Discussion and possible directions to staff on any and all matters regarding the City of San Luis 4/10s work schedule and its benefits.  (Council Member Mario Buchanan Jr.)

Council Member Mario Buchanan Jr. requested to place this item on the Work Session scheduled for December 4, 2019, to discuss the 4/10's schedule and its benefits to the city and the community vs. the 5/8's schedule.

The City of San Luis has had the current work schedule since approximately mid-2008.  In 2011 inquiries were made by former Council Members about the savings incurred.  In a work session on February 15, 2012, this same item was discussed were Council Members and staff participated, and the same schedule was kept since then.
 
Mr. Ken Strobeck, Arizona League of Cities and Towns Executive Director, provided with the “2019 Local  Government Salary & Benefits Survey,” where it shows that twenty-one (21) out of the ninety-one (91) cities throughout the state of Arizona are in a 5/8’s schedule.  The rest are on a mixed schedule between 4/10’s and 5/8’s like the City of San Luis does depend on the various departments.
