The Library has been working on a reallocation of resources to create more efficient staffing at its branch locations. As part of that plan, the Library has increased or modified hours at various locations, including at the San Ramon Library. As a result of this change, the Library has determined that the San Ramon community would be better served with a full-time Library Assistant and full-time Clerk at that location.  
  
Following the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Library worked on evaluating its staffing and scheduling plans to best meet the needs of patrons. Following this evaluation, the Library determined that its community libraries should each have at least a Tuesday through Saturday schedule. As part of that determination, the Library has been working to adjust schedules of its vacant positions to align with this new scheduling plan.  
  
The Library has determined that the current, recently vacated part-time Clerk-Senior Level position located in San Ramon would better serve the needs of the public if it was a full time position. Additionally, a new Library Assistant-Journey Level position is needed to provide more paraprofessional library services within the branch and to provide needed flexibility in service to the community. Further, recruitment and retention for full time positions are more successful than for part time positions.  

If this position change is not approved, the Library will have difficulty with recruitment and retention, as well as providing services to the public.
