Request for approval of two temporary positions to assist with the summer season effective May 18, 2024.
end
Background and Discussion:
The County Library seeks authorization to establish temporary Library Technician II positions within HCPL to efficiently employ individuals during the summer season. This measure aims to optimize cost-effectiveness by directly compensating temporary personnel through the county rather than engaging a temporary agency.
Expected Impact:
Creating temporary positions within Harris County for summer employment at the library is anticipated to yield significant cost savings through a reduction in temporary agency expenses. By directly compensating temporary personnel through the county instead of utilizing a temporary agency, the library expects to realize increased efficiency and cost savings. The funding for the temporary positions will be drawn from Gift Funds (Fund 2203).
Alternative Options:
Continue using temporary agency personnel at increased cost.
