-Re: Elected Municipal Officials Workshop
The Local Government Center in Bozeman has scheduled the annual Local Government
Officials Workshop for April 21- April 23, 1999 at the Holiday Inn in Billings. Two Council
members, Dale Haarr and Doug Scarff, have expressed an interest in attending. The fee for
the workshop is $150. If two or more officials from the same city attend, the fee for each
additional official is $125. The fee includes all instructional materials, the Thursday night
banquet with the Municipal Clerks, continental breakfasts, coffee breaks and lunches. The
purpose of the workshop is to help mayors and council/commission members learn about their
roles and responsibilities as elected officials; and to enhance their capacity to serve in
municipal government. Topics for this year's workshop include:
-Clerk/Mayor/Council Relations
-Interlocal Agreements: Contracting with Other Governments
-Human Resource Problem Solving
-Risk Management
I have reviewed the Council's budget and there is enough money for both Council members
to attend the workshop. Council authority would allow me to submit registrations for Dale and
Doug.
