BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
On May 8, 2012, the Board of Supervisors approved Resolution No. 2012/177 authorizing a change in operating hours for departments that deviated from the standard operating hours (8am-12 noon; 1 pm-5pm) set under County Ordinance Code 22-2.202. County Ordinance Code 22-2.202 authorizes the Board of Supervisors to modify, by resolution, the Library's operating hours. This revision to Table A will correctly reflect the operating hours for the Brentwood Branch of the Library. Contra Costa County provides each library in the County system with a basic 35 open hours per week, provided that the city funds all costs for maintenance.
During the renovation of the Brentwood Library, the schedule was reduced from 56 hours per week to 40 hours per week. At the City Council Meeting on June 12, 2018, the Council voted to approve its budget,
which included returning the library to its pre-renovation schedule of 56 open hours per week. On September 29, 2018, the City will reopen its new Library with more than the 40 hours per week that are reflected on the Table A attachment submitted on March 20, 2018. The new library schedule will begin on September 29, 2018: Mon-Thurs (10am to 8pm), Fri and Sat (10am to 6pm).
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The ordinance will not reflect the current operating hours for the Brentwood Library.
