To: Board of Supervisors
From: Alison McKee, County Librarian
Report Title: Add one limited term Deputy County Librarian (3AFE) position
☒Recommendation of the County Administrator ☐ Recommendation of Board Committee
RECOMMENDATIONS:
ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 26308 to add one (1) limited term full-time Deputy County Librarian (3AFE) position (unrepresented).
FISCAL IMPACT:
Upon approval, this action will result in a one-time cost to the Library Fund of approximately $115,674. No fiscal impact to the County general fund.
BACKGROUND:
In early July 2024, the incumbent of a Deputy County Librarian position announced she would retire in early October 2024. In an effort to streamline processes and avoid any gaps in service to the public, the Library seeks to add a Deputy County Librarian position. This limited term position will allow the Library to hire a new Deputy prior to the retirement, which will allow time for cross training. The Library has already opened the recruitment and expects the position to be filled in the coming weeks. Once the current Deputy County Librarian retires, the Library will cancel the vacant Deputy County Librarian position by October 31, 2024 or upon the retirement of the incumbent Deputy County Librarian, whichever occurs first.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this position change is not approved, the Library will have some difficulties providing services to the public as time will need to be taken to train a new staff member without the experience of the current incumbent.
