RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 22319 to add one (1) full-time Librarian (3AWA) (represented) position at salary plan and grade QXX 1341 ($4,620-$5,900), and one (1) full-time Clerk – Senior Level (JWXC) (represented) position at salary plan and grade 3RX 1033 ($3,406-$4,350); increase the hours of one (1) part-time 20/40 Library Assistant – Journey Level (3KVB) (represented) vacant position No. 10234 at salary plan and grade QXX 1030 ($3,395-$4,336) to full-time 40/40, and one (1) part-time 20/40 Clerk – Experienced Level (JWXB) (represented) vacant position No. 11660 at salary plan and grade 3RH 0750 ($3,082-$3,824) to full-time 40/40; cancel one (1) part-time 20/40 Library Assistant – Journey Level (3KVB) (represented) vacant position No. 6078 at salary plan and grade QXX 1030 ($3,395-$4,336) and cancel one (1) part-time 20/40 Clerk – Experienced Level (JWXB) (represented) vacant position No. 11659 at salary plan and grade 3RH 0750 ($3,082-$3,824) in the Library Department.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Upon approval, this action will result in an annual cost to the Library Fund of approximately $136,005. No fiscal impact to the County General Fund. These positions are funded in the Library budget and by the City of Brentwood.

BACKGROUND:

The new Brentwood Library is due to open to the public in September 2018 and will be a vastly larger Library with multiple floors. The design of this Library will require additional staff to ensure the proper amount of service and safety for patrons and staff.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If these position changes are not implemented, the Library will be unable to provide staffing levels sufficient to meet the needs of the communities it serves.
