Greenwood adopts resolution to fund employee CDL training with two-year reimbursement clause
Summary
The Board of Public Works approved Resolution 25-06 to pay up to $5,000 for city employees to obtain commercial driver’s licenses, with a requirement that employees reimburse the city if they leave within two years.
The Board of Public Works on June 2 adopted Resolution 25-06, which creates a program to pay for city employees to obtain commercial driver’s licenses (CDLs) and requires reimbursement if an employee leaves within two years of receiving the training. "What we'd like to do is create a grama for the city to pay for, employees to get their CDLs," a staff member explained during the meeting.
Staff said the cost of the CDL can be up to $5,000 and that the resolution includes an early-termination reimbursement provision for employees who depart within two years of obtaining the license. Board members discussed the program briefly and then voted to adopt the resolution.
No additional funding sources or administrative details beyond the $5,000 figure and the two-year reimbursement clause were specified at the meeting. The board did not alter the terms of the proposed resolution during the session.
