TITLE
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 16 OF CHAPTER 5 OF TITLE VI AND THE
FISCAL YEAR 2008 STAFFING ORDINANCE AND RELATING TO THE LANDSCAPE
ARCHITECT AND PLANNER POSITIONS, ESTABLISHING A PAY RANGE FOR THE
LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT AND ABOLISHING 2 SR PLANNER POSITIONS WITHIN THE

ISSUE
The Salary Ordinance and Staffing Ordinance must be amended to reflect the positions of
Landscape Architect and Planner.
The Planning & Community Development Director and the Acting Human Resources
Director recommend that this ordinance be approved.
In 2007, the Colorado Legislature enacted the Landscape Architects Professional Licensing
Act (the "Act'). This Act specifies that on and after January 1, 2008, a person shall not
practice landscape architecture or represent himself as a landscape architect unless the
person has a license issued by the State Board of Landscape Architects. Currently, Senior
Planners have been performing landscape architectural services. The department believes
that the City should have a designated Landscape Architect position requiring a Colorado
license. With such an addition, one Senior Planner position will become obsolete. The
department also has a separate vacancy for a Senior Planner position and due to the fact
that the City has had a difficult time filling upper level planner positions, the department
proposes to lower the position to an entry level Planner.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
These modifications will result in a salary savings of approximately $16,183 over the next
year.
