RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 22536 to increase the hours of one (1) vacant Library Assistant-Journey Level (3KVB) (represented) position #6044 from 20/40 hours to 32/40 hours at salary plan and grade QXX 1030 ($3,531 - $4,509) in the Library Department.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Upon approval, this action will result in an annual cost to the Library Fund of approximately $17,685. No fiscal impact to the County general fund.

BACKGROUND:

The City of Pittsburg has a large, diverse, Spanish-speaking population. It currently has one Library Assistant-Journey Level position that is flagged for bilingual Spanish speakers. Since the time that position was flagged, the Library has determined that there is a higher need for bilingual staff to better serve the Pittsburg population. It has further determined that an increase in the working hours of the current bilingual position would most efficiently serve this need.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this position change is not approved, the Library will continue to have difficulties serving its diverse Spanish-speaking population.
