Board approves $106,177.95 veterans service agreement with position upgrade
Summary
The board approved a CY26 Service Agreement for $106,177.95 with Ingham and Clinton County Department of Veteran Affairs that includes upgrading a Veterans Benefits Counselor position to improve retention and service continuity.
The Clinton County Board of Commissioners approved a CY26 Service Agreement totaling $106,177.95 with the Ingham and Clinton County Department of Veteran Affairs and approved a position upgrade for the Veterans Benefits Counselor role. Amy Pocan outlined that the existing per-case billing model no longer reflected full service delivery costs and that turnover in a grant-funded position had disrupted continuity; the revised agreement aims to improve cost recovery and staff retention.
Committee recommendation to approve the service agreement was moved by Commissioner Showers and seconded by Commissioner Andrews; the full board concurred with a roll-call vote recorded as six ayes and one absent (Commissioner Fickes). The minutes record the dollar amount and the personnel change but do not provide the detailed salary schedule for the upgraded position.
