Loading...
Summary
The Chippewa County Department of Veterans Affairs Committee met Jan. 28, 2025, but lacked a quorum and conducted no formal business; consideration of MVAA grant distributions totaling $1,973.82 was deferred to the Feb. 25 meeting.
The Chippewa County Department of Veterans Affairs Committee convened at the Chippewa Courthouse in Sault Ste. Marie on Jan. 28, 2025, but Chairman Jim Shogren said a quorum was not present and no formal business was transacted. Weather was cited in the minutes as a factor in the low turnout.
Without a quorum, the committee did not vote on agenda items that had been scheduled for the meeting. The minutes show members informally discussed upcoming training for Veteran Service Officers, the number of veterans who had visited the office and recent phone traffic. The minutes also note discussion of new veteran board members, naming Robert Savoie and Damon Lieurance, but state all discussions were informal and no policy decisions were made.
The minutes list MVAA grant distributions totaling $1,973.82, with the full amount allocated to a "Part-time Compliance Officer/Project Director." Because no formal business could be transacted, the minutes state the distributions "will be reviewed and voted on during the February monthly meeting." The committee recorded the next meeting date as Tuesday, Feb. 25, 2025, at 4:00 p.m.
A motion to adjourn was made, and the meeting ended at 4:25 p.m.; the minutes emphasize that no votes or formal approvals occurred at this session.
