Subject: Approve Request to waive 900-hour limit for Extra-Help Library Assistant
Executive Summary: (include fiscal and staffing impact narrative):
The Library is requesting approval to exceed the 900 hour extra help limit for Heather McIntosh, Library Assistant.
Heather McIntosh has worked additional hours this fiscal year providing coverage at the library circulation desk in Lakeport and Upper Lake through a period of unusually high staff turnover and absences. A recent and abrupt staff departure has made this request urgently necessary.
