REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION Agenda Section: 11. <br /> 11176 <br /> STAFF REPORT Report Number: 93-498WS <br /> AGENDA SESSION DATE May 3, 1993 Report Date: 4-79-91 <br /> DISPOSITION <br /> Item Description: Request for Staff Training <br /> Administrator's Review/Recommendation: <br /> - No comments to supplement this report <br /> - Comments attached. <br /> Explanation/Summary (attach supplement sheets as necessary.) <br /> SUMMARY: <br /> Earlier this year, Don Brager applied for the Government Finance Officers <br /> Association's Advanced Government Finance Institute ( a copy of the <br /> informational flyer is attached) . Last week, he received confirmation that <br /> he had been accepted in this year's class of 50 students. <br /> The week long work shop is held at the University of Wisconsin at Madison <br /> and is considered one of the best advanced finance training program in the <br /> nation for government finance officials. I believe that the City will <br /> benefit greatly from Don's participation in the workshop. <br /> The cost for the training is $1,200 plus approximately $250 in travel <br /> expenses. The training is not a budgeted expense for 1993 . However, the <br /> recent insurance renewals came in significantly under budget and funds <br /> could be transferred from that account into the training account. <br /> The training, which is slated for July 18-23 is during the City's Visioning <br /> Process. However, I feel that staff can "carry on" in Don's absence and the <br /> process will not be negatively impacted by his absence. <br /> a-44 <br /> Samanth- Ordun• , Cit Administrator <br /> RECOMMENDATION; <br /> Staff is requesting Council consideration in this matter. If approved, the <br /> matter will be placed on the Consent agenda for the May 10th Council <br /> meeting. <br />
