TITLE
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE FISCAL YEAR 2012 STAFFING ORDINANCE BY
REALLOCATING POSITIONS WITHIN THE WASTEWATER DEPARTMENT
ISSUE
Should City Council revise position allocations in the Wastewater Department and
amend the FY 2012 Staffing Ordinance?
RECOMMENDATION
Approval of this Ordinance.
BACKGROUND
The Wastewater Department requests to adjust the staffing allocation in the Collection
Division and the Treatment Division. This proposal does not increase total staffing, but
instead reallocates previously authorized positions to different classifications within the
Wastewater Department as follows:
Collection Division:
One (1) Wastewater Utility Worker IV position will be reallocated as a Utility
Worker/Wastewater Utility Worker I/II/III position.
Treatment Division:
One (1) Lab Analyst I position will be reallocated as a Lab Analyst position to
conform to existing classification titles.
One (1) Lab Analyst I position will be reallocated as a Lab Analyst II position.
One (1) WWTP Maintenance Mechanic position will be reallocated as a Utility
Worker/WRF Worker I/WRF Worker II position.
One (1) WWTP Maintenance Mechanic position will be reallocated as a Senior
WWTP Maintenance Mechanic position.
The Chief WWTP Operator classification will be renamed as Wastewater
Operator A. The purpose of this title change is to mitigate historical difficulties in
recruiting wastewater operators with Class A certifications. The “Chief”
nomenclature historically used in Pueblo denotes supervisory positions in other
Colorado cities, making the salary appear very low and thereby discouraging
applicants. This is a name change only, without modification of the duties of the
classification.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The financial impact to the Wastewater Department’s FY 2012 budget is an estimated
annual salary decrease of approximately $10,727. Funds for salaries and benefits are
from the Sewer User Fund.
