AGENDA REPOR`f
TO: Honorable City Council
FROM: Richard Hare, Deputy City Manage
DATE: May 5, 1995 (CC Mtg. 5/17/95,
SUBJECT: Consider Closure of City Hall July 'rd in Conjunction with
July 4th Holiday
Background
ITEM go OR_
On previous occasions when a national and city holiday has fallen on a Tuesday or a Thursday,
the City Council has considered closing City Hall and other non - emergency city services on the
day preceding or following the holiday to provide a long weekend holiday for staff. This year July
4th falls on a Tuesday. This has typically been in anticipation of decreased public activity during
the long holiday period.
Thirty -five of the full -time staff members have requested time off on this day. This presents a
difficult scheduling problem, if the City remains open on the 3rd. The Council is asked to
consider allowing the closure of City Hall on July 3rd. Full -time staff members would use either
vacation leave, administrative leave or they have the time off without pay. Part-time employees
do not receive leave benefits and would work on an as needed basis.
The Department Heads normally approve or deny requests for time off, but in this case authority
is needed from the City Council to close City Hall in order to accommodate the requests for time
off. The City Manager intends to review requests and consider areas that may require coverage
on the holiday weekend as well as on the third of July. Standby lists for service calls and
emergencies would be prepared and leaves would he rescinded if it became necessary.
Recommendation
Staff recommends the closure of City Hall on July 3rd in conjunction with the July 4th holiday and
allowing staff to use available leave on that day or take leave without pay.
