REQUEST: Requesting the City Commission to consider the Mayor's request to grant an
additional Personal Day for employees for Fiscal Year 2010.
PURPOSE: This agenda item is needed for the City Commission to consider the Mayor's request to
grant an additional Personal Day for employees for Fiscal Year 2010.
CONSIDERATIONS:
Currently, per City Personnel Policies, employees receive one (1) Personal/Floating Day annually,
which is credited to eligible employees on October 1 of each year, and which must be taken prior to
September 30 of the following year, with approval of the date by the supervisor.
On September 14, 2009, the Mayor initiated a discussion regarding the addition of a second Personal
Day for employees for FY 2010, in light of the fact that employees are not receiving merit raises in FY
2010. After some initial discussion, the Commission directed the City Manager to bring this issue back
as an agenda item for the Commission to consider at its next Commission meeting (September 28,
2009).
Granting this additional Personal Day would require Commission approval via resolution. If the
Commission desires to approve this additional Personal Day, a resolution is attached for Commission
approval to memorialize this action.
FUNDING:
Due to the "floating" nature of this holiday and the requirement for Supervisor approval, no additional
funding would be required if this item is approved.
RECOMMENDATION:
The City Manager recommends the City Commission choose from one of the following options:
1. Approve Resolution 2009-52, granting an additional Personal Day, for FY 2010 only, for
employees of record on September 30, 2009.
2. Deny the Mayor's request for an additional Personal Day for employees for FY 2010.
3. Any other action the Commission deems appropriate.
