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
educational credit from other municipal training. The four levels of achievement include:
• Level I – Achievement in City Governance;
• Level II – Excellence in City Governance;
• Level III – Master of City Governance; and
• Certified Municipal Officer, the highest designation.
“The COTC program provides a variety of training that better equips our city leaders across the state to
serve their local communities. With this achievement and the amount of training it represents, citizens are
the real winners because our communities are reaping the benefits of better informed leaders,” said J.D.
Chaney, KLC Executive Director/CEO. “This is an impressive feat and a testament to the dedication of these
city officials.”
