Discuss , consider and take appropriate action on the approval of Memorandum of Understanding between Department of Veterans Affairs, Austin Vet Center #703 and Williamson County, Texas (For Veteran Affairs In-Office Support).

The Austin Vet Center #703 provides psychological counseling and support to Veterans of Williamson County and surrounding counties. Their office currently exists at the Austin Outpatient VA Clinic in far South Austin. This MOU provides an opportunity for the Veterans of Williamson County to seek psychological counseling closer to home on a continuing basis, in this case, every Tuesday, during regular office hours for Williamson County Veteran Services at their office located at 100 Wilco Way, Suite V101. Since we currently have additional office space that was allocated for future growth of the office, it is deemed to be a good service to provide for these veterans. If the services are more accessible, it is more likely that the Veterans will seek help and follow up with the services provided. Veteran Services requests approval of this MOU.
