As Amended: 07/22/19
City Clerk’s Office Item # R-8
BACKGROUND PAPER FOR PROPOSED
ORDINANCE
COUNCIL MEETING DATE:
June 24, 2019
TO: President Dennis E. Flores and Members of City Council
VIA: Brenda Armijo, City Clerk
FROM: Marisa Pacheco – Human Resources Director
Brenda Armijo – City Clerk
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 LICENSING COORDINATOR
SUMMARY:
Attached for consideration is an amended Pay Plan Ordinance that reflects the addition of the pay
rate and salary schedule for the Licensing Coordinator.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
In December 2018, City Council approved the annual Salary Ordinance for the 2019 fiscal year.
BACKGROUND:
The City Clerk’s Office requests to add the salary schedule for the newly created classification of
Licensing Coordinator to the 2019 classification and pay plan. The new classification is required
in the City Clerk’s Office due to an urgent need for a position that can perform critical licensing
and compliance functions associated with medical and retail marijuana applications in a full-time
capacity. This position will also serve as primary back-up for liquor licensing as well as performing
other complex administrative functions. The workload associated with these activities has
increased along with changing regulations monitoring and compliance activities which
necessitates a full-time position. The duties are currently being performed by a temporary
employee on a part-time basis.
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 Mayor and
submitted to City Council.
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 will be approximately $43,000. Salary and
benefits for this new position will total approximately $70,000 annually.
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 new classification, which will be
part of the bargaining unit. A subsequent meeting was held with PAGE union leadership and
agreement was reached on July 12, 2019
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 is operationally untenable.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval of the Ordinance.
