City staff received $30,000 in TechCred funds for AI training; Republic Services contract extension to be discussed
Summary
Council members said the city used $30,000 in state TechCred funds to send 15 employees to AI training (audio/video tools) and invited council members to a one-day April 16 session; a Republic Services contract extension proposal will also be brought to council for renewal options.
Speaker 2 told the council that Ralph Zirbonia had flagged an AI training opportunity and the city used $30,000 in Ohio TechCred funds to send 15 employees through two-day classes that cover audio, video and other AI tools beyond ChatGPT. Speaker 2 said four council seats remain for a condensed one-day session on April 16 at Moffy running 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., and urged members to sign up so the city can claim the TechCred credits.
Separately, Speaker 2 said the city will receive a contract extension proposal from Republic Services with multiple renewal options and that council will need to review and renew that trash/collection contract in a future meeting.
Next steps: Council members interested in the April 16 AI training should notify Speaker 2 promptly so staff can submit names for TechCred credit; the Republic Services extension will appear as a future agenda item for review and action.
