|
| | | | | | | | | RECOMMENDATION: | Approve Resolution No. 2022-081 to designate 2022 Holiday Closure from December 27 – December 30, 2022. |
|
| | | | | | | | | BACKGROUND/SUMMARY: | Over the course of the last few years, staff has informally been tracking the walk-ins into City Hall and reported a decrease in customers during the holiday period. Based on increase vacation requests from employees to spend time with their families throughout the years and decreased activity during the holiday season, it is being recommended to approve a holiday closure from December 27th – December 30th which is four business days. The City recognizes Christmas Eve (December 23rd), Christmas Day (December 25th) and New Year’s Day (December 31st). All essential services such as Police and Ambulance will remain open 24/7 during this period.
Below is the 2022 holiday closure period:

| | | | | | | | | FISCAL IMPACT: | | The City will have cost savings in utilities such as gas and electric since City buildings will be shut down during this time period. In addition, this will lower the vacation leave accruals that lowers the City’s payroll liability as employees will use leave balances for the proposed closure period. |
|
| | | | | | | | | PRIOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION: | Resolution No. 2021-082: A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Carmel-by-the-Sea designating a holiday closure from December 27 through December 31, 2021. |
