Committee approves staff training and conference attendances, including scholarship for parks employee
Summary
Personnel committee approved staff attendance at several certification courses and conferences, including a scholarship for a parks employee to attend MPRA and local conference approvals for city staff.
The Personnel committee on Jan. 9 approved multiple training and conference attendance requests for city staff, including a certified playground inspector course and three professional conferences.
Emma (last name not recorded) was approved to attend a local certified playground inspector course so the city maintains in‑house playground inspection capabilities; staff said the city previously lost an internal inspector and Emma volunteered to pursue certification. The committee approved Emma’s attendance and the city will fund registration and travel where appropriate.
The committee also approved attendance for Jane to attend the MOCCFOA annual spring conference in Columbia (noted cost: $875) and approved an IMC annual spring conference attendance (cost cited at $1,000 at the Hyatt Regency in St. Louis). The committee recognized that Emma won a scholarship to attend the MPRA annual conference and accepted the scholarship (three complimentary nights and a $100 travel stipend) with no additional city cost for conference registration.
All motions to permit attendance and accept the scholarship were approved by committee vote and will be processed through normal personnel and travel procedures.
