New KPL Department on Board Agenda

Later today, the Library Board packet will go out to board members and staff. Included in the packet is a proposed change to the organizational chart and pay grade schedule. 

A couple of important things to note:

1. The organizational chart now includes a Community Programs and Partnerships department that combines adult programs, library-wide events, and all marketing activities including web design, social media, and graphic design. The synergy of combining programs and marketing into one team is going to be very powerful- I am very excited to see the results. Everyone involved in adult programs before is welcome to continue participating! This is simply a regrouping of tasks. Brandi Cummings will be the Head of that new department. Under her leadership, I know the new department will thrive. 

2. Note that YFS programs will not be managed by the new department, but remain within the YFS Department where it continues to thrive!

3. We will fill the programs vacancy with two part time Programs and Events Specialists. If you love to design and deliver public programs, you are encouraged to apply!

4.  The Pay Grade Schedule DOES NOT reflect any results of the wage study. The schedule in the packet merely adds the new positions and deletes the old positions. We have not received a final report from our consultant. He will deliver his recommendations at the board meeting on Tuesday. At that point, it will be up to the board whether to act on his recommendations.
