Specifically, she was concerned with how the policy requires a two week notification for approval to travel, and many meetings at the Capitol are scheduled last minute. She was also concerned about how the policy was written with regards to documenting trip distance.

Public Works Administrator Tim Eisenbarth informed the commission of the change order at Monday’s meeting.
