Chilton County mandates ACCA training for department heads and amends budget to cover classes
Summary
The commission approved mandatory attendance for department heads at ACCA training in finance, county government, ethics and personnel and voted to amend the budget to pay for the classes, noting one course begins before the fiscal year starts.
The Chilton County Commission approved a resolution allowing all county department heads to attend training courses offered through the Alabama Association of County Commissions (ACCA) in four categories — finance, county government, ethics and personnel — and voted to amend the county budget to pay for the classes because one course starts before the new fiscal year.
Commissioners said the training will be mandatory for department heads and that the timing required a budget amendment because the first class begins in September. A motion to allow department heads to attend the ACCA classes was moved and seconded at the meeting and passed unanimously; commissioners later moved and seconded an amendment to the budget to fund the training and the amendment passed unanimously as well.
The commission did not specify the exact dollar amount to be transferred in the meeting record; commissioners said they would amend the budget to cover the classes and noted staff would handle scheduling and payment details. The action is intended to increase department-head capacity in financial management, personnel administration and ethics compliance.
