SUBJECT: AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 2-1-1 OF TITLE II OF
CHAPTER 1 OF THE PUEBLO MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO THE
MONTHLY COMPENSATION OF ELECTED MEMBERS OF THE CIVIL
SERVICE COMMISSION
SUMMARY:
Attached is a proposed Ordinance increasing the monthly compensation of the elected
members of the Civil Service Commission from $225 to $450.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
The monthly compensation of the elected members of the Civil Service Commission
was last adjusted pursuant to Ordinance No. 6314, passed on May 11, 1998 and made
effective January 1, 1999.
BACKGROUND:
The proposed Ordinance increases the monthly compensation of the elected members
of the Civil Service Commission from $225 to $450 effective January 1, 2023. Such
increase will cost $8,100. The reason and basis for such request include the following:
(a) The monthly compensation of $225.00 was set in 1999 and has not been
charged over the last 23 years.
(b) To better serve the City and specifically to reduce the period of time
associated with certification of eligible lists, the Civil Service Commission has changed
its regular meetings from monthly to bimonthly.
(c) Reasonable monthly compensation is a relevant consideration in attracting
and retaining qualified candidates for the office of Civil Service Commissioner.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
The increase in the monthly compensation proposed by this ordinance will cost $8,100.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
The Civil Service Commission is in favor of the proposed Ordinance for the reasons
above set forth.
STAKEHOLDER PROCESS:
Not applicable to this Ordinance.
ALTERNATIVES:
City Council could elect not to pass the Ordinance and the monthly compensation
would remain unchanged.
RECOMMENDATION:
The Civil Service Commission recommends passage and approval of the proposed
Ordinance.
