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 the Admin subcommittee 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. Phone 815 544 6464
Although, there maybe some questions this request should be approved unanimously. In April voters approved a .03 real estate tax for this commission. The money is an advance against the commission’s 2014 levy. The 2014 levy for the commission is anticipated to be approximately $280,000. Several additional advances may be requested before tax receipts are available in June 2014.—Bill P
