RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 21764 to cancel one (1) part-time (20/40) Library Assistant- Journey Level (3KVB) (represented) vacant position No. 11832 and increase the hours of one (1) part-time (20/40) Library Assistant-Journey Level (3KVB) (represented) vacant position No. 6040 to full-time (40/40) at salary plan and grade QXX-1030 ($3,078 - $3,931) in the Library Department, Martinez Library.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Upon approval, this action will result in an annual cost saving to the Library Fund of approximately $12,337. 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 Martinez Library. Canceling one part-time Library Assistant-Journey Level position and increasing the hours of another part-time Library Assistant-Journey Level position will result in a net savings of $12,337 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.
