2. 3. <br />CC Work Session <br />Meeting Date: 01/09/2024 <br />Primary Strategic Plan Initiative: Not Applicable <br />Information <br />Title: <br />Holiday Messaging on Social Media <br />Purpose/Background: <br />Councilmembers Specht and Howell have requested a discussion on social media messaging by the City <br />regarding the Christmas season. <br />The City utilizes social media as a form of communication to the residents and business owners. We post a <br />variety of information throughout the year, including when city offices will be closed. Generally the message will <br />state "The City of Ramsey offices will be closed for (insert specific holiday)... " or "In observance of (insert <br />specific holiday), the City of Ramsey offices will be closed..." We also may recognize other generally practiced <br />events like Saint Patrick's Day and Halloween by calling attention to being safe, etc. The City utilized a generic <br />Happy Holidays and Season's Greeting's message when sharing that City offices would be closed December 22nd <br />and 25th. <br />M.S. 645.44, Subd. 5. Defines holidays as: <br />January 1 — New Year's Day <br />Third Monday in January — Martin Luther King's Birthday <br />Third Monday in February — Washington's and Lincoln's Birthday <br />Last Monday in May — Memorial Day <br />June 19 — Juneteenth <br />July 4 — Independence Day <br />First Monday in September — Labor Day <br />Second Monday in October — Indigenous Peoples Day <br />November 11 — Veterans Day <br />Fourth Thursday in November — Thanksgiving Day <br />December 25 — Christmas Day <br />*Political subdivisions shall have the option of determining whether Indigenous Peoples Day and the <br />Friday after Thanksgiving shall be holidays. <br />Timeframe: <br />Funding Source: <br />Responsible Party(ies): <br />Outcome: <br />Based on Council consensus. <br />No files) attached. <br />Attachments <br />Form Review <br />
