The City currently observes 10 paid holidays each year: New Year' s Day Martin Luther King Memorial Day 4th of July Labor Day Veteran' s Day Thanksgiving Day after Thanksgiving Christmas Eve Christmas Day 2. Employees required to work holidays receive holiday pay in addition to their hourly rate. Discussion 1. Furlough days are preferable to pay cuts from a morale perspective because they do not result in a permanent reduction in hourly rate of pay. Sick and vacation accruals are not affected either. 2. Police and fire personnel are required to work 24/7, as well as a few utilities personnel. Those employees would see their pay reduced to 100% on days worked that are eliminated as holidays. 3. Ten unpaid days is essentially a 3. 85% pay cut for employees working 2080 hours /year. 4. Paid holidays would be added back in future years as revenues recover, salary expense is reduced through attrition, and other reorganization changes are implemented. Policy Impact 1. Citizens are accustomed to the City being closed these 10 days. 2. Non -working employees would be unpaid for these 10 days. 3. Employees required to work would have their pay reduced to 100 %. 4. General Fund Savings: approx. $ 405K for all 10 holidays due to general employees being unpaid and police /fire being reduced to 100 %. 5. Citywide Savings: approx. $ 581 K for all 10 holidays. 6. Changes affecting union members would have to be negotiated. Millage Rate Increase Required to Fund at Current Status 0. 3737 mills required to sustain $ 405K for wages and benefits. Budget Impact Convert the City's 10 paid holidays to furlough days in FY 2010 -11, with working personnel receiving 100% instead of 200% pay. 31 of 32  ZB 40 ZE VHO aql anloss!Q Paul la pn8 anuanaa ui > IOLL$ aleaaua6 of paa! nbaa sll! w [ 999. 0 snlelS luenno le pun j of paam as aseaaoul algid Well!" la6pnq aeaA luanno eql uo paseq No LL$ Alaleua!xoadde jo aseenui anuanaa lau a eouauadxa pinom punj leaauaE) aql L logic WI o! lod Aaeaq! l pue `Aem- lo- slgB!a pue slol bul aed o! ignd `AennMaed U11153 ` 86 sn 6uole sue!paw ` 6uipuui eql aoi aoueualu!ew spunoa6 se Ilem se ` sMaed 96el!aaH pue 6u!puel eql le suaoo.ilsa.i pue ` uo!le6!aa! ` slg6!il99als aol sa!l!I! ln : punj leaauaE) eql ui pepunj aq pue anu!luoo of paau pinom eaae VHO eql Lpm pele!oosse sesuadxe u! y!ZtZ$ Alalewixoaddy • g punk leaaua!D aql of :panaa pinom spun] jli Al!O pasnun - z pauini.aa eq pinom sloefoid lel!deo of paleudoidde lou spun] jli AlunoC) pasnun • L uo!ssnos!Q eaae VHO aql jo anlen Apeclo.id aql esewoui of Ueld yaO eql ui peclposep sa!l!nlloe pue sloafoad aol eaae VHO eql u!gl!m Aluo pasn aq Am spun] VHO Z Alunoo pue Al!O aql aol alea xel luanno eql Aq pa!ld!llnw `ieeA xel luanno eql of ( 666 L ao 086 L) ieeA eseq eql woaj Apecloid algexel jo enlen passasse eql ul glmoa6 eql Aq peu!uaaalep si dll eql -(=II1) bu! pun j luawaaoul xel Alunoo pue Al!O WOJJ pan!aap s! sluauaanoaduai aol bulpun=l ' 6661. ui pepuedxe pue 086L u! pauaaoj seen lolals!Q yaO aql l punoa oe8 3A 12VNH317d VHO 3AIOSSIa 6uRGOW A3110d 196pn8 46- OLOZ kj
