Consideration of a Resolution Approving Letter of Agreements
with the Bell Gardens City Employees Association, the Bell
Gardens Public Works Employees Association, and the Bell
Gardens Public Works Supervisors Association for Closure of
City Hall and Other City Facilities for the Holidays
RECOMMENDATION: It is staff’s recommendation that the City
Council approve the attached Resolution, approving a Letter
Agreement with the Bell Gardens City Employees Association
(BGCEA), the Bell Gardens Public Works Employees Association
(BGPWEA), and the Bell Gardens Public Works Supervisors Association
(BGPWSA) to close City Hall and other City facilities on Monday
December 22, 2025, through Thursday December 25, 2025. Employees
would be required to take approved leave time (i.e., vacation,
compensatory) or unpaid time off for those hours not worked, for the
dates of Monday, December 22, 2025; Tuesday, December 23, 2025;
and Wednesday, December 24, 2025. Thursday, December 25, 2025, is
observed as a City holiday, per the current Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU) with the respective employee associations. The
City will be open for business on Monday, December 29, 2025;
Tuesday, December 30, 2025; and Wednesday, December 31, 2025.
CONCLUSION: If the Letter Agreements with BGCEA, BGPWEA, and
BGPWSA are approved, then:
1. City Hall, Public Works, and Parks and Recreation offices will
be closed from Monday, December 22, 2025, through
Thursday, December 25, 2025. However, BGPWEA and
BGPWSA employees working in certain Public Works
operations who are needed for operational continuity, BGCEA
employees designated to work in the Police Department
Police Field Services, and BGCEA employees working in certain
Recreation and Community capacities would work their
regular schedules.
2. BGCEA, BGPWEA, and BGPWSA members will use up to 30
hours of leave time during this period, and the City will reduce
its accrued leave liabilities by approximately $95,000 in future
leave payouts.
FISCAL IMPACT: For the three (3) days that employees will be off,
they will use approximately 30 hours of their own leave time that will
avoid future City leave accrual payouts of $95,000. There will also be
additional cost savings by reduced energy use related to utilities and
HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning).
