RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 22191 to cancel one (1) vacant full time Network Technician I (LNWA) (represented) position No. 15301 at salary plan and grade ZB5 1496 ($5,244 - $6,374) and add one (1) full time Personnel Services Assistant II (ARVA) (unrepresented) position at salary plan and grade B85 1517 ($5,356 - $6,511) in the Library Department.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Upon approval, this action will result in an annual cost of approximately $1,883. No fiscal impact to the County General Fund. This position is funded in the Library Fund.

BACKGROUND:

The Library carefully analyzed its current staffing levels within its Information Technology (IT) division and its Personnel Services division and determined that certain position changes were needed. The vacant Network Technician I position is no longer necessary in light of evolving technological advances and the June 2017 addition of a Network Administrator I position that reports to the individual in charge of the Library's IT division. The Library recommends that the Network Technician I position be canceled.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

It has also been determined that the technical expertise of a Personnel Services II position is required to maintain responsive personnel services within the department. Support needed includes centralized hiring and personnel services coordination of over 150 Library Aide-Exempt positions, assistance with department-wide employee performance management, and oversight of an increasing number of position reassignment actions - postings, conferences, and interviews that vary procedurally for each employee bargaining unit. The Library recommends that a Personnel Services Assistant II be added.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The Library would maintain inefficient staffing levels and would be unable to provide responsive personnel program services.
