TO: HONORABLE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: ADOPTION OF A Resolution of the city council of the city of commerce, california, APPROVING REVISIONS TO STAFFING ALLOCATED TO THE DEPARTMENTS OF LIBRARY SERVICES, PARKS AND RECREATION, AND PUBLIC WORKS.
Meeting Date: October 8, 2024
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff is recommending that the City Council approve a resolution to augment Library Services Department staffing required for the anticipated reopening of the Bandini Library and Learning Center in January 2025, as well as to modify staffing allocations for the Parks and Recreation Department and Public Works Department:
Add one (1) full-time Branch Library Supervisor, one (1) full-time Senior Library Assistant, one (1) part-time Library Assistant, and two (2) part-time Homework Center Helpers.
Delete three (3) full-time Recreation Center Supervisor positions, one part-time Travel Coach position, and add three (3) full-time Recreation Coordinator positions.
Delete the full-time Deputy Director of Public Works Operations classification from the City’s classification plan.
ANALYSIS:
Staffing needs were reviewed with the Library Services Department, and the following positions are recommended. The Bandini Library and Learning Center will be opened to the community for 36 hours weekly, Monday through Thursday from 10:00 a.m. – 7:00 p.m. These proposed hours would allow for Bandini Elementary students to have morning access for class visits as well as to provide educational programs in the evening hours. The following positions are requested:
One (1) full-time Branch Library Supervisor
One (1) full-time Senior Library Assistant
One (1) part-time Library Assistant
Two (2) part-time Homework Center Helpers.
Staffing needs were reviewed with the Parks and Recreation Department, and staff recommends the following changes to augment staff for recreation programming for City residents, as well as special events.
Delete two (2) vacant full-time Recreation Center Supervisor positions and add three (3) full-time Recreation Coordinator positions. Upon an additional Recreation Center Supervisor position vacancy, the third Recreation Coordinator position would underfill said Recreation Center Supervisor upon approval of this action.
Delete one (1) Travel Coach position.
Staff recommends the deletion of the Deputy Director of Public Works Operations classification from the City’s classification plan.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The addition of one (1) full-time Branch Library Supervisor position, one (1) full-time Senior Library Assistant position, one (1) part-time Library Assistant position, and two (2) part-time Homework Center Helper positions will have a net fiscal impact of $191,101 (projected staff onboarding date – December 1, 2024). Fully burdened cost for FY 2025-26 will be approximately $357,443.
The deletion of two vacant full-time Recreation Center Supervisor positions, deletion of one part-time Travel Coach position, and the addition of three (3) Recreation Coordinator positions will produce a savings of approximately $104,139 for the rest of the current fiscal year.
The deletion of the Deputy Director of Public Works Operations position will not provide a savings for the current fiscal year. Contractual obligations / payouts will negate any potential savings.
The net fiscal impact of these changes will result in adding approximately $86,962 to the current fiscal year budget.
ALTERNATIVES:
Approve Staff’s recommendation.
Disapprove Staff’s recommendation.
Provide staff with further direction.
