This will require an EDA budget <br /> amendment to transfer marketing funds to part-time pay under personal services to pay an EDA intern <br /> for the fall semester of 2013. After gaining preliminary consent, staff will seek formal approval for the <br /> transfer at the regular August EDA meeting. The intended pay scale is $12 per hour at 32 hours per week <br /> for a maximum of 16 weeks. <br /> If supported, staff intends to advertise for the position as soon as possible in order to complete the 2013 <br /> EDA marketing initiatives within the budget year. Staff hopes to have the intern in place by Monday, <br /> August 26, 2013. <br /> Financial Impact <br /> None. There will be no increase in the EDA budget and this does not affect the General Fund Budget. <br /> Budgeted funds can be made available in the EDA budget. <br /> Attachments <br /> • EDA Marketing Intern Job Description <br /> • EDA packet dated July 29, 2013 <br /> POWERED By <br /> AR <br />
