Veterans office to seek $2,500 outreach grant; COA allowed to fill assistant cook vacancy
Summary
Kalkaska County authorized a $2,500 Quick Response Grant application for veterans outreach and approved lifting the hiring freeze so the COA may advertise and fill an Assistant Cook position; both actions were recorded as consensus motions.
The board authorized the Kalkaska County Department of Veterans Affairs to apply for a $2,500 Quick Response Grant from the Grand Traverse Regional Community Foundation to support outreach and advertising aimed at increasing veterans' awareness of local services.
VA Counselor Melanie Pauch presented the request; Commissioner Robert Baldwin moved approval and Commissioner Jeff Sieting supported the motion. The minutes state: "The grant funds are to be used for outreach initiatives and advertising opportunities to increase awareness of services for the Veterans in Kalkaska County." The board approved the application by consensus with no opposition recorded.
Separately, COA Director Jodi Magee asked to fill an Assistant Cook vacancy. Commissioners approved lifting the hiring freeze to allow the COA to advertise and fill the Assistant Cook position (motion by Sieting, supported by Matley), again recorded with no opposition. The board did not specify a hiring timeline in the minutes but directed staff to proceed with advertising under the lifted freeze.
