I would like to request authorization to send Inez Maldonado, Charles Reinhardt and
Debra Brown to the "Introduction to Governmental Accounting" school offered by the
New York State Comptroller's Office. At the training school we attended last month,
Angie Paustian won a raffle from the state of a certificate to attend this class for free.
The school is a 2 1/2 day program that teaches basic governmental accounting concepts
and bookkeeping procedures. It is going to be held in Kingston, New York this October
23r6 through 25"' and costs $80.00 each for governmental employees. This class is an
intense, low-cost, springboard to all the functions in our Comptroller's office, to be
followed up with the "Advanced Accounting School" hopefully next spring. The total
cost will be $240.00. I believe this training will benefit all of the financial employees to
have a greater understanding of how their function impacts the rest of the department. I
have attached the course content for your review.
