Purpose

to create one full time (1.0) Veterans Benefit Specialist position for the VSO.

Background

Background: The Sauk County Veterans Service Office currently consists of one Administrative Assistant (half time) 2 veteran Benefit Specialists, one Assistant CVSO, and one CVSO,

Making the half time position a full time position, is needed to maintain current level of service that is provided to 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 full-time position exists.
