Nawrocki and Members of City Council CC: Sam Azad, City Manager VIA: Gina Dutcher, City Clerk FROM: Marisa Pacheco – Human Resources Director Luis Velez – Chief of Police SUBJECT: AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE FISCAL YEAR 2015 STAFFING ORDINANCE BY RENAMING THE CLASSIFICATIONS OF ZONING ENFORCEMENT OFFICER, POLICE SUPPORT TECHNICIAN I AND POLICE SUPPORT TECHNICIAN II WITHIN THE POLICE DEPARTMENT SUMMARY: The Police Department requests to adjust its staffing by changing the name of the Zoning Enforcement Officer, Police Support Technician I and Police Support Technician II classifications to Code Enforcement Officer and Lead Code Enforcement Officer respectively. 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: Approximately two years ago the Code Enforcement function for the City was reorganized. Specifically, the zoning enforcement responsibilities previously performed by staff within the Planning and Community Development Department were transferred to the Code Enforcement Division within the Pueblo Police Department. Since then, the division has streamlined the workload and this is the final step in the reorganization which is to standardize job titles of the staff. The Police Department requests to adjust its staffing by renaming the Zoning Enforcement Officer, Police Support Technician I to Code Enforcement Officer. The Police Support Technician II classification will be renamed Lead Code Enforcement Officer. This change would create consistency in the Police Department’s Code Enforcement Division by providing classification titles that clearly describe the duties that are being performed by the incumbents. Additionally, such titles are consistent with industry standards and can be found in the majority of local government agencies. The result of this action will be no net increase in staffing. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: There will be no financial impact related to this Ordinance. BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: None. STAKEHOLDER PROCESS: City Administration and members of the executive board of the Pueblo Association of Government Employees (PAGE) met on this topic on April 23, 2015. There was no opposition to this action. ALTERNATIVES: The no action alternative would be to retain the current classification names. However, the proposal in this Ordinance is the most viable option because the title change recognizes the need for consistency and clear description the duties that are being performed by the incumbents. RECOMMENDATION: Approval of the Ordinance.
