RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 26128 to cancel one (1) Librarian III (3ATA) (represented) position #18580 at salary plan and grade QX5 1002 ($6,616 - $8,042) and add one (1) Librarian II (3AVD) (represented) position at salary plan and grade QX5 1001 ($6,015 - $7,311) in the Library.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Upon approval, this action will result in an annual savings to the Library Fund of approximately $9,373. No fiscal impact to the County general fund.

BACKGROUND:

The Library recently conducted two recruitments to fill the existing Librarian III vacancy at the Walnut Creek Library branch. During these two recruitments, four candidates were deemed a good fit. Two of the candidates opted not to go through the reference check process and the other two declined job offers resulting in two failed recruitment attempts. The Library has determined that a Librarian II will be sufficient to meet the needs of the branch and will more likely result in a successful recruitment. Consequently, the Library seeks to eliminate the Librarian III vacancy and add a Librarian II vacancy in its place.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this position change is not approved, Library services at the Walnut Creek branch will be negatively impacted since there will be a shortage of necessary professional staff at the branch.
