Board rolls over $17,476 grant for veteran services to fund waiting-area upgrades and outreach
Summary
Veteran services asked the board to roll over $17,476 from a $20,000 NC Department of Military and Veterans Affairs grant to fund office furniture, advertising and outreach; the board approved the rollover and staff said the grant was extended to Dec. 31.
A veteran-services representative asked the board to roll over $17,476 from an awarded $20,000 grant from the North Carolina Department of Military and Veterans Affairs. "Back in April of this year, the veteran services department awarded a $20,000 grant from North Carolina Department of Military and Veterans Affairs... We are asking for the amount of $17,476 to be rolled over to this fiscal year's budget," the representative said, noting the grant was extended through Dec. 31.
Staff described planned uses including revamping office furniture in the waiting area, expanding advertising and outreach to let veterans know where services are located, and other client-facing improvements. Commissioners asked whether specific advertising venues were chosen and encouraged prudent stewardship of unused funds. The board moved and approved the rollover by roll call.
