~.ity of iver TO: FROM: DATE: MEMORANDUM Mayor & City Council Lori Johnson, Asst. City Administrator May 13, 1996 SUBJECT: Retaining Intern In March Lea Aune started her internship with the city. As you may recall, the Council approved 20 hours of pay per week at $4.35. Lea has actually been working an additional 12 hours of unpaid time each week. In the nine weeks she has been here, Lea has worked on a variety of different projects mainly for the finance department, but she has also worked on a planning project and has helped significantly with the Safety Committee. Lea took the initiative to draft the AWAIR and ERTK policies for the Safety Committee's review. All of the committee members have been very pleased with the amount she accomplished and the quality of the product. Lea's internship is scheduled to end on Thursday, May 16. Because of the high quality and efficiency of Lea's work, I am requesting authorization to retain Lea to complete some of the projects she will not have time to finish by Thursday. The main concern is that Lea have time to complete the policies she has drafted for the Safety Committee. Without her assistance, the subcommittee chairs would not have draft documents ready for review. The committee members felt strongly that if Lea was retained to focus on the safety policies, they would be completed ahead of schedule without demanding the huge amounts of committee member time needed to put together the policies, time they may not have available to dedicate to this project. Lea would also organize Safety Policy manuals for each department as part of this project. Action Requested The City Council is asked to consider retaining Lea Aune on a temporary, as needed basis at $5.00 per hour to complete the Safety Committee projects. It is anticipated that approximately 80-120 hours (at the very most) will be needed. 13065 Orono Parkway · P.O. Box 490 · Elk River, MN 55330 · (612) 441-7420 · Fax: (612) 441-7425
