Impact analysis
The coordinator position would drop to half-time and the banners program would go unfunded; the Veterans Day event relies on a roughly $50,000 city events allocation.
Veterans who rely on city-funded events and support services if the funding is restored.
Local veterans could lose the resource fair, recognition ceremony, and banners program if the cuts stand.
