RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 22099 to establish the classification of Library Services Manager (3KGA) (unrepresented) at salary plan and grade B85 1007 ($8,335 - $10,131) and add one (1) Library Services Manager position. Abolish the classification of Virtual Library Manager (3KHB) (represented), and cancel one (1) vacant position no. 16532 in the Library Department.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Upon approval, this action will result in an annual cost increase of approximately $22,114. No fiscal impact to the County General Fund. This position is funded in the Library Fund.

BACKGROUND:

A careful internal analysis of Library management positions and the need for senior management support was conducted, as well as an external analysis that compared Contra Costa County Library with neighboring library systems. The Library determined it would achieve greater efficiencies by adding a Library Services Manager position to assist the County Librarian and the Deputy County Librarian in the day to day administration, supervision and evaluation of major system-wide County Library programs and services and to serve as a member of the Library management team for planning, budgeting, personnel and other administrative activities including the direct supervision of a number of community library managers.

The addition of a Library Services Manager position provides a promotional opportunity for existing professional level library staff. The person hired into the Library Services Manager position will report to either the County Librarian or the appropriate Deputy County Librarian, depending on assignment.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this position is not approved, the Library will have insufficient support to most effectively conduct the daily administration of its 26 libraries.
