Grand Rapids Staffer Reimburse for Meals & Training…. Taxpayers pay to have staffer take Math classes….I would cry if it wasn’t too funny!


Grand Rapids City Commission Minutes  05/15/12  pages 101-103


Grand Rapids City Official Reimbursement Report for Lunches and Training

Lunches

Planning Dept.

·         Planning Board ate lunches in the amount of $90.69 on March 7,2012

So the board gets together before the planning meetings and has lunch on the tax payers… We pay $1,080/yr so they can have lunch….

Executive Dept.

·          Mayor Heartwell ate lunch in the amount of $64.33.. In a meeting.

Maybe the Mayor needs to rethink were he holds his meetings…

Training (This is great!)

Designing, Dev., & Enterprise
·          Environment Protect Dept.
o   Basic Math I & II (2 classes) @ $200/each (9 staffers)
o   Math I Course @ $100/each  (2 staffers)

Let me help our Environment Protect Dept.  You spent $2, 000 for Basic Math & Math classes for your staff.  I’m not one to judge but shouldn’t that be a part of the hiring process.

“Mr. Smith can you do math?”  And if they say no, don’t hire them…Is it me?
