Council narrows holiday schedule toward a 10‑day target; will finalize by email
Summary
Councilors debated trimming roughly 16 proposed employee holidays toward about 10 days, discussed which days to remove or keep (Veterans Day, Thanksgiving half‑day, Good Friday/Easter Monday, Juneteenth, Christmas window) and agreed to circulate a list by email to finalize selections before the next meeting.
Councilors discussed proposed changes to the employee holiday calendar and expressed a preference to reduce the list toward an 8–10 day target. One council member proposed removing some items such as Veterans Day observances and certain half‑days while retaining core holidays; another said Christmas coverage and matching the school schedule were considerations for families.
Council directed staff to circulate the proposed holiday list by email and asked each member to mark days they would remove so staff can compile the final recommendation for the next meeting. "So we're agreeing to 10 days, and we'll work backwards to go 10 days," one council member said as the body settled on a numerical target for further work.
