RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Resolution No. 2018/97 authorizing the operating hours for the El Cerrito Library to be updated from those approved under Resolution 2018/27 on January 16, 2018.

FISCAL IMPACT:

All costs of the modified operating schedule will be reimbursed by the City of El Cerrito.

BACKGROUND:

On May 8, 2012, the Board of Supervisors approved Resolution No. 2012/177 authorizing a change in operating hours for departments that deviated from the standard operating hours (8am-12 noon; 1 pm-5pm) set under County Ordinance Code 22-2.202. Resolution No. 2018/27 authorizes the County Ordinance Code 22-2.202 to reflect the Library's current operating hours at all libraries and Library Administration. This revision to Table A will correctly reflect the operating hours for the El Cerrito Branch of the Library. Contra Costa County provides each library in the County system with a basic 35 open hours per week, provided they fund all costs for maintenance. On June 6, 2017, the El Cerrito City Council voted to approve their proposed budget, which included the additional funding necessary to cover the costs of increasing the open hours of the library to 50 hours per week, an increase of 42% over current service levels. The library will now be open every day instead of the previous schedule of 5 open days per week.

The new library schedule will begin on April 2, 2018: Mon, Tues (Noon to 8pm), Wed, Thurs (10am to 6pm), Fri, Sat (10am to 5pm) and Sun (1pm to 5pm).
