Shenandoah council adopts resolution designating official city holidays and swaps Veterans Day with Presidents Day
Summary
The Shenandoah City Council adopted a resolution to set the city's official holiday list and swap Veterans Day with Presidents Day so the city can remain open for a Veterans Monument event; the council approved the housekeeping change by voice vote.
The Shenandoah City Council adopted a resolution Dec. 18 that designates the city's official holidays and swaps Veterans Day with Presidents Day so the city can remain open for events at the Veterans Monument.
A staff speaker described the resolution as a housekeeping measure that had been tabled previously; adopting the list by resolution will allow the city to avoid annual reapproval unless the council later wants to modify the holidays. The staff member said the only change being proposed is that Presidents Day become a city holiday while Veterans Day would remain a working day so the city can host events at the monument.
Councilman Robinson moved to accept the recommendation and Councilman Summerlin seconded; the council voiced approval and the mayor said the motion carried. The council did not record a roll-call vote in the transcript.
The resolution standardizes the annual holiday list; any future changes would return to the council for consideration.
