SUBJECT: AN ORDINANCE RELATING TO AND AMENDING THE FISCAL YEAR 2019
STAFFING ORDINANCE BY ADDING A POSITION WITHIN THE CITY
CLERK’S OFFICE
SUMMARY:
The City Clerk’s Office requests to adjust its staffing by adding an additional position with the
new title of Licensing Coordinator.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
On December 10, 2018, City Council Approved Ordinance No. 9387. This Ordinance provided
authorized staffing for Fiscal Year 2019.
BACKGROUND:
The City Clerk’s Office requests to increase its staffing by adding a full-time Licensing Coordinator
classification and related position. The City Clerk’s Office has demonstrated an urgent need for a
full-time position that can perform licensing functions associated with medical and retail marijuana
applications. The workload associated with these activities has increased along with changing
regulations and compliance activities which necessitates a full-time position. The duties are
currently being performed by a temporary employee on a part-time basis. The primary function
of the Licensing Coordinator will be to provide day-to-day activities of the City’s medical and retail
marijuana licensing processes but will also provide complex administrative support to the Deputy
City Clerk and City Clerk in other licensing functions of the office. The Licensing Coordinator will
fulfill a critical need of the City Clerk’s office and will facilitate a more efficient, effective and stable
operation.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
Funding for the position of Licensing Coordinator will come from the general fund. While approval
of this Ordinance will result in an additional position to the authorized staffing, it is anticipated
that 100% of the cost will be paid for by salary savings that have already occurred as a result of
the vacant City Clerk position throughout 2019, as well as the remaining balance of the temporary
employee budget. The anticipated annual salary for the position will be around $43,000 and
benefits for this new position will bring the total annual cost of salary and benefits to $70,000.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
None.
STAKEHOLDER PROCESS:
City Administration and members of the executive board of the Pueblo Association of Government
Employees (PAGE) will meet on June 27, 2019 to discuss the proposal. A subsequent meeting
was held with PAGE union leadership and agreement was reached on July 12, 2019
ALTERNATIVES:
The no action alternative for the new Licensing Coordinator would be to continue assignment of
duties to a temporary staff member with the qualifications to perform the work. Such an
alternative would be operationally undesirable and will compromise efficiency and continuity of
operations
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval of the Ordinance.
