LIBRARY AND ADDING THE POSITION OF LIBRARY BUILDING
MANAGER.
Comment: In FY00 the Library added 2.25 full time equivalent employees
(three positions) to take over general building cleaning done for many
years by contract cleaning services. This move was made to assure
acceptable quality performance, which had not been the case for some
time with the contract service. The three people hired are managed and
supervised by the Library's Maintenance Worker III. This change reflects
increased job responsibilities and was originally requested by the Library
as part of the FY00 budget request for the additional staff. It has been
delayed over a year because of the City's desire to look at similar
positions, including the new Assistant Superintendent--Landfill which was
approved on November 7, Most of the increased wages will be offset by a
reduction in Overtime pay this individual received as a Maintenance
Worker III. Approximate cost resulting from this change is $3,400.
