Council approves $2,000 stipend for summer intern

The council approved a $2,000 stipend for Natalie Johnson, a summer intern who assisted city staff with social media, internal systems, and budget-document formats. Staff described Johnson's contribution as significant and said she had originally signed up for an unpaid internship. "Her work has certainly lent to a lot of advancement internally," a staff member said.

Council approved the stipend by motion; the intern is scheduled to present work to the council at a future meeting. No conditions or additional funding were recorded beyond the single stipend payment.
