New Boone County Veterans Commission plans to open June first | Belvidere Daily Republican

Written by Bob Balgemann

Greg Kelm, president of the commission’s 10-member board of directors, appeared before the finance committee with the request for $25,000.

He said he couldn’t give the committee a business plan or how much money the commission would need each month. “We don’t know how many veterans will come through the door,” he said.

Davis’ first paycheck will be cut June 15, with the other immediate need being office supplies. Office rent is $300 a month.

Kelm assured the county that the commission would “provide a (financial) report every month. We will show where every dime has gone. We will be very transparent.”

There is a 10-member board of directors and committee member Cathy Ward asked if board meetings were open to the public?

Kelm answered, “No.”
