Councilmember Heinrich asked when the City first started hiring interns to fulfill the six job duties listed for this position. Parks and Assistant Public Works Superintendent Riverblood provided additional background information, stating that the City has used interns for many aspects for many years. He noted that in 2014, the goal was to create a diverse and robust system of recreation offerings for the community and an intern was hired to develop that program. He provided background information on how that process evolved to up to three interns, noting that it became inefficient because of the training needed and the repeat of that with each intern that was hired for the season. He stated that staff intends to bring back an opportunity to discuss recreation programming with the Council at a worksession in March. City Council/January 8,2019 Page 6 of 10
