Summary

Following a presentation from Second Mission Alliance about veteran services and a K9 placement program, the council approved a $2,500 special appropriation to the nonprofit by unanimous roll call.

Bill Schwank, representing Second Mission Alliance, briefed the council on July 21 about the nonprofit's work serving veterans, programs that visit nursing homes and place service dogs with disabled veterans, and other community support services.

Schwank described a K9 program that rescues and rehabilitates dogs and places them with veterans, and said the organization had placed four dogs with disabled veterans in recent months. The council placed the nonprofit's resolution on the consent agenda and later approved a $2,500 special appropriation on a roll-call vote. "We appreciate you and we're going to support you guys," one council member said during discussion.

The appropriation was moved, seconded and carried unanimously. No further funding conditions or reporting requirements were stated on the record at the time of the vote.
