Vernon Public Utilities (VPU)
VPU has identified an opportunity to provide a paid internship at no additional cost to the City and
desires to utilize an Administrative Intern within the Department. VPU is a member of the American
Public Power Association (APPA) which has established the Demonstration of Energy & Efficiency
Developments (DEED) scholarship program with a purpose to sponsor and conduct activities related to
energy innovation, which would assist local publicly owned electric/energy utilities in providing high quality
and economical energy services to their consumers. This scholarship program provides
reimbursements to sponsoring public utilities to cover student intern payments and training. The DEED
scholarship allows reimbursements for up to two interns per year. Public Utilities staff have been in
contact with APPA and are familiar with the DEED program requirements. As such, VPU staff are are
prepared and ready to begin participating in this utility focused scholarship program.
Fiscal Impact:
The maximum total additional annual cost for an Administrative Intern is approximately $15,000. (This
classification is not eligible for benefits). Costs associated with the proposed placement of an
Administrative Intern in VPU will be reimbursed through an APPA scholarship.
