To implement these actions, it is necessary to approve the Twelfth Amendment to FY 2022 Salary Resolution No. 2021-176.
BACKGROUND
To establish an effective work experience program by attracting interns to the City, and to maintain a similar and equitable pay range amongst other temporary classifications, it is necessary that the salary range for the Intern position be amended. It is recommended that the salary range for this classification be adjusted from $15.00 - $17.00 per hour to $15.00 - $19.00 per hour. This adjustment will provide more opportunity to recruit, attract and retain future employees for the City while maintaining competitive pay in this current competitive job market.
The modified salary range will increase the opportunity to recruit Interns and provide equitable pay in comparison to other temporary classes.
The City Attorney’s Office has approved the Twelfth Amendment to Salary Resolution No. 2021-176 as to form.
