RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 21784 to cancel one (1) part-time (20/40) Clerk-Experienced Level (JWXB) (represented) vacant position No. 11661 at salary plan and grade 3RH 0750 ($2,794 - $3,466) and increase the hours of one (1) part-time (20/40) Clerk-Experienced Level (JWXB) (represented) vacant position No. 11727 to full-time (40/40) at salary plan and grade 3RH 0750 ($2,794 - $3,466) at the Library Department, Pittsburg Library.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Upon approval, this action will result in an annual cost savings to the Library Fund of approximately $12,336. No fiscal impact to the County General Fund. This position is funded in the Library budget.

BACKGROUND:

As part of a budget strategy to reduce benefits costs and to increase our competitive ability to fill vacant positions, the Library carefully evaluated the possibility of merging part-time positions into full-time positions and determined that it could make these position changes at the Pittsburg Library. Canceling one part-time Clerk-Experienced Level position and increasing the hours of another part-time Clerk-Experienced Level position will result in a net savings of $12,336 annually.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If these position changes are not implemented, the Library will not realize a cost savings and will remain competitively disadvantaged in filling its vacant positions.
