Veterans officer warns training fund lost; board agrees to submit Gerstacker phase 2
Summary
Veterans Affairs Director Ken Roberts said a training grant used for annual certification "is now gone and will not be coming back," and the board authorized submitting a Gerstacker Grant phase 2 for the Veterans Honor Park to Sen. Elissa Slotkin's office.
Ken Roberts, Gladwin County's Veterans Affairs department head, told the board the training fund grant his office has used to pay for yearly certification has been discontinued and "is now gone and will not be coming back," requiring the department to budget for certification costs going forward.
Separately, City Administrator Kim Hines asked the board to allow submission of phase 2 of a Gerstacker Grant for the Veterans Honor Park to Senator Elissa Slotkin's office; Commissioner Tom Winarski moved and Commissioner Mike Visnaw seconded the request, and the motion carried. The minutes record authorization to submit the phase-2 grant application by the county before the stated Friday deadline.
Roberts thanked county staff, including Kim Hines, for work on funding and grants connected to the Veterans Honor Park. The minutes do not list the requested grant amount or a project timeline; further details would be in the grant application or follow-up filings.
