conditions below. To qualify for tuition advancement/reimbursement, a Tuition Loan/

Department Head and Human Resources Administrator, before the course(s) begin.
Tuition loan or reimbursement shall only be for courses, specialized training, or
degree programs "job- related" that are directly related to the employee's position as
determined by the City Manager or designee.
The Tuition Loan /Reimbursement Program will operate on a fiscal year basis
(July 1 through June 30) and shall be subject to the availability of funds as determined
by the City. The maximum loan or reimbursement amount shall be $4,126 for

the class, the advance is due and payable.

SECTION 3. Effective September 22, 2010, the following language shall
apply to the existing floating holidays provided to Executive, Management and
Unrepresented Confidential employees: "In lieu of Citywide holidays to celebrate Dr.
Martin Luther King's birthday and Admissions Day, Executive, Management and
Unrepresented Confidential employees shall receive two (2) eight (8) hour floating
holidays (9 hour floating holidays for Police Captain and Police Lieutenant) to be
scheduled by the employee in the same manner as vacation leave. Additionally,
Executive, Management and Unrepresented Confidential employees shall receive an
eight (8) hour floating holiday not assigned to a specific Holiday to be scheduled by the
employee in the same manner as vacation leave. Floating holidays shall not carry over
into subsequent fiscal years and failure to schedule a floating holiday in the fiscal year
in which it is earned shall result in its loss. If the City adopts Dr. Martin Luther King's
3 6746
birthday as a fixed Citywide holiday or it re- adopts Admissions Day as a fixed Citywide
holiday, the floating holiday(s) based thereon shall cease and eligible employee shall
receive the fixed Citywide holiday(s).
Executive, Management and Unrepresented Confidential employees employed
on July 1 of the fiscal year shall conditionally accrue twenty -four (24) hours of floating
holiday (25 hours for Police Captain and Police Lieutenant). If the employee uses
floating holiday leave and separates from City employment before the date upon which
the assigned floating holiday is based (Dr. Martin Luther King's birthday and Admissions
Day), said floating holiday leave shall be repaid to the City through payroll deduction.
Employees hired after the beginning of the fiscal year shall accrue floating holiday only
if the employee is employed before the date on which the floating holiday is based (Dr.
Martin Luther King's birthday and Admissions day). As an example, an employee hired
on July 15 would receive a floating holiday for Admissions Day and MLK's birthday for
that fiscal year and 8 hours of floating holiday not assigned to a specific holiday.
However, if that same employee was hired on March 15, the employee would only
receive the 8 hours of unassigned floating holiday benefit for that fiscal year.
SECTION 4. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this
Resolution.
