Council extends student internship; staff says lead service line inventory completed
Summary
Council approved a short internship extension (Dec. 22–Jan. 19) for an intern who staff said completed the city’s multi‑year lead service line inventory and assisted with digitizing records; staff proposed sharing pay with the utility board for some work.
Council approved extending the city’s internship program for an additional roughly four weeks—Dec. 22 through Jan. 19—to allow the intern to continue digitizing archived council minutes and complete other short projects. A staff presenter said the intern had helped complete the city’s lead service line inventory, a project worked on over several years, and that the work saved staff time and advanced an important compliance item.
The presenter outlined specific tasks for the extension, including digitizing council minutes to make records searchable and finalizing emergency contact lists for dissemination to police and fire departments. Council members supported the extension and discussed potential cost‑sharing for the intern’s pay with the utility board for work done on utility projects.
A motion to approve the internship extension was made and seconded; council voted in favor by voice vote. Staff said they would follow up on payroll arrangements and coordinate with the utility board if a portion of the intern’s pay is to be allocated there.
