# Elkhart County Live Meeting

The Elkhart County Board of Commissioners held a meeting on September 21, 2026, addressing several procurement and budget-related items. They approved out-of-state travel for Courtney Matthews to attend the National Healthcare Coalition Preparedness Conference, aimed at improving regional healthcare coalition efforts. The board also approved the continuation of the Justice Partners Addiction Response Grant for 2027, which funds a probation officer position serving the drug court, noting that this grant is expected to end next year. Additionally, the commissioners approved the 2027 Title 6 Implementation Plan for INDOT, which updates coordination dates and plan years. A significant procurement action included approving an independent contractor agreement with Halt LLC, a credit card processing company specializing in government services, to consolidate and simplify county credit card processing. The meeting also covered zoning changes and planning matters but did not include further procurement decisions. Public comments raised concerns about compliance with state law regarding oaths of office and transparency in local government proceedings.
