Board approves travel-date amendment for disease-intervention staff after airline delay
Summary
Elkhart County commissioners on May 27 approved an amendment extending travel for a disease intervention specialist and communicable disease nurse from June 2 to June 6 after an airline delayed return flights from a Phoenix conference.
The Elkhart County Board of Commissioners on May 27 approved an amendment to previously authorized travel for a disease intervention specialist and a communicable disease nurse whose return flight from a Phoenix conference was delayed.
Health Administrator Andrew Biles told the board the airline had pushed the return flight back and requested changing the approved travel dates from June 2 to June 6. A commissioner joked, “if you could only control the airlines, you wouldn't have to come back,” before moving approval. The motion passed unanimously.
Why it matters: The amendment updates previously authorized travel dates to reflect airline scheduling changes; it was recorded as an administrative approval with no additional conditions.
The board recorded the unanimous approval and the meeting proceeded to other items.
