Agenda Text
The Board is requested to authorize the County Manager to execute the attached Interlocal Agreement with the City of Durham for the International City/County Management Association (ICMA) Fellow.
As part of the Fiscal Year 2018-2019 Budget, the City of Durham and the County of Durham have proposed continuing to host an ICMA Local Government Fellow for one year (July 2018 through June 2019). The ICMA Local Government Management Fellowship Program links aspiring local government professionals with a local host government or governments for a year. The local government or governments provide the Fellow with professional work experience, while ICMA offers professional development opportunities and a Fellows network so that the Fellows can all connect with and learn from each other. The County of Durham and the City of Durham collaborate to offer an ICMA Fellow the opportunity to work in City and County government on a variety of projects throughout the year. The position is a County position, but will be paid on a 50/50 basis from both the County and the City.
