Summary

Commissioners agreed by consensus to give city employees the day after Christmas off with pay; staff thanked the commission and said the benefit will be well received.

Mayor sought consensus to grant city employees the Friday after Christmas off with pay, noting that Christmas falls on a Thursday this year and that this has been a past practice. Commissioners agreed verbally and staff responded, "on behalf of staff, we appreciate it very much. Thank you. This would be wildly popular." The commission did not attach conditions or specify which employee groups are included; staff acceptance was taken as agreement to implement the day off.

The action was recorded as a consensus during the meeting; no formal roll-call vote or ordinance was introduced.
