Summary
The Elkhart City board amended and approved its agenda to remove a grievance hearing after a board member said the union was not aware the matter had been placed on the agenda.
A member of the Elkhart City Board moved to amend the meeting agenda to remove a grievance hearing after indicating the union had not been made aware the item was listed.
“I would enter chain a motion to amend the agenda to remove the grievance hearing as apparently, the union wasn't aware it was placed on the agenda,” the presiding official said. Another board member responded, “So moved,” and the presiding official called for a second; the presiding official then announced, “All in favor. Aye. Motion passes.”
Following the amendment, the board voted to approve the amended agenda. The roll call recorded three members present, one absent and one vacancy. The transcript does not record a roll-call tally by name for these votes.
The transcript does not contain further discussion of the merits of the grievance or any statements from union representatives; the removal was presented as a procedural correction and no hearing occurred at the meeting.
