The In -basket exercise consisted of a test of computer <br />skills, writing skills and attention to detail. Each candidate was asked <br />to duplicate the Human Resources Budget on either Lotus or Excel and then <br />write a staff report explaining the increases/decreases in the Budget. Each <br />candidate was also told that several mistakes existed on the budget format <br />and they were to find and correct the mistakes (i.e.: Mounds View was <br />spelled as "Moundsview"). <br />Out of the seven candidates, one performed exceptionally in the oral <br />interview and In -basket exercise. She is Dawn Postudensek, currently an <br />Intern with the City of St. Louis Park and former elementary school <br />teacher. She will be receiving her Masters Degree in Public Administration <br />next year. <br />Her references described her as energetic, bright, willing to always go the <br />extra mile and very knowledgeable about municipal operations. <br />As we have entered the 1996 Budget process and are involved in many on- <br />going projects, the additional assistance will be greatly appreciated. <br />Therefore, staff is requesting that the Council approve the hiring of Dawn <br />Postudensek as Administrative Intern, effective July 10, 1995 at an hourly <br />wage of $9.25/hr. <br />Ordu •, City A inistrator <br />RECOMMENDATION; <br />Waive the reading and approve Resolution No. 4789 Approving the Hiring of <br />Dawn Postudensek as Administrative Intern <br />
