  • MLK Day could be added to city holidays next year

    Williston City Council agreed Tuesday to forfeit the day after Christmas paid holiday in exchange for employees getting Martin Luther King Day off in January.
    The decision came after community leader Avis Seabrook asked council to allow city workers to have the federal holiday off.
    Seabrook said she did not have to tell anyone about the good that Dr. King did, as she presented 204 signatures of other residents who feel as she does.
    She also asked council to not make employees take their floating holiday, but to actually add it to the holiday calendar.

    Council members, with the exception of Michael Shoemaker, met last Thursday in a three-hour workshop to discuss the city’s electric department, the airport and how to handle recommendations from the 2010 audit.
    In 2010-11, city staff failed to process the formula for the bulk power cost adjustment, which resulted in the overcharge of more than $300,000.
