CITY MANAGER'S REPORTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS: Budget Internship Program City Manager Trevino reported from his memorandum regarding a National Hispanic Field Service Program with the University of California at Riverside to assist Hispanics who wish to enter the field of Public Administration. Mr. Trevino advised the University is seeking internships from municipalities for graduate students for the summer months, and the cost for two students, for a three month period, is estimated to be approximately $8,000. Mr. Trevino said that De- partment Heads have indicated an interest in this program, and it has been suggested that the Departments allocate approximately $750 in the 1982-83 Budget to cover the costs. Students would then be placed in each department for approximately two weeks and be given projects that would aid the City and, at the same time, expose the stu- dent to various facets of City government. Mr. Trevino concluded Staff would recommend the Council concur with this concept and authorize the City Manager to include the $8,000 expenditure in the 1982-83 Budget. Discussion then followed among Council Members and Staff with regard to the proposed program, previous programs of this kind conducted by the City, costs involved, and the participation of surrounding cities in this type of program. Moved by Councilwoman Garcia, seconded by Mayor Gonzales, to approve the National Hispanic Field Service Internship Program and authorize the City Manager to include the $8,000 expenditure in the 1982-83 Fiscal Year Budget.
