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 DIRECTOR/JUST TRANSITIONS PROGRAM
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 Director/Just Transitions
Program.
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:
In anticipation of the closure of the Xcel Energy Comanche 3 plant, the Colorado State
of Just Transitions has created an action plan which includes the Mayor’s establishment
of the Pueblo Just Transitions Steering Committee and has authorized and dedicated
funding to hire a full-time, senior management level position to support these efforts per
C.R.S 8-83-501 through 8-83-505. The position of Director/Just Transitions Program
will be an exempt, unclassified director level position with the City of Pueblo. Funding
for the position is anticipated to last for approximately three years and will be fully paid
by the Colorado State Office of Just Transitions. At the conclusion of the funding, it is
anticipated that the position will be abolished.
The Director/Just Transitions Program will lead the Pueblo Just Transitions Steering
Committee providing strategic planning, complex financial forecasting, tracking, and
reporting to include revenue and expenditure projections, crucial community outreach to
affected groups to include displaced workers and working on securing new employment
with family-sustaining income. Critical duties of the Director will include securing and
maximizing private capital from local, state, and federal investors and coordinating with
key stakeholders at the State of Colorado, within the Xcel Energy administration and
local economic development groups to align strategies towards navigating the
substantial economic challenges that the plant closure will bring to the community.
Leading collaborative efforts with community and neighborhood groups, boards and
committees on a city-wide scale will be an important component of the position, with an
emphasis on community engagement, diversity, inclusion, and equity.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
All costs associated with this proposal will be paid out of funding received through the
Colorado State Office of Just Transitions fund, with an estimated annual cost of
$116,842 associated with the new position:
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
None.
STAKEHOLDER PROCESS:
None.
ALTERNATIVES:
Not approving the pay scale for the position of Director/Just Transitions Program would
not allow the City to hire for this critical role to support the action plan approved by the
State Office of Just Transitions to support the Pueblo community with the anticipated
closure of the Xcel Energy Comanche 3 plant.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval of the Ordinance.
ATTACHMENTS:
None
