Taken From The Weekly Update From City Manager To City Council

Last week I was privileged to be among a group of mediators who underwent training given by statewide budget experts. (I serve as a volunteer mediator for the State of Ohio Commission on Dispute Resolution and Conflict Management.) This training will also be useful as staff prepares our 2011 budgets.
