Board tables decision on Veterans Affairs staffing while awaiting state grant response
Summary
Ken Roberts, Veterans Affairs director, told commissioners he has not received a State response on a county services grant that would fund a second position. The board discussed reducing that position but tabled the matter until the Veterans Committee reviews the issue.
Veterans Affairs director Ken Roberts told the Gladwin County Board on Feb. 10 that he has not yet received a response from the State on a county services grant he applied for; the grant, if awarded, would reimburse the county for a second position in his office.
Roberts said that if the State denies the grant, "there will be no reimbursement to the county for that second position." Board members discussed temporarily reducing the position until the State's decision is known but made no motion. The matter was tabled for further discussion after being presented to the Veterans Committee.
The minutes record the issue as unresolved and note no vote or timeline for the Veterans Committee review; commissioners asked for the item to return to the board after committee consideration.
