Subject:P300 No.21019 Cancel Two Positions, Add One Position, and Increase One Position in the Library
Department
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
Community Libraries by planning and implementing services on a county-wide level.
However, the Lafayette Library and Learning Center Foundation has engaged in
grant-writing to bring these programs to the other libraries and in the process has
eliminated the need for a Library Specialist. The Library Department is requesting the
cancellation of one vacant (1) Library Specialist and in its place, requesting the addition
of one (1) Librarian for the Lafayette Library.
At the Pleasant Hill Library, the Library Department is requesting that a vacant part-time
20/40 Clerk - Experienced Level position be canceled and the hours of a part-time 20/40
Clerk - Senior Level be increased to full-time 40/40. The Pleasant Hill Library is the
largest Library facility in Contra Costa County (51,000 square feet). The Pleasant Hill
Library hosts 1,000 visitors each day and circulates 460,000 items annually. With the
exception of Pleasant Hill, each of the Community Libraries with an annual circulation of
over 240,000 items employs a full time 40/40 Clerk - Senior Level. The Clerk- Senior
Level plays a critical role in ensuring that duties are completed on time, staff time is
scheduled efficiently, and that all tasks are accounted for resulting in a positive
experience for library visitors. A full time 40/40 Clerk - Senior Level would greatly
enhance the Pleasant Hill Library's ability to serve the public.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this request is not approved, the County will not realize an annual cost savings of
$21,120 and service efficiencies will not be executed.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
No impact.
