RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 25988 to cancel one 20/40 Clerk Senior Level (JWXC) (represented) position #12697 and increase the hours of one 20/40 Clerk Senior Level (JWXC) (represented) position #12698 to full time in the Library Department, Dougherty Station Library branch.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Upon approval, this action will result in an annual savings to the Library Fund of approximately $21,276. No fiscal impact to the County general fund.

BACKGROUND:

The Library has been working on a reallocation of resources to create more efficient staffing at its branch locations. As part of that plan, the Library has increased or modified hours at various locations, including at the Dougherty Station Library. As a result of this change, the Library has determined that the Dougherty Station community would be better served with a full-time clerk at that location.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

The Library has determined that the part-time Clerk-Senior Level positions located at the Dougherty Station Library would better serve the needs of the public if they were combined into a single full-time position. This will allow for more time for the clerical services to be available in the branch and to provide needed flexibility in service to the community. Additionally, recruitment and retention for a full-time position will be easier than for two part-time positions.

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.
