DEROSE <br />CITYAT`I'ORNEY CHIEF ASSISTANT CrrYATTORNEY <br />October 9, 2003 <br />Ms. Karen White, President <br />South Bend Common Council <br />4"' Floor County City Building <br />South Bend, Indiana 46601 <br />Re: An Ordinance of the Common Council of the City of South Bend, Indiana, Amending <br />Chapter 2, Article 8, Section 2-121 of the South Bend Municipal Code Clarifying <br />Holiday for City Officers and Employees <br />Dear Council President White: <br />This letter is in reference to this proposed ordinance amending and clarifying Section 2-121 of <br />the South Bend Municipal Code with respect to holidays for City employees. <br />Because the Christmas holiday will fall on Saturday during calendar year 2004, (and New <br />Year's Day will fall on Saturday in 2005), the language with respect to floating holidays will need to <br />be clarified so that the day prior to or subsequent to the designated holiday can be taken as the <br />employee's floating holiday. Three other proposed floating holidays have also been added: Primary <br />or General Election Day and Easter Monday. <br />Another issue has to do with the designation of the appropriate day off for the January 1, 2005 <br />holiday which falls on a Saturday. Typically, the holiday falling on a Saturday would be taken the <br />day before, but that would then place the holiday on December 31, 2004 resulting in ten (10) holidays <br />for 2004 and only eight (8) for 2005. The rewritten subsection (b) addresses that issue. <br />I will attend the Council's committee meeting as well as the council session on October 27, <br />2003, to present the ordinance. Please let me know if you have any questions. <br />Sincerely yours, <br />i'i~% <br />Charles S.
