Fiscal Note
The proposed resolution authorizes the recreation of position 4582 (CG 18/R 10) into two new positions: 0.9 FTE Multisite Library Assistant and 0.6 FTE Library Assistant at Hawthorne Library. Both positions will be in CG 32/R 5. The resolution further authorizes the FTE increase of a 0.6 FTE Library Clerk 1 (CG 32/R 1) to a 1.0 FTE Library Clerk 1 at Sequoya Library. This is a net increase of 0.9 FTE. The proposed adjustments in this resolution have an effective date of March 15, 2026.
The 2026 estimated cost of the recreation of position 4582 and the FTE increase for position 525 is $140,255. The annualized cost is approximately $175,150. The 2026 Adopted Operating Budget includes $193,900 for salaries and benefits for these positions, which is more than sufficient to cover the cost of the resolution. As outlined in the memo, savings will be redirected to hourly wages to support additional Library Page staffing needs in 2026. These changes will also be reflected in future operating budgets. No additional appropriation required.
