SUBJECT: AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 6-5-16 OF CHAPTER 5, OF
TITLE VI OF THE PUEBLO MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO THE FY
2023 CLASSIFICATION AND PAY PLAN BY ESTABLISHING THE PAY
SCALE FOR CIVIL ENGINEER WASTEWATER
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 Wastewater.
The position will be funded by the Wastewater Enterprise Fund.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
On December 27, 2022, Ordinance No.10365 was approved by the City Council. This
Ordinance provided the classification and pay plan for fiscal year 2023.
BACKGROUND:
The Wastewater Department requests to convert an existing, vacant Associate
Engineer II position within the Wastewater Engineering Division to a new classification
of Civil Engineer Wastewater. The department has been unsuccessful in filling the
Associate Engineer II position despite posting it four times since fall of 2022. The
vacancy has provided the opportunity to evaluate work assignments and to identify
opportunities to enhance efficiencies within the division. Wastewater is the only City
department with an engineering function without a journey level professional engineer
position. Therefore, the duties have been assigned to lower-level associate positions or
the Engineering Manager. The Engineering Manager performs many duties that a civil
engineer level position could perform. By creating this position , the Engineering
Manager can focus on higher level tasks and reassign appropriate professional level
responsibilities to the new classification. The salary range will be equal to other civil
engineer classifications in the City.
This position will be a classified position within the City and subject to all Civil Service
rules with respect to hiring and will be a Class B Administrative classification not within
a bargaining unit.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
The cost to convert the vacancy is the difference between the Associate Engineer II
and the Civil Engineer Wastewater position, estimated to be $2,377 per month
(includes salary related benefits), or $28,523 annually. Funding for this cost increase
will come from the Wastewater Enterprise Fund.
Assuming the position will be filled in July, the cost difference for the remainder of the
year is approximately $16,639 and can be absorbed by the department’s existing 2023
budget. No additional funding is required for 2023.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
None.
STAKEHOLDER PROCESS:
None
ALTERNATIVES:
The suggested change establishes the 2023 salary range for the classification of Civil
Engineer Wastewater. If this ordinance is not approved, no salary range will be
associated with the classification and the position cannot be filled.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval of this Ordinance.
ATTACHMENTS:
None
