Knox Council Approves 2017 Schedule

CalendarThe Knox City Council approved various schedules for 2017 during Tuesday’s meeting. Next year’s holiday schedule calls for two fewer days off for city employees. Clerk-Treasurer Jeff Houston said that while Election Day has traditionally been a holiday for the city, the fact that no elections are scheduled next year means employees will be required to work those two days.

Additionally, January 2 will be a holiday, since New Year’s Day falls on a Sunday, and Veteran’s Day 2017 will be observed a day early on November 10. December 26, 2017 will also be a holiday for Knox employees.

Meanwhile, the Knox City Council will continue to meet the second and fourth Tuesdays of each month at 7:00 p.m. at City Hall. However, the last meeting of 2017 will be held a day later, due to the city’s holiday schedule. The board of works will meet the fourth Wednesday of each month at 9:30 a.m. Houston pointed out that special sessions may need to be added during the course of the year.

The 2017 Knox holiday schedule, city council meeting schedule, and board of works meeting schedule were approved unanimously.
