By Mila Besich-Lira

Last week the Hayden Town Council voted to approve paying a motivational speaker to come and work with town staff. The speaker will cost $2500 and will help the staff to learn how to work together as a team rather than as separate departments.

Councilmember Rhonda Cooper explained that several residents had asked her about the fees and that a few felt it was unnecessary. After further discussion, the council voted and it was unanimously approved to hire Ed Smith.

Bill Liester, Hayden Town Manager explained that the staff has never really been trained to work together and have always functioned as separate departments. Staff is hoping that the customized training will help the departments to work together.

The town hall will remain open during the training and residents should not experience any delays in service during the one-day training. The training has not yet been scheduled officially but will be scheduled before the end of the year.

The council also voted to purchase 12 SCBA units and a pager system. Both purchases will not exceed $18,500 total. Town Staff will also have their pay days changed to Wednesdays. The change will allow the finance department to operate more efficiently.
