Veteran services officer asks county to make office full-time after serving 250 veterans
Summary
Veteran Services Officer Nick Pagragan told commissioners the office has served over 250 veterans since April and that the part-time staff cannot keep up; he requested the office be open full time for more consistent services and the board will revisit when absent commissioner is available.
Veteran Services Officer Nick Pagragan asked the Dubois County Commissioners on June 1 to authorize full-time operations for the Veteran Services Office, saying the office has assisted more than 250 veterans since his April hire and is currently handling a full-time workload with part-time staff.
Pagragan told the board that making the office full-time would provide stability and more consistent service to the county’s veteran population. Commissioners did not take immediate action and said they would follow up on the request when Commissioner Chad A. Blessinger is available.
No specific fiscal changes or implementation details were provided at the meeting.
