Nearly 200 city officials from across the state were recognized for their educational achievement during the City Officials Training Center Awards Program, at the 2016 KLC Conference & Expo on October 5, 2016. The City Officials Training Center is a voluntary education program administered by the Kentucky League of Cities. City officials can complete education levels by attending KLC events and by submitting outside training credit from other municipal training. There are three levels of achievement: Level I- Achievement in City Governance; Levels II- Excellence in City Governance; and Level III- Masters of City Governance. Prestonsburg Mayor Les Stapleton received the Level I Achievement in City Governance Award by completing 30 hours of approved training with one hour of ethics training.
