SCOTT VANDERGRIFT COMMISSIONERS DANNY HOWELL SCOTT ANDERSON SCOTT A. GLASS NANCY J. PARKER CITY MANAGER ELLIS SHAPIRO Currently our holiday schedule for employees include Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. For most of the years these days fall at such a time that gives our employees a good holiday break. However, sometimes, like this year, Christmas Eve falls on Wednesday and Christmas Day on Thursday. This means that employees will then return on Friday and then be off for the weekend. This means that between vacation and absenteeism, December 26, 1997,. will not be a very efficient day of work in our community. Several employees have asked whether the City Commission might be able to set the Christmas holiday days dependent on when they fall in the week. In discussing this with Paul Rosenthal, City Attorney, he advised me that since the Rules and Regulations were by ordinance, an ordinance would have to be adopted to make the above discussed changes. Furthermore, at budget time, the City Commission agreed to add Martin Luther King's birthday as an official holiday in the City. This change is also included in the attached ordinance prepared by City Attorney Rosenthal for your review and action.
