RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 25759 to increase the hours of one (1) vacant Library Assistant-Journey Level (3KVB) (represented) position (#12995) at Salary Plan and Grade QXX 1030 ($3,637 - $4,645) from part time (20/40) to full time (40/40/) in the Library Department.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Upon approval, this action will result in an annual cost to the Library Fund of approximately $30,910, to be mitigated by a reduction in the use of permanent intermittent staff services. No fiscal impact to the County General Fund.

BACKGROUND:

After the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Library conducted an evaluation of its staffing and scheduling plans in order to better meet the needs of patrons as well as to create more efficient staffing at its community library locations. As a result of that evaluation, the Library identified a need to adjust schedules

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

of select vacant positions to improve employee recruitment, reassignment, and retention. Additionally, the consistent presence of a full-time position would help maintain continuity of service for library patrons.

The Library has determined that a vacant part-time Library Assistant - Journey position (#12995) located in Hercules should be increased from part-time to full-time in order to properly meet staffing and patron needs. This need at the Hercules branch location became more apparent after the Library reopened to the public in April 2021.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this position change is not approved, the Library will have difficulties with recruitment and retention, as well as providing services to the public at the Hercules Library.
