SUBJECT: AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 6-5-16 OF CHAPTER 5, OF TITLE VI OF THE
PUEBLO MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO THE FY 2017 CLASSIFICATION AND PAY
PLAN BY ESTABLISHING THE PAY SCALE FOR THE WASTEWATER DATA
TECHNICIAN II
SUMMARY:
Attached for consideration is an amended Pay Plan Ordinance that reflects the addition of the pay rate and
salary schedule for the Wastewater Data Technician II position.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
In December 2016, City Council approved the annual Salary Ordinance for the 2017 fiscal year.
BACKGROUND:
The Wastewater Department requests to adjust its staffing by reclassifying the Wastewater Data Technician
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, 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 more adequately represented by a new job classification and pay scale. As submitted,
approval of this Ordinance establishes the pay scale as recommended by the Human Resources
Department.
Section 8-8 of the City Charter requires the Human Resources Director to provide a Uniform Schedule of
Pay for the Classified Service, which shall be approved by the City Manager and submitted to City Council.
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.
