The council approved an increase to the mayor’s training budget to cover registration for a Labor Relations meeting in May.

After discussion CM Pete Martin moved to increase the mayor's training budget by the amount needed to pay for registration; CM Mike Hale seconded and the motion passed on roll call with CM Shelly Ausmus voting no. As recorded, Ausmus said she wanted the mayor to "pick and choose what he would like to attend."
