Martin Luther King's birthday as a designated holiday for City officers <br />and employees. This increased the number of designated holidays from nine to ten, and eliminated one <br />non - designated holiday. Chapter 2, Article 8, Section 2- 121(a) of the South Bend Municipal Code was <br />amended accordingly. <br />At this time, to increase morale and better accommodate persons of all religions, Good Friday <br />will be eliminated as a designated holiday to be replaced by one non - designated holiday which can be any <br />day selected by each City officer or employee. This necessitates another amendment to the Municipal <br />Code, Chapter 2, Article 8, Section 2- 121(a) which will now provide for nine designated holidays and one <br />non - designated holiday of each officer or employee's choice. <br />1 will present this Bill to the Common Council at its appropriate committee meeting and at the <br />public hearing during the Common Council's regular meeting. <br />Thank you for your consideration of this matter. <br />Sincerely, <br />Mark W.
