President of City Council ATTEST City Clerk City Clerk’s Office Item # S-12 BACKGROUND PAPER FOR PROPOSED ORDINANCE COUNCIL MEETING DATE: June 13, 2022 TO: President Heather M. Graham and Members of City Council CC: Mayor Nicholas A. Gradisar VIA: Marisa Stoller, City Clerk FROM: Andrew Hayes, Public Works Director Marisa Pacheco, Human Resources Director SUBJECT: AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 6-5-16 OF CHAPTER 5, OF TITLE VI OF THE PUEBLO MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO THE FY 2022 CLASSIFICATION AND PAY PLAN BY ESTABLISHING THE PAY SCALE FOR CIVIL ENGINEER TRANSPORTATION SUMMARY: Attached for consideration is an amended Pay Plan Ordinance that reflects the addition of the pay rate and salary schedule for the classification of Civil Engineer Transportation. PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: On December 28, 2021, Ordinance No.10092 was approved by City Council. This Ordinance provided the classification and pay plan for fiscal year 2022. BACKGROUND: A City objective is to enhance the efficiency with which the various elements of development review connected to commercial and residential development projects is accomplished. The City is experiencing a significant increase in the number of land use and development-related applications from developers and property owners. Many of these applications are complex and inter-related, making the application review process a significant challenge. In response, Mayor Gradisar has requested that several new positions be added to City staffing to support development activities. One of those positions is one Civil Engineer Transportation. The Civil Engineer-Transportation will provide direct support to the Traffic Engineer, reviewing applications for various land use and development activities; managing standards and specifications related to signals, signs, and striping for City projects; designing and developing scopes of work for City projects; analyzing traffic data and transportation studies; and performing other duties as assigned by the Traffic Engineer. The Civil Engineer-Transportation will be on a career path that leads to licensure as a Professional Engineer which is required within five years of the employee's hire date FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: Salary and benefit costs for the position will be paid out of the General Fund. Assuming the Civil Engineer Transportation position is approved, the timeline to fill through the Civil Service, selection and post-offer background processes would likely result in a hire date no sooner than August 2022. Therefore, the more realistic cost of the position would be approximately $53,312 in FY 2022. BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: None. STAKEHOLDER PROCESS: None. ALTERNATIVES: The no action alternative would be to retain current staffing levels and continue as is with respect to development activities within the City. As has been outlined, this is not operationally ideal for the departments involved given the surge in development related activities. The suggested changes represent a more efficient way to accomplish this important work for the community. RECOMMENDATION: Approval of the Ordinance.
