To: Agency Heads and Employees
From: Kathy Nesbitt, Executive Director of the Office of Human Resources
Date: October 7, 2022
Subject: Proposed Change to the Classification and Pay Plan
The proposed change amends the Classification and Pay Plan by creating four new classifications called Environmental Public Health Technician (I, II, III, and Supervisor) as well as changing the pay grade of Veterinary Technicians (Apprentice, Non-Certified, and Certified) and abolishing the Animal Care (Attendant and Supervisor) and Animal Shelter (Assistant and Administrative Support Supervisor) classifications.
The Denver Department of Public Health & Environment has requested a new class series to perform technical and administrative environmental and public health work within the department. This new series will allow a simpler career path, eliminate standalone classifications, provide management with flexibility in assigning work, and is aligned to market data. It is also recommended to adjust the pay grades of the Veterinary Technician series which have higher level duties and minimum qualifications than the proposed new classifications. Finally, it is recommended to abolish certain classifications used in the Denver Animal Protection division as they will be replaced with the new series.
