AGENDA STATEMENT
CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: July 23, 1990
SUBJECT: Establishment of "Intern" Position (Prepared by Lou Ann
Riera-Texeira, Assistant to the City Manager)
EXHIBITS: 1. Resolution Amending the Classification Plan
2. Resolution Amending the Salary Plan for Part-Time
Personnel
RECOMMENDATION: opt Resolutions
FINANCIAL YL
STATEMENT: Recommended salary range - $5.00 - $10.00 per hour.
Adequate funds have been included in the Fiscal Year
1990-91 budget to fund various Intern positions (i.e. ,
Building & Safety, Engineering and Planning) .
DESCRIPTION: The City's Personnel System is governed by several documents
including a Classification Plan and Salary Plans. The Classification Plan
designates job titles, responsibilities and qualifications for each full-time
and part-time City position. The Salary Plans prescribe specific salary ranges
for these positions.
The current Classification Plan and the Salary Plan for Part-Time Personnel
include job descriptions and salary ranges for three intern positions (i.e. ,
Engineering Intern, Planning Intern and Recreation Intern).
During the 1990-91 Budget Hearings, the City Council approved the addition of
another intern position: Building & Safety Intern. The job requirements for
the new Building & Safety Intern position are similar to those of the other
City intern positions, which include:
- Assisting with various studies and reports
- Preparing written correspondence (i.e. , letters, memos, reports)
- Communicating effectively both verbally and in writing
- Performing non-professional assignments and general office work typical of
an intern/trainee position
- Ability to complete assignments in a timely manner
- Upper Division college course work
- Possession of a valid California Driver's License
Rather than creating another classification for the new Building & Safety
Intern position, staff recommends creating a general "Intern" classification to
encompass all of the City's intern classifications.
With regard to the salary ranges for the various intern positions, all of the
salary ranges are currently $5.00 - $10.00 per hour. Therefore, it is
recommended that the salary range for the new "Intern" classification remain at
$5.00 - $10.00 per hour.
Accordingly, staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached
Resolutions which amend both the Classification Plan and the Salary Plan for
Part-Time Personnel. The proposed resolutions will replace the existing
classifications and salary ranges (i.e. , Engineering Intern, Planning Intern
and Recreation Intern) with the new "Intern" job description and salary range.
