The Advanced Academy was held September 21 & 22 in Owatonna with a record turnout of 62 participants. The training focused on all aspects of Data Practices. It was great to see so many members take advantage of this specialized training. I urge you to plan on attending the 2018 MCFOA Conference at the Doubletree by Hilton in Bloomington on March 20-23, 2018. The Conference Planning Committee has been diligently working to serve you up another exceptional conference. Do you need some new training opportunities to add to your “playbook”? Here’s a teaser of the preconference sessions being held on Tuesday, March 20:

All Day session: Athenian Dialogue with Tami Kelly (book - waiting for approval from IIMC)

Half Day sessions:

Courageous Conversations about Diversity/Inclusion with Ellie Krug Tour of Bloomington’s Water Treatment Plant Intermediate Word with Bob Bruce New City Clerk Orientation and Election Administration with Sandy Engdahl and Dan Buchholtz

The Thursday night banquet will include dinner followed by entertainment with Sassy Lassy. Everyone will have fun playing TV game shows like Family Feud and Minute to Win It. We’ll pit region-against-region for an MCFOA World Series! If your region shirt looks dated or faded, or if you don’t yet have a shirt in your region color, consider ordering a baseball jersey in your to match the theme of the conference. Pricing is low and the quality is high. Watch for ordering information to come out along with the conference brochure in early 2018. Member Spotlight: Glen Pederson (City of Benson) shared that his favorite player from A League of Their Own is Tom Hanks. He personally relates best to Kit (actress Lori Petty). Glen said, “Growing up with older brothers, I was frustrated often by trying to do things well or better than them. Having a younger brother who was trying to compete against me was exasperating too. Our relationships with family, friends, and coworkers is not a game or a race or a contest. It’s about supporting and encouraging each other to do their best and celebrating their accomplishments.” Well said Glen! The next MCFOA Board Meeting is scheduled on December 1 at the City of Minnetrista. Board meetings are open to members and the Board welcomes your feedback. Meeting packets will be posted on the MCFOA website to help keep you informed. http://www.mcfoa.org/ Best wishes and holiday greetings to everyone!

Happy fall from Region 1. Summer has come to an end and I am hearing many residents comment on when they are leaving to go south. The Region 1 clerks gathered in Battle Lake on September 22 to learn about Cobra from Bill Singer and Al Roth of the AT Group, and to take a tour of the Prospect House & Civil War Museum. Our next meeting will be on November 17 in Barnesville discussing downtown revitalization and Facebook.

WOW, where did the summer go? I hope you are able to get out of the office and enjoy the past few days with the warmer temperatures and beautiful fall colors. On Thursday September 14, the City of Dassel hosted our Region III meeting. The topics covered were Budgeting & Cobra. Clifton Larson Allen presented the budgeting portion of our training and the AT Group did a great job on the cobra portion. I had the privilege of attending the MCFOA Advanced Academy in Owatonna in September. What a great experience! The information presented was outstanding to say the least! Stacie Christensen, Director of the Information Policy Analysis Division, MN Department of Administration Data Practices & Personal Data, presented information on a government entity’s legal duties in regard to government data, legal requirements, and policies and procedures required by law on the handling of public & private data. Brett De Wall of Clifton Larson Allen gave a presentation on Information Security and our own Janet Lewis, MCFOA President from the City of Bloomington, and past MCFOA President Deb Mangen from the City of Edina, wrapped the session up with a presentation titled, "to process data requests, large and small". If you ever have the chance to attend the Advanced Academy, do go!!! The education you will receive is invaluable for yourself and for your city! Just a reminder, the 2018 MCFOA Conference is set for March 20 -23, 2018 at the Double Tree in Bloomington, MN. I hope to see you all there as it promises to be a great educational experience as well as a chance for mentoring and to have friendships renewed with other cities from all across Minnesota. Mark your calendar, the 72nd IIMC Annual Conference is being hosting in Norfolk, Virginia on Sunday May 20-23, 2018. Our next Region III Meeting is tentatively being set for December 2017 in Alexandria. Date and speakers are still pending, but I will keep you posted once everything is finalized.

Winter appears to be right around the corner and with it comes the dreaded YEAR END and audits! Add to work stress the commotion from the holidays, and sometimes it gets overwhelming! During this time of the year (and throughout the entire year) do not forget to make time for yourself. Even if it is just a few minutes of quiet time in the office or in your car – do not forget to take care of you during the Holiday and Year End season! In Region II, our training in late October was in Hoyt Lakes and we focused on Asset Management in your Utility with a presentation from MN Rural Water Association. We also discussed Active Shooter Do’s and Don’ts with the East Range Police Department and learned that the more you practice your response to a stressful situation, the better prepared you will be. On November 3 we will discuss unique methods for fostering innovative and collaborative efforts in your city with Victoria Holthaus of Abdo, Eick & Meyers, LLP and Anna Gruber with the National Joint Powers Alliance (NJPA). We are looking for topics for our January training(s), so if you have an idea or something you’ve always wanted to learn more about – let us know!! We love to hear from you and feedback is always appreciated. I can be contacted at the number or email above. Sue Uhrinak, Region II Assistant VP can be reached at 218-335-2238 or via email at casslake@midconetwork.com.

Hello MCFOA members!

As we draw our 2017 educational programming for clerks to a close, I take a look back at the year to prepare our annual report for IIMC. In reviewing 2017, it is exciting to convey that we greeted 62 participants (a record number!) to a very successful Advanced Academy on September 21 and 22 in Owatonna. Our instructors guided attendees through Data Practices & Personnel Data, Information Security, and Data Request issues, all while applying the acquired knowledge with hands-on exercises and practices. Attendees also enjoyed evening informal networking. The Advanced Academy Committee will begin to plan 2018’s event this winter.

Dates are set for the 2018 Institute. The 2018 program will be held April 30 through May 4. Please note that 2018’s Institute will be held at the Holiday Inn in St. Cloud. SCSU staff plans to have the Institute website updated by the end of November. Currently I am working on improvements to the Institute schedule.

If I haven’t yet seen you at one of our educational offerings for clerks, I hope to soon! And don’t forget that St. Cloud State’s Public Administration program provides credit-based offerings. For information on that, please contact the program’s Graduate Director, Dr. Steven Wagner, at mpa-graduate-program@stcloudstate.edu. Enjoy your fall and holiday season, and as always please feel free to reach out to me with ideas or questions!

Best,

Batter up, hear that call. The time has come for one and all to play . . . GAMES! In honor of our “League of Their Own” theme, the upcoming MCFOA Conference will have a six-way bracket that will pit Region against Region. Whether you’re highly coordinated, a fast thinker, a human trivia vault, or just a smart aleck, you can bring glory to your Region’s team.

Sassy Lassy Trivia & Events will lead us in various interactive games, including their version of Family Feud, Minute To Win It, and their brand of pub trivia, which awards points to the teams with the “right” answers, and also to the teams with the most hilarious made-up answers.

Plan to get your head in the game, and your funny bone, too!

Show your pride with Region colors at the 2018 MCFOA Annual Conference!

Wednesday, March 21 is the day to wear your Region’s colors

When you register for the Conference, you will have an opportunity to order a themed jersey in your region color.

Region II - note that your region color has changed from white to GRAY this year. Region III - note that jerseys are not available in purple so maroon will be your jersey color.

Allen Leonard Chesley, 82 of Crookston Minnesota passed away Saturday morning March 11, 2017 at Vibra Hospital in Fargo, ND. Allen leaves behind his loving wife Joyce; his son Jason, and wife Jolene, grandchildren Allen and Chase; his daughter Teresa and husband Brad Barnett; his daughter Carol and husband Bruce Fauquher, grandchildren Jessica and Alyssa; and his daughter Deanna and husband Dan Rattray and granddaughter Annabel. Allen was born to parents Leonard Winnfred Chesley and Bertha (Balding) Chesley on July 12, 1934 in Conway, North Dakota. Allen was baptized and confirmed as an adult at Trinity Lutheran Church in Crookston, MN. Allen graduated High School from the supervised studies program of NDSU in Fargo, North Dakota. Allen then served honorably in the US Army at the Presidio as a weather specialist from 1955 to 1957. He then transferred to the US Army Reserve in Grand Forks North Dakota and served honorably until 1961. He left the US Army at the rank of SP4. During his time in the Army reserves, Allen attended and graduated with an accounting degree from the Aaker’s School of Business in Grand Forks, North Dakota. Allen then married Joyce Irene (Machart) Chesley on August 16, 1958 at Trinity Lutheran Church in Lankin, North Dakota. Initially they lived in Minto, ND where Joyce taught 1st grade. They then moved to Crookston in 1959 and have lived here since. Allen was employed by Knutson Company CPA for five years as an accountant. He then worked for Eickhof Construction Company for 19 years as office manager and then for the city of Crookston as City Clerk Treasurer for 17 years. As a devoted Christian, Allen served as Trinity Lutheran Church treasurer and financial secretary for 30 years and also as an usher and greeter. Allen served the community in all aspects of his life from his normal daily work to the many civic and social organizations supporting the community where he was not afraid to take on leadership roles. Allen joined the Crookston Lions in 1967 and was a very active member. Allen was known as one of the best recruiters for the club and was one of the cornerstone members having served as president in addition to many other positions. Allen coordinated Lions blood drives for many years and co-hosted the Legion drive with Joyce. The Lions honored him this year by naming the blood drive as the Lion’s Allen Chesley Memorial Blood Drive. He was a former President of the municipal clerks and finance association from 1985 - 1992; he was a founding member of the Polk County TRIAD, a member of the City Clerks International from 1985 -1992 and served as board president from 1989-1990 attending the National Conference in Halifax, Nova Scotia. In 2014, Allen was awarded with a Lifetime Member Award from the Crookston Area Chamber of Commerce for demonstrating a lifetime of service to the Crookston Chamber and the community. For more years than we can remember, Allen led the AARP IRS Tax Volunteers supporting those in need of tax assistance. Additionally, Allen was a member of the American Legion, the Eagles and the Elks. Allen served as Ox Cart Days chairman and treasurer for several years and supported the Winter Shows, Friends of the Library, Polk County Historical Association, the Polk County Board of Ageing, the Big Brothers Association, the Crookston Jaycees and as the Golden Link president and secretary treasurer. Allen enjoyed visiting with people at all times and being an active member of all clubs and organizations. Both he and Joyce have been recognized several times by the community for their volunteerism. Allen epitomized what is best in the human spirit. His energy, enthusiasm, good humor and good judgment serve as an inspiration to those with whom he worked and was uplifting to the hundreds of seniors that he helped over the years. In 2005, Allen was recognized as the Outstanding Male Senior Citizen of Polk County. In 2012, the Lions recognized Allen with their highest honor, as a Melvin Jones Fellow for dedicated humanitarian services. In 2014, Allen and Joyce were selected as the Ox Cart Torchlight Parade grand marshals. Most recently, Allen was awarded the US Presidential Lifetime Achievement Award in 2015 for volunteerism. Allen loved all sports, especially as an avid golfer, hunter, fisherman and passionate fan of the Twins and Vikings. He was actively involved in volleyball, racquetball and softball leagues. Allen played with the Inkster Legion baseball team, which were North Dakota State champions for two years. He played softball in Crookston and also managed and coached the Eickhof Express softball team playing along side his son Jason and his daughter Deanna who was the Bat Girl. During his high school years he enjoyed acting in the Conway community plays written and directed by Lloyd Omdahl. Allen is preceded in death by his parents Leonard and Bertha Chesley and his brother Charles Chesley. Allen is also survived by: sisters-in-law; Edythe Chesley, Beulah Borgeson, Ethel Morrison and brother-in-law; Norman Machart. The Memorial Service will be held at Trinity Lutheran Church Sunday August 6th at 2:00 pm, reception follows. Allen will be interned at Fort Snelling National Cemetery in St Paul, Minnesota.
