Section 10.2 of the MOU states that eligible employees receive two floating holidays per calendar year. The City has a long standing practice to make the two floating holidays available for use on July 1 of each year. Therefore the language in the MOU which states "calendar year" should state `fiscal year" to reflect the past practice. There is no fiscal impact to this proposed change.
