Staff Attendance at National ConferenceCITY OF ROSEMOUNT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY FOR ACTION CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: March 17, 1992 AGENDA ITEM: AGENDA SECTION: Authorization to Attend National Conference Consent PREPARED BY: AGENDA ITEM # 6 H Jeff May, Finance Director ATTACHMENTS: None f 1 The Government Finance Officers Association(GFOA) is holding its Annual Conference June 21-24, 1992, in Orlando, Florida. Our Finance Department became members of the GFOA three years ago, and since that time have attended one of the national conferences held by the organization(two years ago). My predecessor, who attended the conference, felt that it was a valuable experience meeting other members of our profession at a national level. In addition to the opportunity to meet other finance professionals from across the country, the conference offers concurrent sessions, which are 90 -minute sessions held on various topics of interest. The conference also has general sessions which feature nationally known speakers who will address issues of critical importance to state and local governments. In addition to these sessions, there will be informal roundtable discussions held throughout the conference on topics of special interest that are not covered in the other sessions. Finally, there is an exhibit hall with more than 100 firms offering management and finance -related products and services to _state and local governments. I have included funds for this conference in the Finance Department budget for 1992. The total estimated cost to attend the conference is $1,200.00. The City Administrator has given his approvalformy attendance at this conference. RECOMMENDED ACTION: Authorize the Finance Director, Jeff May, to attend the 1992 GFOA Annual Conference in Orlando, Florida, with all costs associated with all costs associated with this conference (not to exceed $1,200.00) to come from account 101-41520-01-437.
