Item No: 5.C. <br />2025 <br />M0L--TN-DitSVVftW <br />Meeting Date: May 5, 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 10097 Authorizing a Recruitment Process for the Police Intern <br />Position and Approve the Revised Job Description <br />Introduction: <br />Staff added the Police Intern position in 2024, which allowed Interns to work up to 16 weeks, assisting with <br />administrative duties (scanning documents, shredding, lite clerical and transporting items to the BCA); <br />Neighborhood Resource Officer (NRO) duties (such as: Night to Unite; Festival in the Park, neighborhood <br />events; and taking informational reports with the NRO for child or adult protection; etc.), and assisting the <br />PD with special projects. The Intern receives an overview of the K9, Patrol, Investigations, SRO, SWAT, <br />CSO, and Administration/Support areas of the PD. <br />Discussion: <br />The Intern program allows Police Department Staff an opportunity to view potential candidates for Police <br />Officer openings; and, gives the Intern an opportunity to achieve an internship, earn wages, and discover <br />the meaning behind the Mounds View Police Departments core values: Integrity; Service; Commitment. <br />The HR Committee supports the request for the Police Internship program to continue. Staff is requesting <br />Council approve the revisions to the job description and posting/hiring of the Internship while funding exists <br />within the Police Department. Funding still exists as three Police Officer positions are currently vacant within <br />the department. <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 10097, Authorizing a Recruitment Process for the Police Intern <br />Position and Approve the Revised Job Description. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />Rayla Sue Ewald <br />Human Resource Director <br />Attachment: Res.
