SUPPLEMENTAL SPECIAL MEETING (5:00 PM)

Recreation volunteers work in sports and aquatics as lifeguards and coaches. Overall, volunteers provide the equivalent of 13 FTE (full-time equivalent) employees. Volunteers are used strategically to support staff in providing excellent programs and services, but professional staff are still needed in each area. For example, paid staff are required to manage library account processes and the materials check-in and check-out for community members using an Integrated Library System (ILS) software that contains privacy -protected information about library cardholders, including their personal data and library records of their borrowing history and fees paid. Library records are protected under California State law and may only be accessed by library staff to perform their job duties. In addition, librarians plan programs such as storytimes, literacy/ESL services, and PUSD collaborative programs using structural frameworks that they receive during their Master's degree programs and/or on-the-job training over an equivalent number of years in libraries. Police Deaartment The Police Department's Volunteers in Police Services (VIPS) program was established in 2001 and currently has 20 volunteers. The VIPS support the goals and objectives of the department by developing a partnership between the department and the Pleasanton community. This partnership increases awareness in the community and helps to reduce crime and improve the quality of life. Since 2002, VIPS have volunteered more than 105,000 hours. Currently, the department has 14 patrol volunteers, 4 administrative volunteers, a sketch artist and a police chaplain. While these are all non -sworn positions, VIPS receive initial and on-going training relative to their assignments. The typical duties of a patrol volunteer include vacation checks, traffic control, crime scene logs and scene security, animal calls, special events (such as downtown events, cone with a cop, national night out), parking enforcement, wildlife transport and shopping cart abatement. Administrative volunteers perform a wide variety of duties such as financial data entry for our business services unit, filing, assisting the records unit by performing data entry for citations, airport runs, supporting the Citizen's Academy, Live scan and special projects. Livermore -Pleasanton Fire Department (LPFD) The LPFD relies heavily on volunteers to deliver routine internal and external services and provide preparedness and resiliency in response to a large-scale emergency/disaster. The LPFD volunteer roster fluctuates but typically there are around 100 volunteers. These include the Community Emergency Response Team (CERT), Reserve Firefighters, Firefighting Explorer Scouts, administrative volunteers, and fire science college volunteers. Thousands of hours are donated annually. Without volunteers, many services that the LPFD provides would either come at significant cost or be impossible; one example is the annual Fire Safety Expo, which is staffed mostly by volunteers. 2 of 5
