TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council through City Manager
FROM: Pamala Stephens, Human Resources Manager
SUBJECT: Resolution Approving Fixed and Observed Holidays for Fiscal Year 2012-2013
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached resolution Approving Fixed and
Observed Holidays for Fiscal Year 2012-2013.
BACKGROUND
The City's agreements with Unit 1 — Confidential, Unit 2- Maintenance, Unit 3-
Clerical/Technical, Unit 4- Professional, Unit 6- Police, Unit 8- Department Directors, Unit 9-
Mid-Managers, Unit 10- Public Safety Mid-Management (Police personnel), and Unit — 11
Confidential provides employees with twelve paid holidays per fiscal year. Pursuant to the
bargaining unit agreements the twelve holidays provided to employees in these bargaining units
is designated by City Council resolution. The Unit 7- Fire agreement and Unit 10- Public Safety
Mid-Management (Fire personnel) specifies the fixed and observed holidays, thus the proposed
resolution does not apply to that bargaining unit or specific 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 MOU's 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 bargaining unit employees are provided by agreement with twelve paid holidays per fiscal
year which are to be designated by City Council resolution. Employees with twelve paid

the floating holiday in FY 2012-2013 is $71,588.
