Lincoln County approves applying for $7,500 Veterans Service Officer grant
Summary
The county voted unanimously to apply for a $7,500 Veterans Service Officer grant after the VSO reported $13,509 in office expenses this year, including a computer replacement. Commissioners asked the VSO to visit local Legion and VFW posts to increase outreach.
Lincoln County commissioners voted June 2 to authorize applying for the 2027 Veterans Service Officer (VSO) grant in the amount of $7,500. Kenton Stanek, the county VSO, told the board his office recorded $13,509 in expenses this year — an amount elevated by the replacement of a county VSO computer — and that applying the grant would leave the office with a remaining balance of $6,009.
Commissioners pressed Stanek to increase outreach to local veteran organizations; Commissioner Dean Nielsen asked whether Stanek visits the county’s Legions and VFW posts, and Stanek “was happy to do that.” The motion to approve applying for the $7,500 grant was made by Commissioner Corey Sik, seconded by Mic VanDeVere, and passed unanimously.
The board did not adopt a budget amendment at the meeting; Stanek’s request was for authorization to apply for the grant. The minutes list the VSO office expense categories as advertising, computer replacement, meetings and trainings, and office supplies.
