MANAGEMENT AND CITY OF RICHMOND

The City of Richmond (“City”) and the IFPTE Local 21 Executive Management Unit (“Unit”) (collectively, “the Parties”) have met and conferred in good faith pursuant to California law regarding the Juneteenth and Cesar Chavez holidays. The Parties hereby agree that the City will add Juneteenth and Cesar Chavez to Article 8.12 of the Parties’ 2021-2025 Memorandum of Understanding. Article 8.12(A) will be amended to read as follows:
A. All regular, full-time classified employees shall be allowed a fully paid leave of absence on the following named holidays:
Independence Day July 4
Labor Day First Monday in September
Admission Day September 9
Columbus Day Second Monday in October
Veteran's Day November 11

Article 8.12(B) will be revised as follows:
B. In addition to the holidays listed in the preceding paragraph, each employee shall be granted five (5) days and two (2) hours paid floating holidays per calendar year which may be taken at any time during the calendar year subject to the approval of the employee's department director. Said holidays must be taken during each calendar year and may not be carried over from one calendar year to the next. To be eligible for such holiday, an employee must have been working for the City prior to September 1 of the calendar year. It is understood that one of these floating holidays has been created in recognition of Cesar Chavez’ Birthday and in the event that day becomes generally observed as a fixed holiday, the parties agree to convert one floating holiday to that fixed holiday.
The amended Articles 8.12(A) and 8.12(B) take effect the first full pay period following City Council adoption of this Side Letter Agreement. New holidays will not be provided on a retroactive basis.
