HomeMy WebLinkAboutMINUTES - 03252014 - C.32RECOMMENDATION(S):
ADOPT Resolution No. 2014/9 to exclude the class of County Librarian from the performance pay plan, which
includes a sixth salary step for exceptional performance, and reallocate it on the Salary Schedule to a standard
five-step range from BD5 2259 ($9,923.08-$12,061.57) to BD5 2299 ($10,323.97 – $12,548.86) effective April 14,
2014.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The recommended salary equates to a 4% increase or an additional salary cost of $5,845 annually. Total
compensation is estimated to increase by $7,300 annually.
BACKGROUND:
In October 2013, County Librarian Barbara Flynn informed the County Administrator that she would resign from her
position on November 13, 2013. We contracted with Alliance Resource Consulting to conduct the recruitment to fill
the vacancy. After reviewing the salaries of Librarians in comparable counties including Alameda, Marin, Napa, San
Mateo, Santa Clara, and Solano counties, I recommend that the class of County Librarian be reallocated on the Salary
Schedule to a slightly higher amount to reach the median salary of the comparable counties.
Resolution No. 98/61 was adopted by the Board of Supervisors on February 24, 1998 to implement a performance
pay plan for the class of County Librarian that included a sixth performance step that is 5% above the top step of the
standard five-step salary range. I recommend elimination of the sixth performance step, resulting in a standard

Subject:REALLOCATE THE CLASS OF COUNTY LIBRARIAN ON THE SALARY SCHEDULE
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
five-step salary range at 5% increments between each step.
I am recommending an effective date for the salary reallocation of April 14, 2014, commensurate with the
scheduled appointment date of the new County Librarian.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Disapproval of the recommendation will likely increase the difficulty of attracting and retaining high-quality
candidates to the County Librarian position.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
No impact.
