Board of County Commissioners Meeting Minutes - Final November 5, 2024 <br />Proclamation on the agenda. <br />Captain Wolf emphasized that Florida's Veterans Council (Council) was unique. In <br />partnership with the Veterans Administration (VA) and the Veterans Services <br />Organization (VSO), it offered daily assistance and counseling to veterans in need and <br />transportation to appointments. In Indian River County, 177,000 veterans benefit <br />from collaborative partnerships essential to the Council's mission. <br />Ms. Zudans thanked the Board for the Proclamation. <br />Community Services Director Cindy Emerson highlighted the Veterans Council's <br />achievements over the past year, including a 40% increase in forms prepared for the <br />VA and a 10% rise in appeals submitted. Through the reorganization and walk-in <br />support on Wednesdays and Thursdays, the Council now served 17% more clients, <br />with an overall wait time for inquiries reduced to 35 days. In support of Veterans, the <br />Council was participating in Operation Greenlight by turning the lights green and <br />encouraging all civilians to participate. <br />Read and presented by Commissioner Moss <br />6.
