Requested Action(s)
recommendation
a) RESOLUTION - Request adoption of a resolution authorizing modification of hours open to the public for the Department of Agriculture, Division of Animal Services as follows: Tuesday, December 24, 2024 - Closed
body
Financial Impact:
The requested action will not impact the Division of Animal Services’ budget.
Background Information:
The Division of Animal Services is open 7 days a week and most of the employees work non-traditional weekly shifts that include weekends. Because of two current vacant positions, the Division does not have the staff available to split the floating holiday between the available staff and still provide adequate staffing to serve the public. By closing on Christmas Eve, a majority of the staff can take their floating holiday on Christmas Eve, which provides a longer weekend, and those staff will then be available to work public hours on New Year's Eve.
