Board approves certified playground safety inspector training for two staff
Summary
Cedar Lake park staff were approved to attend a three‑day certified playground safety inspector course in McCordsville on Sept. 1–3. The board approved sending two employees and discussed repayment or retention contingencies tied to HR policy.
The park board approved sending two staff members, Josh Banhart and Chris Titus, to a three‑day certified playground safety inspector training in McCordsville scheduled for Sept. 1–3. During discussion, staff cited a total cost figure for sending both employees, summarized in the meeting as "$2,164," and confirmed the course includes classroom days and a multi‑hour certification test.
Board members raised concerns about the town bearing training costs if staff later leave and asked staff to coordinate with HR on possible repayment or time‑based retention agreements. One member suggested a sliding‑scale repayment if an employee leaves shortly after certification; staff said they would check HR policy and return with information at the next meeting.
The board approved the training and test attendance by roll-call vote (4–0) but did not set a repayment schedule during the meeting.
