Waupaca CVSO's Zoom Meeting

The Waupaca County Veteran Service Commission meeting was held August 17, 2026 (the metadata lists August 18). The commission reviewed a preliminary office budget, which the members approved by motion, subject to finalizing the figures with the budget liaison before submission to the Finance Committee. The presentation included an expected $16,600 in state intergovernmental grant revenue; no total budget figure or specific contract award amount was stated. The office budget covers existing subscriptions and contracted services, including Adobe, VetraSpec (now owned by Tyler Technologies), secure document shredding, Canva, and radio outreach. The commission also entered closed session to consider grant applications and budget and disbursement reports; no closed-session decisions are available in the transcript.

The office reported replacing worn keyboards and mice and discussed its aging, 12-year-old copier, which may be considered for replacement after staff return to the permanent courthouse office—potentially in a future budget, around two years out. The office also discussed a possible additional cell phone and wireless backup service, and adding another limited-term employee for vacation, office, and event coverage; the director said funding was available for the staffing plan, and members expressed support, but no formal procurement or hiring vote was recorded. No new contracts, vendors, or purchases were awarded at this meeting.
