Consider Request to Hire Finance Department Intern
The finance department is requesting authorization to hire a summer intern
to assist with inventorying the city's fixed assets. Although the finance
department keeps records on the city's fixed assets, it has been some time
since an actual physical inventory has been taken on all of the equipment
and vehicles. The information gathered by the intern will be used for
insurance purposes and will begin the laborious process of inventorying all
assets, including infrastructure, as required by GASB 34.
It is proposed that the intern work approximately 350 hours at $8 to $9 per
hour for a total cost not to exceed $3,500. The intern must be an accounting
major and preferably a college junior or senior. Depending upon the abilities
of the intern and the time available, other accounting projects may be
assigned.
Action Requested
The City Council is asked to authorize the finance department to hire an
intern with the funds to come from council contingency.
