BACKGROUND PAPER FOR PROPOSED
ORDINANCE

CC: Sam Azad, City Manager
VIA: Gina Dutcher, City Clerk
FROM: Marisa Pacheco – Human Resources Director
SUBJECT: AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 5 OF TITLE VI OF THE PUEBLO
MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO COMPENSATION OF UNCLASSIFIED
PART-TIME EMPLOYEES (2016)
SUMMARY:
This Ordinance amends the 2016 pay plan to reflect a pay range instead of a wage schedule
and increases the minimum wage for unclassified part-time employees per Federal minimum
wage guidelines and Colorado Minimum Wage Order Number 32.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
On January 12, 2015, Ordinance No. 8833 was approved by City Council. This Ordinance
provided the pay plan for unclassified part-time employees for fiscal year 2015.
BACKGROUND:
Section 6-5-18 sets forth the rate of pay of unclassified part-time employees of the City and is
updated to reflect the change in pay rate for 2016. Pursuant to federal law, the City of Pueblo
follows Federal minimum wage guidelines and/or the State of Colorado minimum wage,
whichever is greater. The Colorado Minimum Wage increased from $8.23 per hour to $8.31 per
hour effective January 1, 2016.
In addition, the Ordinance replaces the antiquated and oftentimes impractical wage schedule for
a pay range with entrance rates set by recruitment related factors.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
Funding for authorized temporary and part-time positions has been appropriated with the
approval of the 2016 Budget Ordinance.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
N/A
STAKEHOLDER PROCESS:
N/A
ALTERNATIVES:
There are no alternatives to this Ordinance. Section 8-8 of the City Charter requires that the
Personnel (Human Resources) Director provide a uniformed schedule of pay approved by the
City Manager and City Council and must comply with applicable minimum wage laws. The
uniformed schedule of pay must be posted for all current and future employees to view and is a
public record.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval of the Ordinance.
