The attached resolution, if adopted by the Town Council, would include management employees of the Town in the June 19th holiday (Juneteenth). A separate resolution on the June 15, 2022 agenda describes the origin and significance of Juneteenth, as well as its importance to the community. If the Town Council adopts that separate Juneteenth resolution, Town employees belonging to the SEIU and Police Officers Association (POA) will receive the holiday as per their union agreements. The management employees do not have a union agreement, and in order to allow all employees to benefit from the holiday equally, the attached resolution regarding management employees is needed.
