TO: The Honorable City Council of Cou Meeting

ACTjpN: 2
FROM: Steven Kueny, City Manager
BY:
DATE: October 14, 1997 (CC Meeting of November` 15, 1997)
SUBJECT: Consider Closure of City Hall December 26, 1997, and
January 2, 1998, in Conjunction with the Christmas and
New Year Holidays
BACKGROUND:
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
date preceding or following the holiday. The Council is asked to
consider allowing the closure of City Hall on two consecutive
Fridays, December 26, 1997, and January 2, 1998. This has
typically been done in anticipation of decreased public activity
during the long holiday period.
Full -time staff members would use either vacation leave,
administrative leave, or leave without pay on these days. The
employees, association has been consulted and does not object to
this action. 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. In this case, however, 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 weekends.
Standby lists for service calls and emergencies would be prepared
and leaves would be rescinded if it became necessary.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of Resolution No. authorizing
the closure of City Hall on December 26, 1997, and January 2,
1998, in conjunction with the Christmas and New Year holidays and
allow staff to use available leave on these days, or take leave
without pay.
