SUBJECT: AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE FISCAL YEAR 2017 STAFFING
ORDINANCE BY CHANGING THE TITLE OF A POSITION WITHIN THE SALES
TAX DIVISION OF THE FINANCE DEPARTMENT
SUMMARY:
The Finance Department requests to change the title of a position located within the Sales Tax
Division.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
On December 27, 2016, City Council approved Ordinance No. 9079. This Ordinance provided
authorized staffing for Fiscal Year 2017.
BACKGROUND:
The Finance Department requests to change a title of a position located in the Sales Tax
Division to assist with recruitment activities.
The position is currently referred to as a Compliance Audit Agent. Finance has tried several
times in the past few years to fill this vitally important tax collection position. Unfortunately,
recruitment efforts have been difficult. The current position title does not fully describe the tax
collection function and attracts candidates who believe they will spend a specific portion of their
work time doing audits.
By changing the position title to Tax Compliance Technician and highlighting that the employee
would work closely with business owners to collect City of Pueblo Sales Tax; it is our belief that
we would find candidates who understand the vital collection and customer service role required
of this position. This title is also more consistent with the titles used in other municipal
organizations for positions performing this type of work.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
The action noted above is cost neutral. Changing the title of a position will not cause a change
in the pay scale.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
None.
STAKEHOLDER PROCESS:
None.
ALTERNATIVES:
The no action alternative would be to retain the current job title.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval of the Ordinance.
