Hi, Barbara --
Thank you for noticing these inconsistencies and the need for corrections in the TMC. I
support treating these corrections as scrivener's errors, and Laurel confirmed that this is
consistent with the Council's intent.
For subparagraph B below, please note also the need to make plural the references at the
end, specifically revise as follows: " ... each calendar year as -floating holidays, and the City
must grant such -days, provided ..." It seems that subparagraph B.1 should be pluralized
also. Appreciate your attention to detail making all of the needed corrections.
-Kari

Subject: Potential Scrivener's Error?
Hi Kari. During review of the codification of Ordinance No. 2670 (about adding Juneteenth as a legal
holiday), a question arose about changes needed in subparagraphs B and C regarding having 2
floating holidays (instead of 1). The ordinance addressed the clarification in subparagraph A, with an
oversight on updating the language in subparagraphs B and C. See below.
Please advise if this oversight can be corrected as a Scrivener's Error. Thank you, Kari.
