Board approves interim veterans director pay: $100 per emergency request
Summary
The Delta County Board approved a temporary compensation rate of $100 per emergency request for the interim Veterans Affairs director; commissioners clarified the scope of duties remains limited.
The Delta County Board of Commissioners approved additional compensation for the interim Veterans Affairs director on Tuesday, authorizing $100 per emergency relief request processed by the interim director.
The finance committee recommended the rate after comparing the county’s prior compensation for committee members who performed similar work. The board approved the recommendation by voice vote.
Commissioners discussed the breadth of the interim director’s duties. Several commissioners clarified the interim appointment was intended to cover emergency-relief determinations; the board did not formally assign broader director duties such as policy writing to the interim appointee. A commissioner noted the Veterans Affairs Committee, under state law, is the body responsible for hiring and policy-setting, and the board said it will follow that statutory structure.
The board also confirmed paperwork and existing Soldiers’ and Sailors’ relief forms will be used for emergency relief determinations. No additional budget amendment was presented at the meeting; commissioners indicated the finance committee reviewed the fiscal basis when recommending the $100-per-request sum.
