FROM: Olufemi Folarin, City Manager
Gail Cohen, Human Resources nd Purchasing Director
SUBJECT: Employee Training
PURPOSE
The purpose of this memorandum is to provide the Mayor and members of the City Council with
information to approve a contract with Seyfarth Shaw LLP for workplace issue training for staff.
RECOMMENDATION
/"`
It is recommended that the City Council approve award of a contract for $25,000 with Workright
Training LLP for workplace issue training for staff.
BACKGROUND
In August of 2005, Council approved award of a contract to Seyfarth Shaw's training division,
Workright Training LLP, to provide their course Managing Within the Law to all managers and
supervisors. The training took place November through January and was very well received.
Now we would like to provide a shorter program to all remaining full time, non-supervisory
staff. The course will instruct staff about the City's anti-harassment/anti-discrimination policy,
the workplace behavior notification process and provide information about discrimination and
harassment issues in an interactive and engaging manner. The courses are two hours long and
three can be scheduled per day. It is estimated that all non-supervisory full time employees can
be trained in six days.
COMMUNITY GROUPS/INTERESTED PERSONS CONTACTED
None
2i/fir FINANCIAL IMPACT
Each day of training will cost $3,600 plus per diems if the training is from out of state. The
estimated maximum obligation of the agreement is $25,000. There are sufficient funds budgeted
($25,000) and available ($25,000) in the General Fund, account number 010-6902-719.89-02
"Special Projects" to pay for the training.
