RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 25758 to increase the hours of one (1) vacant Library Assistant-Journey Level (3KVB) (represented) position #11670 from 20/40 hours to 40/40 hours at
Salary Plan and Grade QXX 1030 ($3,638 - $4,645) 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:

The City of Pittsburg has a large, diverse, Spanish-speaking population. While the Library has determined that there is a need for bilingual staff to serve Spanish-speaking library patrons, it currently has no Library

Assistant-Journey Level positions in Pittsburg that require fluency in Spanish. Additionally, the Library has determined that increasing the position from part-time to full-time will align with the Library’s current staffing structure and vision, as well as improve employee recruitment and retention.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this position change is not approved, the Library will continue to have difficulties serving its diverse Spanish-speaking population.
