STAFF MEMO
Meeting: Regular Council - Aug 12 2021
Staff Contact: Jeremy Allen, Village Manager
Amend Personnel Policy 5.3: Village Holidays
Department: Manager
President Biden signed legislation on June 17 to make Juneteenth a federal holiday, enshrining June
19 as the national day to commemorate the end of slavery in the United States.
The Village of Tequesta in perpetuity desires to recognize the same and staff recommends amending
the Personnel Policy 5.3: Village Holidays as presented.
If approved Village buildings and office will be closed each year for Juneteenth recognition and
celebration. The estimated budgeted amount beginning FY2021-2022 will be approximately $11,639.

Staff recommends we recognize this holiday along with many other municipalities and amend our
Personnel policy 5.3: Village Holidays as presented.
