2 technical.reference services could no longer provided by the Library Director. The delegation of this responsibility to the Library Reference Assistant position uses the current resources to provide citizens with the level of services they require. The classification study of this reference position indicates the duties are comparable in level to those of the established class of Children's Librarian at Salary Grade 67. Thus the recommendation is to expand this class to include the reference position. To do this,the title would be changed from Children's Librarian to Librarian and that class specification would be changed to include the specific duties,responsibilities and minimum education and experience requirements for the reference position. Upon approval of this recommended change,the position currently assigned to the Children's Librarian class will be reassigned to the new class title of Librarian at the same salary grade,and the vacant Library Reference Assistant position presently at Salary Grade 62 will be reclassified to Librarian at Salary Grade 67. 2. Library Assistant Director The Personnel Department has completed a classification review of the Assistant to the Library Director position in the Orange County Library. The Library Director requested this review because the duties and responsibilities of the position are different than those recognized when it became a County position in March 1993. Key changes in the Assistant to the Library Director position include: - The Library Director has delegated the overall day-today library operation responsibility to this position. The Library Director has also delegated responsibility for supervising four positions in the library to this position. - The Assistant to the Library Director position is no longer responsible for the genera/secretarial duties supporting the Library Director such as routine correspondence,budget maintenance,Board meeting minutes,billinglaccounting functions,staff time records and other reporting responsibilities. These clerical/ secretarial functions have been reassigned to the Administrative Assistant position in the Library. The classification study of this position indicates that the level of responsibility is comparable to other positions at Salary Grade 69. The Assistant to the Library Director class specification has been revised to reflect the current duties and responsibilities and the minimum education and experience requirements and also includes a class title change to Library Assistant Director. Based on these comparisons and the changes in duties it is recommended that the class of Assistant to the Library Director at Salary Grade 67 be changed to Library Assistant Director at Salary Grade 69. This appropriately places the position two salary grades higher than the professional librarian positions who do not have these supervisory and overall operational responsibilities. Upon approval of this recommended change,the position currently assigned to the Assistant to the Library Director class at Salary Grade 67 will be reclassified and assigned to the new class title of Library Assistant Director at Salary Grade 69.
