Sedgwick County Fire District No. 1 adopts 11 paid holidays for 2025; one commissioner votes no
Summary
The Sedgwick County Fire District No. 1 board approved a resolution establishing 11 paid holidays for the 2025 calendar, passing the measure 4–1 after Commissioner Dennis voted against it. The presenter said the item mirrored a Board of County Commissioners discussion and could be revisited at the February budget retreat with HR.
The Sedgwick County Fire District No. 1 board voted to adopt a resolution establishing 11 paid holidays for the 2025 calendar, approving the measure by a 4–1 roll-call vote.
Sheena, who returned to the podium to present the item, summarized the proposal as a repeat of a discussion on the Board of County Commissioners agenda: "So this is the same item we just discussed of, requesting, the 11 paid holidays for the 2025 calendar for the fire district." After discussion, a motion was made to adopt the resolution and was seconded.
On the roll call, Commissioner Meitzner, Commissioner Howe, Commissioner Lopez and Chairman Aaron Beatty voted yes; Commissioner Dennis voted no. The board did not record any abstentions on the holiday resolution, and the measure carried.
Sheena told the board the holiday schedule aligns with the conversation that had just taken place on the county side and recommended a follow-up conversation at the February budget retreat with HR to consider any personnel implications. No further delay or referral was made; the resolution took effect as adopted during the meeting.
