Veterans services requests small increases for training and lease amid office move
Summary
Veterans services staff told the court they need modest increases for dues, travel and training to support two full‑time employees and to cover a slight lease increase as West Texas Counseling and Guidance consolidates offices; staff said one employee will attend conferences in person and the other online.
Nate, a veteran services staff member, told the Tom Green County court the department is asking for modest budget increases for dues and subscriptions, travel and training, and office lease changes. "Sir, I'll start off with the 1st increase, and that was to dues in subscriptions," Nate said, adding the travel request was to ensure one full‑time employee could attend training in person while another attends online.
Nate said the department has two full‑time employees and a standing agreement to provide coverage in Reynolds County on Thursdays. He also explained a small lease increase reflects West Texas Counseling and Guidance consolidating offices and moving veterans services from the sixth floor to available space on the third floor; staff have contacted the landlord for rate details and said the projected cost is within the budgeted amount.
