Flores and Members of City Council CC: Sam Azad, City Manager VIA: Brenda Armijo, Acting City Clerk FROM: Marisa Pacheco – Human Resources Director Steven Meier – Parks and Recreation Director SUBJECT: AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE FISCAL YEAR 2019 STAFFING ORDINANCE BY RECLASSIFICATION OF A POSITION WITHIN THE PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT SUMMARY: The Parks and Recreation Department requests to adjust its staffing by reclassifying the Park Caretaker, Senior to a new classification of Parks Area Crew Leader. PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: On December 10, 2018, Ordinance No. 9387 was approved by City Council. This Ordinance provided authorized staffing for Fiscal Year 2019. BACKGROUND: The Parks and Recreation Department requests to adjust its staffing by reclassifying the Park Caretaker, Senior to a new classification of Parks Area Crew Leader. The Human Resources Department recently completed a reclassification review of the Park Caretaker, Senior position. The reclassification review found that the Park Caretaker, Senior has consistently performed job duties that are a higher level than those represented in the current classification and has done so for well over one year. Such duties are substantially similar to those of the existing Area Crew Leader classification in other areas of the City. The Human Resources Department was in the process of completing a reclassification review of this position during the 2019 budget process. Preliminary results of the review were shared with the City Manager during the budget process. The result of this action will be no net increase in staffing. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: Funding for the reclassified position of Parks Area Crew Leader will come from the General Fund and the difference was already accounted for in the 2019 budget as approved by 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 24, 2019 to discuss the proposal. ALTERNATIVES: The no action alternative would be to retain the current classification assignments, necessitating reassignment of higher-level duties to other staff members within the Parks and Recreation Department. Such an alternative which would be operationally difficult as the higher-level responsibilities of the positions are significant. RECOMMENDATION: Approval of the Ordinance.
