BACKGROUND PAPER FOR PROPOSED

COUNCIL MEETING DATE: January 11, 2021
TO: President Dennis E. Flores and Members of City Council
CC: Mayor Nicholas A. Gradisar

FROM: Marisa Pacheco – Human Resources Director
SUBJECT: AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 6-5-16 (A) OF CHAPTER 5, OF TITLE
VI OF THE PUEBLO MUNICIPAL CODE AMENDING THE PAY SCALE FOR THE
WASTEWATER UTILITY WORKER IV AND WASTEWATER UTILITY WORKER
V CLASSIFICATIONS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2021
SUMMARY:
This Ordinance amends the pay plan for 2021 for the General Service classifications for the
Wastewater Utility Worker IV and Wastewater Utility Worker V. An error was made on the Salary
Ordinance presented to City Council for final approval on December 28, 2020 and this corrects
the errors in those two pay scales. The corrections should be effective January 1, 2021.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
On December 28, 2020, Ordinance No.9853 was approved by City Council. This Ordinance
provided the classification and pay plan for fiscal year 2021.
BACKGROUND:
Section 8-8 of the City Charter titled Pay Schedule requires that the Personnel (Human
Resources) Director provide a uniformed schedule of pay for the classified service, approved by
the Mayor, and submitted to City Council. The 2021 wages have determined by Collective
Bargaining Agreements between the City of Pueblo and the unions.
By agreement, the Pueblo Association of Government Employees (PAGE) agreed to a wage
adjustment for both the Wastewater Utility Worker IV and Wastewater Utility Worker V
classifications for 2021. The agreed upon wage scales were not accurately reflected in the 2021
Salary Ordinance. This Ordinance seeks to correct that oversight.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
There is no additional financial cost associated with this correction as the correct salary schedule
and costs associated with both classifications were accounted for in the 2021 Budget presented
and approved by City Council on November 23, 2020.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
Not Applicable.
STAKEHOLDER PROCESS:
The Pueblo Association of Government Employees is aware of and agreed to the salary scale
for both positions in 2021.
ALTERNATIVES:
There are no alternatives to this Ordinance. Section 8-8 of the City Charter requires that the
Personnel (Human Resources) Director provide a uniformed schedule of pay approved by the
Mayor and City Council. The uniformed schedule of pay must be posted for all current and future
City employees to view and is a public record.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval of the Ordinance.
