Planning commission confirms $50,000 training budget and seeks conferences for FY2027
Summary
Commissioners agreed to keep the prior training allocation ($50,000) for conferences and continuing education for FY2027 and discussed attending APA and regional events; staff said they will begin coordinating conference planning and resource sourcing when the new fiscal year funding is available.
Commissioners discussed the commission's training budget and confirmed a consensus to proceed with the previously recommended $50,000 allocation for FY2027 to support attendance at planning conferences and continuing education opportunities.
One commissioner asked that the commission be frugal with taxpayer dollars but supported attending local or regional events; staff said the funding already exists in this year's budget and that planning will begin once the new fiscal year funds are active. The commission agreed staff should source APA (American Planning Association) resources and training options and coordinate scheduling so multiple commissioners can attend where practical.
