Commissioners discuss holiday-scheduling tweak to balance fiscal-year holidays
Summary
Staff proposed moving a January holiday observance to Monday to prevent one fiscal year from having 11 holidays and the next 9; commissioners debated customary handling when holidays fall on Fridays and possible conflicts with state holidays.
County staff presented a proposed adjustment to the county holiday schedule to keep the number of observed holidays even across fiscal years.
Speaker 3 explained that observing January 1 on the calendar date would create 11 holidays in one fiscal year and nine in the next; staff proposed moving the observation to the nearest Monday to preserve a 10-and-10 balance. Commissioners discussed standard practice when holidays fall Friday (backing up to Thursday) and raised a local scheduling concern about state-recognized days such as Cabrini Day versus Indigenous PeoplesDay.
No formal action was recorded at the workshop; staff said they would bring formal language back for a vote if commissioners wanted to finalize the change.
