RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Resolution No. 2019/202 authorizing the operating hours for the Pinole Library to be updated from those approved under Resolution No. 2018/476 on September 11, 2018. (No fiscal impact)

FISCAL IMPACT:

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

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 (8 am-12 noon; 1 pm-5 pm) set under County Ordinance Code 22-2.202. County Ordinance Code 22-2.202 authorizes the Board of Supervisors to modify, by resolution, the Library's operating hours. This revision to Table A will correctly reflect the operating hours for the Pinole Branch of the Library. Contra Costa County provides each library in the County system with a basic 35 open hours per week, provided that the city funds all costs for maintenance. Due to the City of Pinole's inability to fund library maintenance costs, the Pinole Library hours were reduced to 24 hours per week. At the City Council Meeting on December 18, 2018, the Council voted to approve its budget, which included funding for the maintenance costs of the library. On July 1, 2019, the City will be eligible for the same 35 base hours offered as other cities that fully fund library maintenance costs. This is more than the 24 hours per week that are reflected on the Table A attachment submitted on September 11, 2018. The new library schedule will begin on July 1, 2019: Tues (10 am-6 pm); Wed, Thurs (12 noon- 8 pm); Fri (1 pm-5 pm); Sat (10 am-5 pm).

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The ordinance will not reflect the current operating hours for the Pinole Library.
