SUBJECT: AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE FISCAL YEAR 2015 STAFFING
ORDINANCE BY RECLASSIFICATION OF A POSITION WITHIN THE PARKS
AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT
SUMMARY:
The Department of Parks and Recreation requests to adjust its staffing by reclassifying the
Clerk Typist/Parks and Recreation Technician position to a Senior Clerk Typist.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
On December 22, 2014, Ordinance No. 8811 was approved by City Council. This Ordinance
provided authorized staffing for Fiscal Year 2015.
BACKGROUND:
The Parks and Recreation Department requests to adjust its staffing by reclassifying the Clerk
Typist/Parks and Recreation Technician position to a Senior Clerk Typist. The Human
Resources Department performed a reclassification review of the Clerk Typist/Parks and
Recreation Technician position. The reclassification review found that the Clerk Typist/Parks
and Recreation Technician position in the Parks and Recreation Department, performs job
duties that are higher level than those described in the corresponding job description; and it was
recommended that the scope and level of responsibility are in line with and are more adequately
represented by the Senior Clerk Typist job classification. The result of this action will be no net
increase in staffing.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
Funding for the reclassified position of Senior Clerk Typist will come from the general fund. The
difference in salary for the remainder of 2015 is approximately $3,078.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
The President of the Pueblo Association of Government Employees (PAGE) has signed the
meet and confer agreement and executed a Memorandum of Understanding concerning this
reclassification. The union is supportive of this classification change.
STAKEHOLDER PROCESS:
City Administration and members of the executive board of the Pueblo Association of
Government Employees (PAGE) met on November 13, 2014 to discuss the proposal which was
met with support from the union.
ALTERNATIVES:
The no action alternative would be to retain the current classification assignment, necessitating
reassignment of higher level duties to other staff members within the Department. Such an
alternative which would be operationally difficult as the higher-level responsibilities of this
position are significant, especially during the heavy seasonal and temporary hiring months.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval of the Ordinance.
