The lone holdout: Commissioner Josh Liebman, who lamented the cost to the city. Liebman, a real estate agent who has served on the commission since 2012, said city employees already receive ten paid national holidays, two to four weeks of vacation, two weeks of sick time, and a handful of city holidays or half-days each year. We have to be very careful about paid-day-off creep, he said at the meeting. Juneteenth has become more widely recognized as a holiday in recent decades, although a number of companies and local and state governments began to designate June 19 as a holiday after the racial-justice protests that emerged last summer following the murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis. Miami-Dade made Juneteenth a paid holiday for county workers in October, and the City of North Miami Beach did so last month.
