Joshua Bosman introduced himself as the new Scott County veteran service officer and said he was filling in for Jonathan while the latter is on vacation. "I'm Joshua Bosman. I'm the new, Scott County veteran service office," he said, and described hours and staffing: the office is staffed Monday–Friday with staggered schedules between two veterans service officers.
Bosman explained the office keeps doors locked to protect veterans’ privacy during sensitive consultations and said the office has limited staffing (approximately 1.5 FTE) and a backlog; he and council members discussed outreach options, such as working with local VFW and American Legion posts and increasing print and online outreach to let veterans know services are available locally.
