Travel
The Des Moines City Council approved travel funding for Richard Brown, assistant parks and recreation director, to visit Wheeling, West Virginia, from Aug. 23-28. Brown will attend the National Recreation and Park Association’s Executing Training School, which will help develop skills necessary to evaluate a park and recreation agency’s organizational structure and administrative procedures. It will also develop skills to evaluate and identify the legal responsibilities and implications related to park and recreation agency operation, develop and implement performance management systems to evaluate the performance of agency personnel and the overall success of the agency itself, as well as prioritize programs and services in order to maximize positive impact on their communities. This expense comes at a cost of $2,991.45 to taxpayers. CV
