Veterans office outlines outreach, office hours and Memorial Day plans; budget advanced
Summary
Veterans services representative described expanded outreach (office hours at the Cooper Center, 30/60/90-day follow-ups for older veterans) and logistics for upcoming Memorial Day activities; the committee advanced the office's $248,659 budget by straw vote.
Seth Bai, representing the Veterans Office, outlined outreach and service adjustments aimed at increasing access to benefits for older veterans and caregiver constituencies. He said the office will hold regular in-person office hours at the Cooper Center to reach veterans who cannot visit during daytime hours, and the office plans a 30/60/90-day outreach cadence to ensure veterans receive benefits and assistance.
Bai also reviewed plans and staffing for Memorial Day weekend events, including the parade and wreath-laying ceremonies, and discussed volunteer and hydration plans for warm-weather events. Committee members thanked the office for its responsiveness and approved a straw vote on the veterans budget ($248,659).
