Calhoun County Civil Counsel, Nancy Mullet, attended the meeting for the purposes of providing both clarification to legal questions as they pertain to the role of the Committee and direction for the institution of Veterans Affairs Committee bylaws. Ms. Mullet and the Committee members engaged in an in-depth discussion involving a multiplicity of topics and issues relative to the purpose and scope of bylaws. Some of the topics and issues included: the number of Committee members; the need to address emergency situations relative to the Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Relief Fund and the Open Meetings Act; the authority possessed by the Veterans Affairs Committee and the County Board of Commissioners relative to office staff personnel; the role of the union contract relative to the Service Officer position; etc. To assist in Ms. Mullet’s explanation of bylaws, she furnished a number of examples that govern other agencies. In the end, both the Committee and Ms. Mullet agreed that the level of intelligent communication between she and the Committee is both useful and utterly necessary. Ms. Mullet stated that her intention is to attend the monthly Veterans Affairs Committee meetings at least thorough the end of the year.

The purpose of the plaque was to acknowledge the excellent working relationship that the Calhoun County Veterans’ Affairs office has developed with both Chapter 110 and the Military Order of the Purple Heart service office in Detroit.

Meting adjourned at 11:15 A.M.
