Mounds View City Council November 27, 2006 <br />Regular Meeting Page 9 <br /> <br />compliance programs offered locally and Staff is looking for them. He then said that Staff felt 1 <br />this would be beneficial enough to justify recommending increasing the budget and allowing 2 <br />Staff to attend out of state. 3 <br /> 4 <br />Council Member Stigney said that he would feel that some things would be different state to state 5 <br />and he would prefer to see something that is Minnesota based. 6 <br /> 7 <br />Director Ericson indicated that is a good point but the basis of the program is nationwide for 8 <br />what works across the nation not just in one state. He then said that Staff would need to be 9 <br />careful to ensure that programs are appropriate for this state but they attract attendees from many 10 <br />states not just from the host state and they address differences among states. He further said that 11 <br />Staff feels that the benefits would outweigh any potential legal issues. 12 <br /> 13 <br />Council Member Flaherty asked who would be attending. 14 <br /> 15 <br />Director Ericson said that it would be Jeremiah Anderson. 16 <br /> 17 <br />Council Member Flaherty asked if there is a City vehicle that could be taken to save on mileage 18 <br />because Madison is 200 miles. 19 <br /> 20 <br />Director Ericson said that the employee is willing to take a City vehicle to save some costs but 21 <br />there will be gas and mileage to the City vehicle. 22 <br /> 23 <br />Mayor Marty said that he is not usually for this type of conference but, after reviewing the 24 <br />information, he feels that there would be a benefit to Staff to attend this seminar. 25 <br /> 26 <br />Mayor Marty indicated that Code compliance is a tough job and the courses offered really look 27 <br />like they would be beneficial for the employee on behalf of the City. 28 <br /> 29 <br />Mayor Marty said that Jeremiah Anderson is a valuable and effective employee and he feels that 30 <br />this would benefit him and he would like to support him and the department by agreeing with 31 <br />this conference. 32 <br /> 33 <br />Council Member Gunn agreed and said that, after reviewing the information, she feels that the 34 <br />conference would be very beneficial. 35 <br /> 36 <br />MOTION/SECOND: Marty/Gunn.
