Re: Holiday Schedule for 2021 Christmas Eve and Christmas Day Observed
Issue:
The City observes official holidays for all regular full-time and part-time employees as listed in the
personnel policy. When a holiday falls on a Sunday, the following Monday will be the “observed” holiday

operations/facilities that are closed on holidays. Christmas Eve and Christmas Day (December 24 -25) are
official holidays. This year, Christmas Eve and Day fall on a Friday and Saturday. Staff has del iberated as
to which day to observe December 25; either the preceding Thursday or following Monday.

close the city facilities.
Options:
1) Approve staff recommendation to close city facilities on Monday, December 27 as the observed
Christmas Day holiday.
2) Observe Christmas Day holiday on Thursday, December 23.
