9.e Training for public works department
Staff Report
Date of Meeting: June 18, 2019
To: Scandia City Council
From: Brenda Eklund, Deputy Clerk
Re: Training for the Public Works Department
Cory Bergerson, union representative for the Local 49 Public Works union employees, has
contacted staff with a proposal to pursue training opportunities for the public works
department:
After our last LMC leadership meeting on May 30th I had spoken with the mayor about training
for the whole group including the Public Works Director. The union has used an instructor from
the University of Minnesota for training for our groups . Her name is Amy Livingston, contact
number is 312-218-7025. It was approved by my board to fund half of the cost for training .
Please contact Amy and myself to identify the needs of the City. I look forward to working with
all of you to foster a great working environment. I know how Scandia is a great community to
live in; I grew up there and I know it can be a great place to work as well.
Respectfully,
Cory Bergerson
Mayor Maefsky has researched the training topics and costs with Mr. Bergerson, and will
provide a report at the Council meeting.
