RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 22328 to increase the hours of one (1) part-time (32/40) Librarian (3AWA) (represented) vacant position #17009 at salary plan and grade QXX 1341 ($4,620-$5,900) to full-time (40/40); and add one (1) part-time (20/40) Clerk-Experienced Level (JWXB) (represented) position at salary plan and grade 3RH 0750 ($3,082-$3,824) in the Library Department at the San Pablo Library.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Upon approval, this action will result in an annual cost to the Library Fund of approximately $59,000. No fiscal impact to the County general fund. These positions are funded in the Library Budget and the increase in hours will be funded by the City of San Pablo.

BACKGROUND:

In August 2017, the San Pablo Library opened at a new and larger facility with an increase in open hours. The Library provides funding sufficient for community libraries to be open a minimum of thirty-five (35) hours a week. The City of San Pablo has agreed to provide additional funding to increase the hours the San Pablo Library is open from thirty-nine (39) hours and six (6) days a week to forty-seven (47) hours and seven (7) days a week. The new San Pablo Library requires increased staffing sufficient to ensure coverage each day.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If these position changes are not implemented, the Library will have insufficient staffing levels to support the significant increase in Library open hours and will not be able to meet the needs of the communities it serves.
