BACKGROUND PAPER FOR PROPOSED
ORDINANCE
COUNCIL MEETING DATE:
January 14, 2019
TO: President Christopher A. Nicoll and Members of City Council
CC: Sam Azad, City Manager
VIA: Brenda Armijo, Acting City Clerk
FROM: Marisa Pacheco – Human Resources Director
SUBJECT: AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 6-5-16 OF CHAPTER 5, OF TITLE VI
OF THE PUEBLO MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO THE FY 2019
CLASSIFICATION AND PAY PLAN BY ESTABLISHING THE PAY SCALE FOR
THE HR COMPLIANCE SPECIALIST
SUMMARY:
Attached for consideration is an amended Pay Plan Ordinance that reflects the addition of the pay
rate and salary schedule for the HR Compliance Specialist position.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
In December 2018, City Council approved the annual Salary Ordinance for the 2019 fiscal year.
BACKGROUND:
The Human Resources Department requests to adjust its staffing by reclassifying the Office
Assistant/HR Records Technician to a newly created classification, HR Compliance Specialist.
The Human Resources Department performed a reclassification review of the Office Assistant/HR
Records Technician position. The reclassification review found that the Office Assistant/HR
Records 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 HR Compliance Specialist was already accounted for in
the 2019 budget as approved by City Council as the reclassification review was already underway
during budget development. Therefore, no new funding is required in 2019.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
None.
STAKEHOLDER PROCESS:
City Administration and members of the executive board of the Pueblo Association of Government
Employees (PAGE) met on January 3, 2019 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
.
