Item No: 5.C. <br /> M0L--TN-DitSVVftW <br /> Meeting Date: April A 2025 <br /> 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. No. 10097 <br /> Exhibit A—Revised Police Intern Job Description <br /> The Mounds View Vision <br /> A Thriving Desirable Community <br />
