SUBJECT: AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 6-5-16 OF CHAPTER 5, OF
TITLE VI OF THE PUEBLO MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO THE FY
2024 CLASSIFICATION AND PAY PLAN BY AMENDING THE PAY
SCALE FOR TAX COMPLIANCE TECHNICIAN
SUMMARY:
Attached for consideration is an amended Pay Plan Ordinance reflecting the
amendment of the salary schedule for the classification of Tax Compliance Technician.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
On December 11, 2023, Ordinance No.10614 was approved by City Council. This
Ordinance provided the classification and pay plan for fiscal year 2024.
BACKGROUND:
Over the last several years, the City and the Pueblo Association of Government
Employees (PAGE) have been working to amend certain salary scales to address
internal equity issues and take steps toward better market competitiveness.
In the most recent annual salary ordinance for 2024, eight classification pay ranges
were adjusted by agreement. At the time, both the City and the PAGE union missed the
adjustment of one classification in relationship to another classification subject to
adjustment. With the adjustment of Accounting Technician IV salary range the
promotional relationship between the Accounting Technician IV and Tax Compliance
Technician was inadvertently eliminated and the Tax Compliance Technician is now
paid less than the Accounting Technician IV which is misaligned.
This ordinance seeks to correct the oversight and restore the promotional relationship
between the two classifications that previously existed. The range change restores the
same percentage difference between each salary scale step of Accounting Technician
IV and Tax Compliance Technician classifications that has existed historically.
This change in salary schedule will apply to two positions within the Finance
Department, only one of which is currently filled with the other anticipated to be posted
for recruitment in the next few weeks.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
The cost to amend the salary scale for the remainder of 2024 is $2,782.77. Total
annualized cost for the changes is estimated to be $4,770.46 for the current
incumbent.
No additional funding is required for 2024 to accomplish this salary amendment as the
budget.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
None.
STAKEHOLDER PROCESS:
The Pueblo Association of Government Employees brought the concern to the City and
after internal discussions the union has agreed to and is supportive of this correction
which is memorialized in a Meet and Confer document executed April 18, 2024.
ALTERNATIVES:
Retain the current 2024 Tax Compliance Technician salary schedule with no changes.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval of the Ordinance.
ATTACHMENTS:
None
