RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 22401 to increase the hours of one (1) Librarian (3AWA) (represented) vacant position # 16681 from 20/40 hours to 40/40 hours at salary plan and grade QXX 1341 ($4,620-$5,900); increase the hours of one (1) Library Assistant-Journey Level (3KVB) (represented) vacant position # 6217 from 20/40 hours to 40/40 hours at salary plan and grade QXX 1030 ($3,395-$4,336); increase the hours of one (1) Clerk-Experienced Level (JWXB) (represented) vacant position # 11853 from 20/40 hours to 40/40 hours at salary plan and grade 3RH 0750 ($3,082-$3,824); and cancel one (1) part-time 20/40 Clerk-Experienced Level (JWXB) (represented) vacant position # 17170 at salary plan and grade 3RH 0750 ($3,082-$3,824) in the Library Department.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Upon approval, this action will result in an annual cost to the Library Fund of approximately $52,192. No fiscal impact to the County general fund. These positions are funded in the Library Budget and the increase will be funded by the City of Pinole.

BACKGROUND:

On December 18, 2018, the Pinole City Council voted to approve funding of Pinole Library facility costs. The Library provides 35 base hours of service when the city pays the facility costs. Approval will allow an increase from 24 to 35 hours each week. These position changes meet library staffing needs to ensure sufficient coverage when the library is open.

Recruitment for the Librarian and Clerk-Experienced Level positions has also been difficult because of the limited 20-hour shifts available. Increasing the hours for these positions, as well as the newly vacated Library Assistant-Journey Level position will make it easier to fill these positions.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If these position changes are not approved, the Pinole Community Library will be unable to ensure sufficient coverage when the library is open. The Library will also not realize a cost savings in benefits costs for its Clerk-Experienced Level position and will be competitively disadvantaged in filling its vacant positions.
