City administrator highlights staff certifications and librarian selection
Summary
City administrators recognized staff achievements at the May 13 meeting, noting a sergeant at a supervisory academy, a public works worker earning a certification, and the library director's selection for a national forum on substance-abuse prevention.
In the city administrator's report on May 13, officials highlighted three staff achievements: a police sergeant attending a supervisory leadership academy in Salem for certification, a senior public works maintenance worker earning a certification (Rhodes Scholar 1 certification as read at the meeting), and the library director, Dre Douglas, being selected to participate in the National Forum on Libraries Advancing Communities Learning to Reduce Substance Abuse sponsored by the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
Why it matters: The recognitions signal investment in staff training across public safety, public works and library services and note North Bend staff participation in state and national professional development opportunities.
Details
The police sergeant (named in the report as Sergeant White) is attending a supervisory certification program. Public Works senior maintenance worker Scott Dubassar earned a Rhodes Scholar 1 certification. Librarian Dre Douglas was selected as one of roughly 50 library professionals nationwide to participate in a national forum on reducing substance abuse. The administrator noted these are examples of staff bringing knowledge back to the community.
No formal action was associated with these recognitions; they were informational items in the administrator's report to the council.
