Scott County officials approve Dec. 26 as an employee holiday for this year
Summary
At a Dec. 23 special Scott County meeting, officials voted by unanimous consent to add Friday, Dec. 26 to this year’s employee holiday schedule; they decided to defer any decision about next year’s calendar for later review.
Scott County officials at a Dec. 23 special meeting voted by unanimous consent to add Friday, Dec. 26 to this year’s employee holiday schedule.
Unidentified Speaker 2 urged the change, saying, "The county's done a lot of great work this year, and I think we should... give them an extra day off to be with their families." Unidentified Speaker 3 added he supported the extra day because employees "in 2025... did lose the election day holiday," and said Judge Mount supports closing the courthouse on Friday, according to the meeting record.
The motion to add Dec. 26 was made by Unidentified Speaker 3 and seconded by Unidentified Speaker 1. The group approved the measure by unanimous consent; the meeting record indicates the approval was taken without a formal roll call.
Participants discussed whether the extra day should be added to next year’s calendar as well. Unidentified Speaker 4 noted calendar complications for the coming year — that Christmas Eve and Christmas Day fall on Thursday and Friday and that there will be two election days in 2026 — and the group agreed to review next year’s schedule later rather than vote now.
The meeting concluded shortly after the vote; a motion to adjourn was moved and seconded and approved by unanimous consent.
What was not specified in the meeting record: a formal roll-call vote or the precise number of employees affected. The group’s decision covers this year only; any calendar change for 2026 was set for later review.
