TQ: Mayor l�oke �IY! � � g:� ,. . � Gouncilmembers Napper Oxborough Walsh ` Wippermann FROM: Stephan Ji1k, Administrator/Clerk i DATE: November 17 , 1989 � � ; RE: Speeial Training OPportunity ; City Administrators in Dakota County have begun to put together a � series of special training opportunities for city staff and , i_nterested elected oEficials in Dakota County. It is our hope that we can benefit by putting kogether training and conference o�portunities which we, here in Dakata County, highlight as special needs and also by cost savings on travel, etc. The first of these opportunities is way off, but we feel is so ' very exciting, we want to get the word out soon. We have engaged the services of Dr. Layne Longfellow for a special one day presentation on February S , 1990. A brochure on Dr. Longfellow is attached. Because we are coordinating this locally and will guarantee so many participants , we can experience a cost of $40 � plus meals for each participant. ; Speaking from experience, I can say br. Longfellow is unique in his insight to people and their relationships with one another - in and out of the work place. I heard him speak at a conference I 4 years ago. ' I plan on having department heads attend and have reserved 6 � additional spots for couneilmembers and other staff. As time gets closer to February 5, Z will bring this back to the council, � but hc�pe some of you will avail yourself of this unique oppor.tunity. i dw ' attach. � � , _. � � I�C.
