INTRODUCED: January 24, 2011 BY: Larry Atencio PASSED AND APROVED: February 14, 2011 Background Paper for Proposed ORDINANCE DATE: January 24, 2011 AGENDA ITEM # R-2 DEPARTMENTS: Jerry Pacheco, City Manager Marisa Walker, Director of Human Resources Christopher Riley, Fire Chief Creighton Wright, Parks & Recreation Director Earl Wilkinson, Public Works Director TITLE AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE FISCAL YEAR 2011 STAFFING ORDINANCE REVISING POSITIONS WITHIN THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, HONOR FARM PROPERTIES ENTERPRISE, PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT AND PARKS & RECREATION DEPARTMENT ISSUE Should City Council pass and approve the proposed Ordinance? The Staffing Ordinance provides for the allocation of positions by various departments for the Fiscal Year. RECOMMENDATION Approval of the ordinance. BACKGROUND The Fire Department requests to adjust its staffing to hire a front office clerical position at either the Clerk Typist or Fire Support Technician level. This will allow more employees the opportunity to apply for a lateral transfer or voluntary demotion into the Fire Department – no net increases in staffing. The Public Works Department requests to downgrade a Traffic Signs and Marking Specialist position to a Traffic Utility Worker II position to better serve the needs and functions of the department. The Parks and Recreation Department requests the following classification adjustments: 1. Change the vacant .75 FTE Clerk Typist/ Parks & Recreation Technician position to 1.0 FTE Program Coordinator - Marketing. 2. Change the vacant Park Caretaker II – Trees to a Program Coordinator – Forestry. This position will be responsible for the development and implementation of the City’s Urban Forestry Program. 3. Change the vacant Park Caretaker, Senior classification’s job specification increasing the responsibility and accountability for field coordination for a crew of parks staff. 4. Upgrade one vacant Park Caretaker I position to a Park Caretaker, Senior. For efficient and effective field coordination two Park Caretaker, Senior positions are needed. The Honor Farm Properties Enterprise requests to establish a new classification for the Motorsports Operations Supervisor position. The role and responsibility of Motorsports Operations Supervisor will be similar and comparable to that of the Parks Supervisor and Recreation Supervisor positions. With expected developments at Pueblo Motorsports Park including offering in-house programs for lapping, drag racing, off-highway vehicle, concessions, and a need to increase marketing and sponsorship, a second fulltime position is necessary to manage the motorsports operation. Additionally, it is expected that improvements to the race track will result in increased attendance at events. This position is contrasted from the manager in that the manager will have oversight and responsibility for the budget, enterprise, Honor Farm property, and several contracted programs and facilities. The supervisor will be responsible for hands-on management and operation of all in-house operated motorsports activities including the race track. FINANCIAL IMPACT Fire Department’s financial impact is an estimated annual salary expense increase of $2,200. Public Works Department’s financial impact is an annual salary savings of $13,980.72. Parks and Recreation Department’s financial impact for its requested items can and will be absorbed through existing fiscal capacity within the Parks and Recreation Department through salary savings from vacant positions and delayed hiring of re-classified positions. Honor Farm Properties Enterprise’s financial impact with the creation of the Motorsports Operations Supervisor is that approximately $52,000 of the $75,000 expected salary and benefits will be absorbed in the Honor Farm Enterprise Fund by reducing the temporary staff currently completing these responsibilities. The remaining $23,000 is expected to be made up through increased revenues from concessions, increased participation and offering new programs in-house.
