City Hall Hours on Monday December 24, 2007
RECOMMENDED CITY COUNCIL ACTION
Staff is proposing that the City Council take action authorizing the closing of City Hall
on Monday December 24, 2007. City Hall employees will have the option of working
that day, with Supervisor approval and clear work assignments, despite the fact City Hall
will remain closed; or accounting for their hours with approved leave, such as vacation,
compensatory time or floating holiday hours.
BACKGROUND
December 24th, 2007 falls on a Monday this year. Typically, this is a day that many City
emrloyees request as a day off. Past experience also suggests that Monday December
24t , 2007 will be a relatively slow day, as minimal City business is typically conducted.
Rather than have City Hall open, with a small amount of Staff, it seems prudent to
publicize that City Hall will not be open for business on Monday December 24th, (in
addition to the regular holiday on Tuesday December 25), rather than have an expectation
that December 24th, 2007 will be a normal business day. This would not be considered a
paid holiday, and it would only impact City Hall employees. The TRAC program would
continue normal operations on Monday December 24th, 2007. Similar arrangements have
been completed in the past, when City Hall closed early on December 24th, on day, more
. in the middle of the week. In addition, the City Council approved a similar arrangement
in 2001, when December 24th was a Monday.
