Veterans Assistance Commission requests additional $25,000

The Veterans Assistance Commission of Boone County requested a second $25,000 advance from the Boone County Board at tonight’s Admin Subcommittee

It submitted the accounting of the first $25,000 shown below.  The entire Boone County Board must approve the next payment at the board meeting on August 21, 2013.

Several items were explained at tonight’s meeting. 

  • The “Cash, Expense” was a one time cash withdrawal to pay purchases of office items at Office Depot and Best Buy.  These institutions refused payment by check/debit because the account was too new for bank verification.
  • “VAC Operational Expenses” ($486.58) were actually payments to pay indigent veterans’ rent and utility bills.
  • The second $25,000 advance is anticipated to cover operations until November 30, 2013.
  • Since opening in July, 25-30 clients have been seen.

Veterans Assistance Commission of Boone County is located at 175 Cadillac Court, Suite C, Belvidere, Il 61008.
