Travel

The Des Moines City Council approved travel funding for Nekesha Palmer, human relations specialist, to visit Washington, D.C., from July 25 to Aug. 1. Palmer will attend training at the National Fair Housing Academy, which will provide HUD required training on completing effective evaluation and investigation of disability, reasonable accommodation and reasonable modification complaints. She will learn how to examine and analyze testing evidence, explore the psychological impact of discrimination and understand the principles of the conciliation process. This comes at a cost of $3,439.63 to taxpayers. CV
