SUBJECT: AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE FISCAL YEAR 2017 STAFFING
ORDINANCE BY RECLASSIFICATION OF A POSITION WITHIN THE
WASTEWATER DEPARTMENT
SUMMARY:
The Wastewater Department requests to adjust its staffing by reclassifying the Wastewater Data
Technician position to a Wastewater Data Technician II.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
On December 27, 2017, Ordinance No. 9079 was approved by City Council. This Ordinance
provided authorized staffing for Fiscal Year 2017.
BACKGROUND:
The Wastewater Department requests to adjust its staffing by reclassifying the Wastewater Data
Technician position to a newly created classification, Wastewater Data Technician II. The
Human Resources Department performed a reclassification review of the Wastewater Data
Technician position. The reclassification review found that the Wastewater Data Technician
position in the Wastewater 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 a new job
classification. The result of this action will be no net increase in staffing.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
Funding for the reclassified position of Wastewater Data Technician II will come from the Sewer
User Fund. The difference in salary for the remainder of 2017 is approximately $5,266.
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 February 23, 2017 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.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval of the Ordinance.
