Travel

The Des Moines City Council recently approved Deputy Public Works Director Patrick J. Kozitza to travel to Anaheim, Calif., from Aug. 25 – 29, to attend the 2012 American Public Works Association Congress and Exposition. The conference promises to provide information on the latest innovations in public works, deliver top-notch motivational speakers and “elevate its attendees and their communities to new heights,” according to City Council documents. The Iowa Chapter of the American Public Works Society will reimburse the City for airfare and lodging which will bring the City’s cost for this trip down to approximately $1,000. CV
