Summary

The Veterans Service officer said she is expanding scheduled hours to meet a state minimum and asked for a modest salary adjustment; commissioners endorsed the change and asked staff to finalize the amount in the budget packet.

The county's Veterans Service officer described a part-time schedule (three days a week) and said she planned to increase weekly hours to meet a state-mandated minimum service level. Commissioners reviewed the hourly-pay calculation and concluded the proposed change was reasonable given local needs.

The officer said she had been working extra hours and that increasing scheduled hours to meet the state minimum would modestly raise the annual salary.
