Adoption of Minutes: Motion by Zoerb, 2 nd by Standafer to adopt the May 6, 2003
minutes. Carried.
Veterans' Service Officer Report: Lorin Sather reported receiving the $11,500 grant
which they get each year. He also received a $7,150 volunteer driver grant a month ago,
which is figured on a 5 cent per mile reimbursement for each trip a volunteer takes a Vet
client to the Vet's hospital. 854 trips were made by volunteers last year, aiding some
200+ Vets. Volunteer drivers only receive 36 cents a mile for each trip. They use their
own vehicle and no other compensation is received.
Sather is waiting on purchasing software to do Vet claims. He is hoping the State will
give us some sort of a break in cost if our software is compatible with the State's. The
State and the County would be sharing information and not having to duplicate work.
The County would be doing a good share of the State's work by entering clients' claim
information.
It has also been determined that exposure to Agent Orange during the Vietnam War has
been one of the leading causes of diabetes in War Vets.
Legislative Issues: Whiting had nothing to report as far as the progress of the State
budget.
WCA is in favor of adding a charge to cell phones users for 911 service. Controversy on
this issue could cause it to fail at the State level.
Supr. Zoerb asked if the committee could arrange some type of workshop for County
Board Suprs. to help them better understand County financing. Chair Malick said it
would be looked into.
Rules and By -Laws: The Committee discussed date changes and day /night meetings for
County Board sessions. Motion by Standafer to present a Resolution to County Board for
approval making May, June, (no July meeting), August, September and October evening
County Board sessions. 2nd by Zoerb. Carried.
Another consideration was to change the October County Board Budget Meeting date
from Tuesday, October 28"' to Thursday, October 30`
Meeting adjourned at 10:20 A.M.
Jan Zoerb, Secretary
