The commission authorized the Ellis County Health Department to close March 30–April 1 so staff may attend the 2026 Governor’s Public Health Conference. Motion passed 2–0; no budgetary or staffing contingency details were recorded in the minutes.
Health Department Director Melissa Miller asked the commission for permission to close the county Health Department to allow staff attendance at the 2026 Governor’s Public Health Conference.
Commissioner Nathan Leiker moved to allow the closure Monday, March 30 through Wednesday, April 1; Chair Neal Younger seconded and the motion passed by voice vote, 2–0. The minutes record no additional contingency plans for essential services while the office is closed.
The transcript does not list conference costs, substitutes, or how the department will cover routine services during the closure; those operational details were not recorded in the meeting minutes and would require direct follow-up with Health Department staff.
