RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 22483 to cancel four (4) permanent-intermittent Librarian (3AWA) (represented) vacant positions (6091, 6092, 6098, and 11407) at salary plan and grade QXX 1341 ($4,805-$6,136) and add four (4) permanent-intermittent Library Assistant-Journey Level (3KVB) (represented) positions at salary plan and grade QXX 1030 ($3,531-$4,509) in the Library Department.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Upon approval, this action will result in an annual savings to the Library Fund of approximately $66,856. No fiscal impact to the County General Fund.

BACKGROUND:

The Library has been having difficulty filling certain substitute shifts to cover temporary absences.

Following review of the duties performed by permanent-intermittent classifications in the Library Department and an analysis of unfilled substitute vacancies, it was determined that greater staffing flexibility could be achieved with four (4) paraprofessional permanent-intermittent Library Assistant-Journey Level positions over the professional Librarian positions.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this position change is not approved, the Library will continue to struggle with filling substitute shifts, which will negatively impact service at the community libraries.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

No impact.
