 Budget designating Monday, December 24, 2012, as the floating
holiday.
