I i I I i I I I I$ I I I I I I I I I PC CASE # ~.~ AUTHORIZE HIRING OF TEMPORARY ADMINISTRATIVE INTERN Rhonda Heryla, Human Resources Manager .Background: With the resignation of Klm Moore-Sykes, staff immediately began a process to hire a new Assistant City Administrator. Although it is anticipated that interviews will be held towards the end of November, it is probable that a newly hired Assistant City Administrator will not be able to begin work until after the first of the year. In the meantime, projects and commitments are falling behind. A similar situation existed the latter part of 1999 when the City was hiring a new Assistant City Administrator/Human Resource Manager and former City Administrator Ed Schukle was contracted to perform special projects. Staff would like to bring in a graduate level intern for two to three months to continue working on special projects. Like the Community Development intern fi.om the past summer, the wage would be $12.00 per hour. In the absence of an Assistant City Administrator, there is money in the budget to support an intern. In order to fill the position quickly, staff would review resumes and conduct interviews until the position is filled. Staff Recommendation: Staff is recommending that the Council authorize staff to interview and hire an Administrative Intern at a wage of $12.00 per hour for a period of two to three months to bridge the transition between Assistant City Administrators. Committee Action: Staff is recommending that the Council authorize staff to interview and hire an Administrative Intern at a wage of $12.00 per hour for a period of two to three months to bridge the transition between Assistant City Administrators.
