As an organization, the City of Roseville is on a journey to rectify those wrongs through the 38 creation of a Strategic Racial Equity Action Plan and undertaking tangible efforts. Declaring 39 Juneteenth Day as a City holiday, will provide an opportunity for the community,city employees, 40 and policy makers to reflect on the legacy of slavery and strengthen their commitment to eliminate 41 the continuing systemic inequities in government and society. 42 P OLICY O BJECTIVE 43 As part of the City of Roseville’s Community Aspirations, Roseville aspires to be “Welcoming, 44 inclusive, and respectful” and “Engaged in our community’s success as citizens, neighbors, 45 volunteers, leaders, and businesspeople”. Declaring Juneteenth Day as a City holiday will be 46 consistent with those aspirations as it will provide an important recognition within the community 47 regarding to the ending of slavery and its continuing impact in American society. 48 B UDGET I MPLICATIONS 49 It is expected that declaring Juneteenth Day as a city holiday will only have a minimal financial 50 impact. Like any holiday, City offices, including the License Center, would be closed on Juneteenth 51 Day holiday. As withother city holidays, there would be a loss of productivity and revenue (from 52 the License Center) on the Juneteenth Day holiday. The City would also experience some small 53 savings (such as fuel and energy costs) due to limited operations on the holiday. 54 In regards to staff costs, for non-union employees,there will be no additional costs incurred since the 55 non-union employees are already getting paid for June 19. For union employees, all current 56 contracts (except the Fire Fighters) addressthe Juneteenth Day holiday in their collective bargaining 57 agreements. The coveredunion employees would either take a holiday day or have additional hours 58 putin their holiday hour bank. Those employees who work on the Juneteenth Day holiday would be 59 paid as dictated by their contract (e.g. time and a half). 60 An exact cost impact cannot be calculated at this time due to variables of who is working and who 61 may be called in for emergency work. However, it is estimated that there will be less than $2,000 of 62 new direct employee costs as a result of creating a Juneteenth Day holiday. 63 S TAFF R ECOMMENDATION 64 Staff recommends approval of the resolution declaring Juneteenth as a city holiday. 65 R EQUESTED C OUNCIL A CTION 66 Motion to approve resolution declaring Juneteenth Day as a city holiday.
