The record. The Commissioners' Agenda Center posts each Monday meeting's agenda and minutes as born-digital PDFs through its ViewFile API; the window's 156 files (October 2025 through October 2026) were downloaded and read whole. The Board meets at 123 5th Avenue North, Okanogan - "The Okanogan County Board of Commissioners met for a regular meeting at 123 5th Avenue North, Okanogan, Washington on September 28, 2026 with Chairman, Commissioner Andy Hover Dist. #2, Member, Commissioner Nick Timm, Dist. #1; and the Clerk of the Board, Stacy Nicole McClellan, present. Vice-Chairman, Commissioner Jon Neal Dist. #3 absent." - with TEAMS remote access. The veteran items: - June 15, 2026 (agenda): the county calendar lists "June 30 - Veterans Advisory Board - CMRS Hearing Room." - September 28, 2026 (proceedings): "Update - Veterans Relief Board - Thomas Even, James Cheek, and Dale White. Mr. Even reported that the recent conference in Wenatchee went well and they learned a lot. He stated that the Board would continue its work serving veterans in Okanogan County. He also noted that the Board would not conduct outreach to Ferry County; however, all veterans are welcome to access services in Okanogan County. Mr. Even reported that fourth-quarter benefits totaled $302,038.57 and that year-to-date veterans' benefits totaled $1,217,371.52. Mr. White stated that service organizations and Okanogan County Community Action Council (OCCAC) received funding through the Veterans Relief Fund. Commissioner Hover discussed the process by which those funds are distributed through the County. Mr. White expressed a desire for greater participation and responsiveness from other agencies. Commissioner Hover responded that the Board would further review the matter." No veteran benefit was adopted, narrowed or repealed; the item is the relief board's report. The county's Veterans Relief Fund is the RCW 73.08 programme the Washington entry describes - the county's own fund, distributed to veterans directly and to the service organizations and OCCAC programmes that reach them.
