Commissioners keep travel and training approval process after debate over board oversight

Commissioner Doug proposed amendments to the county travel and training expense guidelines that would require board approval for specialty, post‑certification classes and authorize the county to pay travel, training and lodging costs for the 10 core classes that lead to commissioner certification. "Those 10 classes that ACCG requires ... will be incurred by the county," Doug said during the discussion, arguing the change would curb ad‑hoc signups.
