Commissioners agree to reserve $55,000 for Tyler training amid debate over prior training credits
Summary
The court set aside $55,000 in the FY2025 draft budget for a proposed 'Tyler University' training-of-trainers program after commissioners reviewed prior training credits and discussed whether to put the amount into contingency for the second draft.
Commissioner Stacy presented a proposal to create a Tyler training program to build internal subject-matter experts and to invite other counties to participate as a cost-offset. He told the court he was proposing a way to "silo" money for targeted training rather than sign an immediate contract.
Commissioner Stacy said that the county previously received an initial tranche of training hours that were applied as a credit against Tyler's annual bill and that there is currently no standing training bucket. After discussion, the court voted unanimously to place $55,000 in the draft budget for Tyler training; the judges and commissioners agreed additional approvals will be required before money is spent.
