SUBJECT: AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE FISCAL YEAR 2015 STAFFING
ORDINANCE BY RECLASSIFICATION OF A POSITION WITHIN THE
PLANNING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT
SUMMARY:
The Department of Planning and Community Development requests to adjust its staffing by
reclassifying the Landscape Architect position to a Capital Projects Manager.
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 Planning and Community Development Department requests to adjust its staffing by
reclassifying the Landscape Architect position to a Capital Projects Manager. The Human
Resources Department performed a reclassification review of the Landscape Architect. The
reclassification review found that the Landscape Architect position in the Planning and
Community Development 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 new job
classification of Capital Projects Manager. The result of this action will be no net increase in
staffing.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
Funding for the reclassified position of Capital Projects Manager will come from the general
fund. The difference in salary for the remainder of 2015 is approximately $2,642.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
None.
STAKEHOLDER PROCESS:
City Administration and members of the executive board of the Pueblo Association of
Government Employees (PAGE) met and conferred on this reclassification on January 22,
2015. The union acknowledged that the position is a management position and does not fall
within the general services bargaining unit.
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 Planning and Community
Development or Public Works Departments.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval of the Ordinance.
