MEMGRANDUM
TD: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Dave Gsberg, City Administrator
DATE: October 30, 2005
SUBJECT: Authorize the Closing of Certain City Gffices on Friday December 26
RECOMMENDED CITY CUUNCIL ACTION
It is recommended that the City Council take action authorizing the closing of certain
City off ces on Friday December 26, ZOOS including the Cal Ruedy Public works
Garage, Joint Maintenance Facility and City Hall.
BACKGROUND
Thursday December 25, 2005 is a mandated State Holiday, resulting in all City facilities
being closed, and a paid Holiday for aII City employees. In the recent past, when the
December 25 Holiday has fallen on either a Tuesday or a Thursday, the City Council's
previously have authorized the closing of certain City facilities on either the day prior to,
or day succeeding the recognized Holiday of December Z5. This action has not resulted
in any additional paid Holiday benefit. Some employees, who chose not to take approved
leave on that day, shall be allowed to work, based on assigned duties and approval from
their Supervisor. The more frequent occurrence is the employee choosing to take
approved leave, such as a vacation day, floating holiday or accumulated earned
compensatory time. In the past, City employees have expressed appreciation for this
opportunity to use additional approved leave to extend their leave during the Holiday
Season, and I trust this appreciation would continue, when granted in the past, there have
been no known complaints from the public, and the Staff would provide the appropriate
notification to assure the public is aware of the fact those City facilities would be closed
on Friday December 26, 2005.
