8-1 O-99 ESTABLISH NEW AND REVISE MANAGEMENT
IEPT. HR CLASSIFICATIONS; AMEND THE MANAGEMENT SALAR
STRUCTURE AND CONFLICT OF INTEREST CODE
3ECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt Resolution No. qS -a2 to establish the new classification and salary of
Gallery Coordinator; to revise the classification and salary of Principal Librarian; and to
amend the Management Salary Structure and Conflict of Interest Code.
BACKGROUND
In preparation for the opening of the new library this fall, the library department
conducted a review of the functions and staffing required for the new building. During
the budget process, two new positions were approved to enhance the services provided to
the public. The new positions are Gallery Coordinator and Principal Librarian. Human
Resources has submitted the attached classification descriptions, Exhibit 1, to the City
Manager for approval and submits the following recommended salary levels for these
new classifications for Council approval.
The 2,000 square foot William D. Cannon Art Gallery is part of the new library. There
are six exhibitions planned annually which will include both traveling exhibitions and
local juried shows. Educational programs relating to the exhibitions will be also be
incorporated. The proposed Gallery Coordinator will be responsible for coordinating
these art programs as well as the Sculpture Garden located at the Carlsbad Arts Office
near City Hall.
Based on a salary survey of comparable positions in the market and a review of internal
relationships, Human Resources recommends the Gallery Coordinator be placed in grade
2 of the Management Salary Structure, minimum $38,900, market range: $43,800 -
$53,500 annually.
In planning for the organization of library services, the department determined that a
Principal Librarian level was necessary for the management of a major division, such as,
Public Services, Technical/Support Services and/or the Branch Library. The new
position approved in the budget will manage the Public Services area which consolidates
Children’s Services, Circulation Services, and Reference. (See attached Exhibit 2:
Library Organizational Chart.) It is also recommended that the incumbent Library
Services Specialist, who is the current manager of the branch library, be reclassified to
Principal Librarian. It is anticipated at some future time to create a consolidated
Technical/Support Services division.
The current classification description of Principal Librarian is outdated and has not been
used for many years. Based on the revised description, staff conducted a market survey
and recommends the salary grade placement to be changed from grade 4 to grade 3 of the
Management Salary Suucture, minimum $43,600, market range. $49,000 - $59,900. The
following table displays the recommended classification and salary amendments.
Current Classification Current Proposed Revised Proposed
Salary Classification Salary
Grade Grade
Principal Librarian 4 Principal Librarian 3
Library Services Specialist 3 Principal Librarian 3
It is also recommended that the Conflict of Interest Code be amended to reflect the above
changes.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The estimated total compensation costs of $69,000 for the new position of Principal
Librarian and $57,000 for the new position of Gallery Coordinator have been approved
by Council in the FY 1999-2000 budget. There is no additional cost in reclassifying the
Library Services Specialist to Principal Librarian.
