Mrs. Deionne Carpenter moved to enter into a Cooperative Endeavor Agreement with the Louisiana Department of Veterans Affairs for 2025, at a cost of $859 per month to the Jury. Karen Tyler explained that the monthly amount increased from $807 and emphasized the local economic impact: "This allows Winn Parish to have a Veteran’s office here in the Courthouse," she said, citing an FY23 estimate of $5,861,000 in compensation and pension benefits for an identified veteran population of 789.
