Mike Farmer, executive director of the Butler County Veterans Service Commission, presented a $4.47 million 2027 operating budget — an ~11.8% increase from 2026 — citing $250,000 for leased office space, growth in dental vouchers (from 59 total in FY25 to 214 issued as of Sept. 8) and a $2.95 million contracted-services bucket that covers direct veteran assistance. Farmer also described 'Operation 3 Weeks,' a temporary overtime program to reduce appointment wait times (authorizes overtime through 03/15/2027) and said personnel headcount (15.5 FTE) will be maintained.
