§ 2-280. Use of training services by outside agencies.
Houston Public Works shall maintain one or more training facilities at which job related training shall be provided to personnel of the department and of other city departments. Priority shall be given in all training courses conducted by Houston Public Works to city employees. To the extent that any excess capacity may exist in any class or training course after city needs have been accommodated, Houston Public Works may allow persons who are employed by other political subdivisions, persons who are employed by construction contractors and other persons to attend the class or training course. The Director of Houston Public Works may adopt procedures regarding the offering of training to persons who are not city employees. The Director of Houston Public Works or the director's designee shall establish training fees, registration fees, lab fees, printing fees, and other related fees for any training furnished to persons who are not city employees. The fees shall be payable for each person other than a city employee attending each class. The fees shall be based upon the city's cost of providing the services and shall be remitted to the city treasury. In addition to the imposition of the fees authorized above for training provided to persons who are not city employees, the Director of Houston Public Works may impose interdepartmental fees to recover the Houston Public Works costs when training is provided to city personnel who are assigned to other departments.
The fee amounts are stated for this provision in the city fee schedule.
