BACKGROUND The City's agreements with employees provide for thirteen paid holidays per fiscal year. Pursuant to the bargaining unit agreements (MOUs) and Compensation Plan, twelve holidays plus one floating or Personal Leave holiday are provided by City Council resolution. MOUs apply to Unit 1— Confidential, Unit 2 — Maintenance, Unit 3 — Clerical /Technical, Unit 4 — Professional, Unit 6 — Police, Unit 9 — Mid - Managers, Unit 10 — Public Safety Mid - Management (Police Personnel), and Unit 11 — Confidential. Unit 8 (Department Directors) is not represented and is covered under a Compensation Plan. The Unit 7 — Fire MOU and Unit 10 — Public Safety Mid - Management (Fire Personnel) MOUs specify the fixed and observed holidays, thus the proposed resolution does not apply to those bargaining units or associated personnel. A fixed holiday is the actual holiday the City has agreed to recognize. The observed holiday is the date the fixed holiday will be observed and employees will be provided with the day off. Because the language contained within each of the MOUs varies slightly, the resolution designates the fixed holiday, as well as the day of observance. DISCUSSION By adopting the resolution designating fixed and observed holidays, consistency is achieved between groups, and expectations relative to days of operation are more clearly understood by the public. FINANCIAL IMPACTS City employees are provided by agreement with twelve paid holidays and one floating holiday per fiscal year which are to be designated by City Council resolution. The paid time off is budgeted in the employee salaries budget. The annual estimated value of paid holidays off for City employees in FY 2017 -18 is $1,362,399. ATTACHMENTS 1.
