Purpose

To create a .5 FTE Administrative Support position for the Sauk County Veterans Service Office.

Background

Background: The Sauk County Veterans Service Office currently consists of 2 veteran Benefit Specialists, one Assistant CVSO, and one CVSO, and have for the past 3 years been supplemented with a part-time person from the Experience Works (EW) program.  The EW person finished up with program September 2017 and we have not been able to replace them through that program. Current and projected case load depends on having someone to handle phones and other projects in the department in order to maintain the current level of service. Making this position a county employee would further enhance the positive impact on this department and the veterans and their families that we serve. This will result in more federal dollars flowing into Sauk County, as well as reducing the burden on other county resources and departments.   The Personnel and Finance Committees have reviewed the position request and determined that the need for a half-time Administrative Support position exists.
