SUBJECT: AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE FISCAL YEAR 2020 STAFFING ORDINANCE
BY RECLASSIFICATION OF A POSITION WITHIN THE POLICE DEPARTMENT
SUMMARY:
The Police Department requests to adjust its staffing by reclassifying one Police Services
Technician to PD Records Technician.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
On December 23, 2019, Ordinance No. 9620 was approved by City Council. This Ordinance
provided authorized staffing for Fiscal Year 2020.
BACKGROUND:
The Police Department requests to adjust its staffing by reclassifying one Police Services
Technician position to a PD Records Technician within the Support Services Division. The
Human Resources Department completed a reclassification review of the Police Services
Technician. The reclassification review found that the Police Services Technician, which is a
lower level, general administrative support position, without a specialized duties focus has
consistently performed job duties that are a higher level than those represented in the current
classification. Performance of the duties has been occurring for at least two years. Such duties
are identical to those of the PD Records Technician within the Records Division, where the
position recommended for reclassification was reassigned in 2018. The duties are consistent
with those being performed by other PD Records Technicians under the direct supervisor of the
Police Records Manager and are therefore best represented by the updated classification. The
result of this action will be no net increase in staffing.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
Funding for the reclassified position PD Records Technician will come from the General Fund.
The salary difference and new funding required is approximately $788.28 for remainder of 2020.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
None.
STAKEHOLDER PROCESS:
City Administration and members of the executive board of the Pueblo Association of Government
Employees (PAGE) have discussed this matter and the reclassification has been met without
objection.
ALTERNATIVES:
The no action alternative would be to retain the current classification assignments, necessitating
reassignment of specialized records duties which are higher-level to other staff members within
the Police Department. This is not operationally desirable.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval of the Ordinance.
