Why This Vote Matters
The council approved a scaled-back plan to hire student interns for public policy work, starting with two positions instead of the originally proposed four. The internships would begin June 1, 2007 and run through the 2007-08 fiscal year, with staff directed to include funding in the annual budget. The council passed the motion with broad support in an 8-1 vote, with Vice Mayor Bates as the sole dissenter. This decision allows the city to test the internship program on a smaller scale before potentially expanding to the full four positions later.
