Resolution updating the holiday section of the employee personnel manual
Whereas, the city has a personnel manual for employees to provide a uniform,
comprehensive, equitable and efficient system for personnel administration, which includes a
section identifying recognized holidays; and
Whereas, Juneteenth is a federally recognized holiday and is also being recognized by
more of St. Louis Park’s peer cities; and
Whereas, city staff convened a task force to solicit employee feedback and input on the
holiday policy and learned that staff strongly supported adding this holiday to align w ith
federally recognized holidays and show systemic support for advancing racial equity; and
Whereas, the city council wishes to adopt and update policies which ensure adequate
compensation, leave and benefits for city employees and such programs need rev iew and
updates as needed;
Now therefore be it resolved by the City Council of the City of St. Louis Park hereby
adopts the revised holiday section of the personnel manual as attached as Appendix A to this
resolution; and
Let it further be resolved that these policies and other administrative rules which
govern city employees shall be included in an update of the employee personnel manual to be
