M Land Records Land Records temporary wages are used to provide support for the permanent employee who serves as addressing specialist, during the initial addressing transfer of responsibility form Emergency Management to Land Records, Library 1 The Library generally uses all temporary employees to work the circulation desk, including assisting with reference and librarian duties except for library pages, who shelve books and a courier who makes nuns to the Cedar Grove and Cybrary branches. For 2005 -06, the Library received an increase in the temporary wages for Cedar Grove to help staff the Cedar Grove library in addition to the .75 FTE Librarian that is assigned to this branch, which is open to the public for 35 hours per week. Personnel Temporary staff are used during peak workload periods such as open enrollment to help with a variety of support duties, (employee follow up, benefit change processing, follow up with benefit providers and so forth). Personnel also uses temporary staff to provide back up coverage for absence of a permanent employee or during periods a position is vacant. Planning Temporary employment in the Planning and Inspections Department has been primarily in two areas. One area involves college interns for planning research and task force studies. The other area includes administrative and clerical work to assist in peak record and map retention and building applications. Interns typically work 15 hours a week and are very productive because their responsibility is a profit -based work product. They're able to focus on specific research and bibliographic sources with minimal diversion for customer service. Temporary help for the Building Division is typically a 2 -3 week period once a year to assist the clerical staff in permit and plan organization, record retention and destruction in accordance with State law. Without the ability to hire interns for planning research, there is less opportunity for Planning Staff to provide statistical analysis of many requests from various advisory boards and elected bodies. In the Building Division, the normal workload involved in customer service both on the phone and at the front desk cannot easily be diverted to the concentrated record retention process. Therefore, customer service can be impacted.
