RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 21917 to add one (1) part-time (20/40) Librarian (3AWA) (represented) position at salary plan and grade QXX 1341 ($4,188 -$5,348) in the Library Department, at the Pinole Library.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Upon approval, this action will result in an annual cost to the Library Fund of approximately $51,488, which is offset by city funds. This position will allow the Pinole Library to maintain current level of services funded in the Library budget, while enabling the Hercules Library to expand its level of service, as the community agreed. There is no fiscal impact to the County General Fund.

BACKGROUND:

Presently a vacant full-time Librarian position is assigned to the two neighboring locations of Pinole and Hercules, working 20 hours a week at each library. The Library wishes to fully dedicate this position to the Hercules Library and to add a part-time replacement at the Pinole Library. The Hercules community has a keen interest in adding more services for adults, teens, and children in the areas of programs and events and a fully dedicated Librarian position at Hercules will allow the Library to expand key services throughout scheduled hours. Adding a 20/40 part-time Librarian at the Pinole Library will maintain this location’s level of service.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this position is not added, the Library will be limited in its ability to further develop specialized programming, thus, under serving a community in need.
