SUBJECT: AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE FISCAL YEAR 2018 STAFFING
ORDINANCE BY ABOLISHING AN EXISTING CLASSIFICATION AND
ESTABLISHING A NEW CLASSIFICATION WITHIN THE HOUSING AND
CITIZEN SERVICES DEPARTMENT
SUMMARY:
The Housing and Citizen Services Department requests to adjust its staffing by abolishing an
existing classification and adding a new classification.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
On December 26, 2017, Ordinance No. 9213 was approved by City Council. This Ordinance
provided authorized staffing for Fiscal Year 2018.
BACKGROUND:
The Housing and Citizen Services Department requests to adjust its staffing by abolishing the
Loan Coordinator II position and replacing it with a newly created classification, Community
Development Specialist.
The Loan Coordinator II position was vacated in January when the incumbent resigned. After
the resignation, the Department determined they needed a staff member to assist with the
project management and grant compliance requirements associated with the CDBG
(Community Development Block Grant) and the HOME (HOME Investment Partnership) grants.
Therefore, it was imperative to create a new job classification, Community Development
Specialist.
The exchange of job classifications will not increase staffing and will be cost neutral.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
Funding for the Loan Coordinator II position was included in the 2018 budget. The proposed
salary for the newly created position, Community Development Specialist, will be the same as
the Loan Coordinator II and therefore be cost neutral.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
The President of the Pueblo Association of Government Employees (PAGE) has signed the
meet and confer agreement on April 11, 2018. The union is supportive of this new
classification.
STAKEHOLDER PROCESS:
City Administration and members of the executive board of the Pueblo Association of
Government Employees (PAGE) met on April 11, 2018 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 to the project management and loan compliance duties to the Acting Director of
the Department. Such an alternative would be operationally difficult as the Acting Director is
already stepping up into a higher-level classification and is performing multiple additional duties.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval of the Ordinance.
