AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Approval for the five Library branches to remain open on December

ITEM BACKGROUND: Christmas Eve was made a holiday for County staff for this fiscal year,
enabling most office staff to enjoy a four -day holiday weekend. Since the Libraries are customarily
open on Saturday, Library staff would only have a two-day holiday, then reopen for one day before
closing again for two days. This approval would enable Library staff to enjoy a four -day holiday
weekend, along with other office staff. Staff schedules would be adjusted to ensure a full work week.

Re: BOCC Agenda Item —Substitution for Christmas Eve Holiday
The above -referenced item is a request for Library staff to substitute the day after Christmas,
a Saturday, on which the Libraries would customarily be open, for the Christmas Eve
holiday.. The change would enable staff members to have a four -day holiday weekend,
Friday through Monday, that other County office staff will enjoy on Thursday through Sunday.
ff benefit, this would help avoid possible confusion for patrons that would
original schedule, Libraries would be closed for two days, open for one,
again for two days. Staff schedules would be adjusted to ensure that their
Id be no more than other County employees.
