RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 22130 to increase the hours of one (1) part-time (20/40) Clerk-Experienced Level (JWXB) (represented) position No. 6237 to part-time (32/40) at salary plan and grade 3RH 0750 ($2,993 - $3,713) in the Library Department.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Upon approval, this action will result in an annual cost to the Library Fund of approximately $21,015. There is no fiscal impact to the County General Fund.

BACKGROUND:

The Library is requesting to increase the hours of one 20/40 Clerk-Experienced Level position in Library Administration to meet the growing administrative and substitute staff scheduling demands of the twenty-six (26) community libraries that operate seven (7) days a week. Administrative support tasks include the processing of facility work requests, payroll and audit reporting, personnel services clerical support work, inventory control and record keeping functions. This request is supported by the extra hours worked by staff in Library Administration and the increased workload of the Office Manager who oversees the position. Increasing the hours of this position from part-time 20/40 to part-time 32/40 would decrease the number of extra and overtime hours worked, allow for more efficient scheduling over the weekend and reduce the workload of the Office Manager.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this position's authorized hours are not increased, the Library will be less efficient in its administrative support of the community libraries.
