RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 22508 to reallocate the salary of the Deputy County Librarian (3AFE) (unrepresented) classification on the Salary Schedule from Salary Plan and Grade B85 1983 ($9,102.11 - $11,063.68) to Salary Plan and Grade B85 1983 ($10,870.08 - $13,212.66) in the Library Department.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Upon approval, this action will result in an annual cost to the Library Fund of approximately $62,073. No fiscal impact to the County general fund.

BACKGROUND:

The County Librarian is requesting that the classification of Deputy County Librarian be reallocated on the salary schedule to better recruit and retain employees. For approximately 10 years, one of the Deputy County Librarian positions has remained largely vacant; then filled for less than two years. The Library anticipates at least one retirement in the Deputy County Librarian class in fiscal year 2019-20. In order to encourage the best pool of possible candidates to fill any vacancies, as well as to retain them after hire, the Library must offer more competitive compensation.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this action is not approved, this classification will not be appropriately compensated and the Library will experience difficulty attracting and retaining candidates and may be detrimentally impacted by the loss of highly trained personnel.
