SUBJECT: AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE FISCAL YEAR 2022 STAFFING
ORDINANCE BY ADDING ONE (1) FULL-TIME POSITION ENTITLED
TRASH REMOVAL COORDINATOR TO THE AUTHORIZED STAFFING
OF THE PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT
SUMMARY:
The Mayor requests that one full-time position be added on a temporary basis in
support of the neighborhood clean up projects in Qualified Census Tracts (“QCT”s) of
the city as funded through the American Rescue Plan Act and U. S. Treasuring Final
Rule 31 CFR 35.6. This position will be responsible to coordinate the projects and
supervise the clean-up crew members hired on a part-time, temporary basis to clean up
designated areas.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
By Ordinance No. 9931, approved on May 17, 2021, the City Council established
Project No. CI2113 and budgeted and appropriated up to $36.7 million in funds which
were expected to be distributed to the City from the American Recovery Plan Act
(“ARPA”) for covered costs and eligible expenses to be incurred during the period
which began on March 3, 2021, until December 31, 2024 (to be expended by
December 31, 2026).
BACKGROUND:
The City of Pueblo desires to build a strong, healthy community by removing trash,
garbage and debris from neighborhoods located in QCTs in the city. The Trash
Removal Coordinator will be a classified, full-time, benefited position within the Pueblo
Association of Government Employees bargaining unit and subject to Civil Service rules
related to hiring and selection.
The new position of Trash Removal Coordinator will coordinate efforts associated with
the neighborhood cleanup projects and related events to include budget and resource
monitoring. This position will work with a great deal of independent authority and must
demonstrate substantial resourcefulness in the development and execution of creative
solutions with respect to operational issues in the field. The neighborhood cleanup
projects will require the hire of part-time, temporary staff members to accomplish the
objectives of the various projects. The full -time Trash Removal Coordinator will be
responsible for efficient staff and resource deployment and will supervise the part-time
cleanup crew members performing the assigned work at designated worksites
throughout the community.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
The anticipated cost of hiring one (1) full-time Trash Removal Coordinator to include
salary and benefits is approximately $80,655.18 on an annual basis. Funding for this
position will be paid out of Project CI2113 – American Rescue Plan.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
Not applicable to this Ordinance.
STAKEHOLDER PROCESS:
The Pueblo Association of Government Employees president was briefed on this new
position and the City’s intent for it to be a full-time position within the bargaining unit for
the duration of the ARPA funding associated with such position.
ALTERNATIVES:
City Council could decide not to authorize the creation of this new full-time staff
resource in support of the neighborhood cleanup projects.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval of the Ordinance.
