Item No. 05C <br />Meeting Date: November 7, 2005 <br />Type of Business: Work Session <br /> City of Mounds View Staff Report <br /> <br />To: Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />From: Kurt Ulrich, City Administrator <br /> <br />Item Title/Subject: 2005 Holidays for Non-Union <br /> <br />According to Section 3.10 of the Mounds View Personnel Policy it states: <br /> <br />If Christmas Day, New Year's Day, Independence Day or Veteran's Day falls on <br />a Saturday, the preceding Friday will be considered a Holiday. If Christmas Day, <br />New Year's Day, Independence Day, or Veteran’s Day fall on a Sunday, the <br />following Monday will be considered a holiday. <br /> <br />Similar language was added to the 2004-2005 to all union labor contracts. <br />However, Christmas Eve and New Years Eve was added to the list above. This <br />means that all union employees have holidays on Friday, December 23rd and <br />Friday December 30, 2005. Non-union employees are required to work on these <br />days. Out of the 52 employees staffed at City Hall, only about 14 would be <br />required to work on December 23rd and December 30th. Of those 14 employees, <br />many have already scheduled this time off. There are potential staffing issues <br />due to the union’s contract language. <br /> <br />In addition to December 23rd and December 30th, City Offices will also be closed <br />on December 26, 2005 and January 2, 2006 because both holidays fall on a <br />weekend. Christmas and New Years Day fall on a Sunday, which means that <br />Monday, December 26th and January 2nd is a holiday for all City staff. <br /> <br />Due to these staffing issues, Staff feels that it would be difficult to maintain <br />services at City Hall. Staff is recommending that City Hall offices be closed on <br />December 23rd and December 30th. The City Council should take into <br />considerations that Monday, December 26th and January 2nd are also holidays for <br />all City Staff. If the City Council agrees with Staff’s recommendation, then Staff <br />would present this to the City Council on November 14th for approval by <br />Resolution.
