Mayor Sylvester Turner’s Statement on the Houston Airport System’s Executive Internship Program

The official job title for the Executive Intern is Senior Staff Analyst (Executive Level) with a pay grade of 28.  The Department Director chose the  job title and pay grade and the Human Resource Department determined both were  consistent with the specified duties and responsibilities of the position.

The City of Houston is proud of our record on recruiting, hiring and retaining qualified individuals.  We are especially proud of our intentional outreach to attract millennials who bring innovative ideas and energy to our workforce.   As we compete with the private sector for qualified employees willing to learn and excel, we are amazed at our good fortune to attract such talented young men and women committed to a life of public service.

Regarding my statement about Mr. Agumagu, I do know Marvin and, quite candidly the reporter’s question caught me off guard as I was rushing to another scheduled city event after leaving the Houston Police Department’s cadet graduation.
