Milton council approves Jurassic Parliament training, authorizes up to $2,500 and purchases recording
Summary
The Milton council approved hiring Jurassic Parliamentary Training and authorized up to $2,500 to cover the session and purchase of the training recording; the council scheduled the three-hour session for 11/24 at 5:30 p.m. and said the recording will be shared with boards and commissions.
Milton council members voted unanimously during a special-call meeting to hire Jurassic Parliamentary Training and authorize up to $2,500 for a live parliamentary-procedure session and the purchase of the training recording.
Speaker 3 recommended the Jurassic Parliament option, saying, "We recommend that you move forward with the Jurassic Parliament training, at the $2,000 level for as many participants as they will allow in that particular session and that we also buy the recording of the training from the company." Speaker 3 added that owning the recording would allow the town to "send it to our boards and commissions and they can view it at their leisure."
The recommendation drew support from other members. Speaker 5 said, "I'm a 100% behind choosing that option, for up to 2,500," and Speaker 4 moved to approve spending up to $2,500; Speaker 5 seconded the motion. Speaker 2 announced the motion as coming from Councilman Powers with a second by Councilman Powell and stated the motion was "unanimously approved by all members who present." The transcript does not list individual roll-call votes.
Members discussed format and logistics before the vote. Speaker 3 explained the trainer will present remotely, attendees will have an opportunity to come in person, and the town will not pay travel to bring the trainer from Seattle. Speaker 4 asked whether the plan covered "up to 20 individuals," and the group discussed participant counts and refreshments. The training will run three hours, and the council scheduled the session for 11/24 at 5:30 p.m.
The council recorded a small scheduling discussion about conflicts with Thanksgiving week; one member said they would likely watch the recording afterward because of work obligations. Speaker 2 confirmed there was no public input on the item and adjourned the meeting.
