Information

Title:

Approval of Tuition Reimbursement

Purpose/Background:

All regular City employees are eligible to participate in a degree completion tuition reimbursement program that provides for 50% reimbursement of tuition and books.  Subject to the policy provisions, employees can participate based upon the approval by the department head , the HR manager, and City Administrator.  However, tuition reimbursement requests by the City Administrator must be approved by the City Council.

 

Notification:

Not applicable

Observations/Alternatives:

The requested course (Advanced Research Methods) is a required course toward a degree program of public administration.  This course focuses on applying theory to practice in the contexts of critical public issues and my personal professional experience.   Specific review and analysis of current issues facing the City of Ramsey will be analyzed.  The City's reimbursement for degree program requires that the course be for the purpose of advanced skill development, and that the course is job-related and deemed to be a benefit to the employer.
 

Funding Source:

The 50% tuition expense would be allocated from budgeted administrative training and professional development.

Recommendation:

It is recommended that the Council consider approval of the tuition reimbursement request for Spring semester 2018 as outlined in the attached Tuition Reimbursement form.

Action:

Motion to approve the tuition reimbursement request for the City Administrator for Spring Semester 2018.
