Item No: 5.1. <br />2024 <br />MO[1NDS VVt <br />—E TMeeting Date: April A enda��/ Type of Business: Consent Agenda <br />Administrator review: <br />City of Mounds View Staff Report <br />To: Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />From: Rayla Sue Ewald, Human Resource Director <br />Item Title/Subject: Resolution 9910 Authorize a Recruitment Process for the Police <br />Department Intern Position and Approve the Job Description <br />Introduction: <br />Staff would like to add a Police Department Intern position. This would be an ongoing paid internship <br />program, allowing Interns to work at the City up to 12 — 16 weeks, one Intern at a time. The Intern would <br />assist with administrative duties (scanning documents, shredding, lite clerical and transporting items to the <br />BCA); Neighborhood Resource Officer (NRO) duties (such as: Night to Unite; Festival in the Park, rock wall <br />events; and taking informational reports with the NRO for child or adult protection; etc.), and assist the PD <br />with special projects. The Intern would receive an overview of the K9, Patrol, Investigations, SRO, SWAT, <br />, and Administration/Support areas of the PD. <br />Discussion: <br />The Intern program would allow Police Department Staff an opportunity to view potential candidates for <br />Police Officer openings; and, give the Intern an opportunity to achieve an internship, earn wages, and <br />discover the meaning behind the Mounds View Police Departments core values: Integrity; Service; <br />Commitment. <br />The HR Committee supports the request for the Police Internship program, and would like to begin the <br />program immediately. Staff is requesting Council approve the job description and allow staff to post the <br />Internship as it becomes available moving forward. If funding no longer exists as Police Officer positions <br />are filled in the future, staff will return for a discussion on continuation of the program. <br />Strategic Plan Strategy/Goal: <br />Create a culture where employees desire to work. <br />Financial Impact: <br />None, currently there is funding available as the Police Department is low on Police Officer staff. <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff recommends approval of Resolution 9910, Authorize a Recruitment Process for the Police Department <br />Intern Position and Approve the Job Description. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />Rayla Sue Ewald <br />Human Resource Director <br />Attachment: Res.
