Veterans Services seeks restored admin position as $500,000 grant application pending
Summary
Veterans Services Director Samantha Wilson told the Human Services Committee the agency submitted a grant application that could award up to $500,000 and asked the committee to support re-creating a full-time administrative position eliminated during the COVID-19 pandemic; a resolution will be presented next month.
Samantha Wilson, Veterans Services Agency Director, reported a slight decrease in activity tied to a staff vacation and personnel transitions and said the agency submitted a grant application this past Friday that could bring up to $500,000 if approved.
Wilson asked the committee to back re-establishing a full-time administrative position that had been eliminated during the COVID-19 pandemic; the role would handle phones, payroll and vouchers, and general administrative and personnel tasks. Interim County Administrator Mark Humbert told the committee he agreed the current volume of work justifies the position. The committee supported pursuing a resolution to re-create the post next month.
The request does not yet include final job-code or cost details; those will be provided when the resolution is drafted for the Board of Supervisors. No formal vote on the personnel re-creation occurred at the May 4 meeting.
