2015. Due to schedule changes, coursework demands, reporting logistics, and the EDA’s
Doug Danielson
meeting schedule we have been unable to complete work assignments and reporting by the May

th
13 date. Speltz did not consume all of the 135 hours afforded by the internship contract by the
Gary Osberg
closing contract date.

In order to complete the internship with a debriefing and report presentation, the EDA is asked to
th through May 27 th provided the maximum
authorize extension of the work period from May 13
number of allocated hours (i.e. 135) is not exceeded.
As discussed at the April EDA meeting, we would like to take a few minutes to debrief on the
internship. Speltz will be prepared to address: her opinion of the internship opportunity, what
types of individuals may be interested in a similar internship position in the future, and how the
internship could be improved. EDA members are encouraged to ask questions since the 2016
budget process will be initiated in June and a logical component of that will be discussion of an
intern.
ACTION
th providing total number
Authorization to extend the EDA contract by two weeks, through May 27
of hours doesn’t exceed 135 is kindly requested. In addition, debriefing with Speltz is kindly
requested.
