Staff Renort
Date of Meeting: January 15,2013
To: City Council
From: Kristina Handt, City Administrator
Re: Administrator's Attendance at Ehler's Seminar
Agenda Item#: 5.1)
Background:
My employment agreement with the City of Scandia requires City approval before
reimbursement for any travel and subsistence expenses for Professional Development. Ehler's
offers annual public finance seminars for public entities. I recently(Jan. 9`h) learned of the
annual seminar planned for Feb 7-8 in Brooklyn Park.
Issue:
Will the City cover the registration and travel costs for the administrator to attend the public
finance seminar on Feb 7-8`�'?
Proposal Details:
A copy of the brochure for the seminar is included in your packet. You will see it includes
numerous sessions on TIF and other economic development financing tools which would be
helpful if the City is going to move forward with creating an EDA. Sessions are also available
on other financing issuing including a discussion on creative ways to generate revenue and legal
issues/regulations impacting budgets.
Fiscal Impact:
The registration cost is $265. Mileage would also be given at the current IRS rate.
The 2013 administration budget includes $750 for conferences and seminars.
Options:
1) Approve Administrator's attendance at Ehler's Seminar Feb 7-8,2013
2) Do not approve Administrator's attendance at Ehler's Seminar Feb 7-8, 2013
Recommendation:
Option 1.
