RESOLUTION #2023-82
Approving the hiring of Water/Wastewater Department internship staff and setting wage
WHEREAS, Monticello needs to complete the EPA-mandated Lead/Copper service line inventory. It was proposed in the budgeting process to hire an additional staff member for the Water/Wastewater Department to have additional staff capacity to prioritize that project, and
WHEREAS, The City Administrator and Water/Wastewater Superintendent met with Sully Flynn, who has worked several summers for the City at the Aquatic Center and is a Chemical Engineering major at Iowa State. The intern would work to get a bulk of the EPA-mandated Lead/Copper service line inventory completed, while also shadowing the Water and Wastewater employees, help with labs and testing, and work on a myriad of other projects that would provide important experience related to chemical engineering. There would also be opportunities to assist with other projects and tasks with the City, to provide a broad-based experience in municipal work, and
WHEREAS, The wage for the internship position would be $15.00 per hour, and
WHEREAS, The City Administrator recommends hiring an internship staff, to work under the supervision of the Water/Wastewater Superintendent, and
WHEREAS, The Council finds it appropriate to follow the recommendation of the City Administrator, and further finds that the wages set are fair and reasonable and should, therefore, be approved
NOW, THEREFORE, The Council hereby approves hiring an Water/Wastewater internship staff and wage, as noted above.
IN TESTIMONY WHEREOF, I have hereunto subscribed my name and caused the Great Seal of the City of Monticello, Iowa to be affixed hereto. Done this 5th day of June 2023.
