Extension schedules July farm‑to‑table event; county cleanup reported 683 vehicles and auction netted $36,095
Summary
At the June meeting the county extension invited the court to a July 10 farm‑to‑table 4‑H event and announced staff hiring timelines; the court received county cleanup figures (683 vehicles, 1,166 tires, 22 semi roll‑offs) and an auction revenue report of $36,095 with an approximate $10,000 credited to County General.
County extension staff and court officials provided routine operations updates at the June 2025 Pope County quorum court meeting, including a public invitation, hiring news and results from a recent county cleanup and online auction.
Ashley Flickinger, county extension agent and 4‑H director, said the extension office is scheduling interviews for a Family and Consumer Sciences (FCS) position following Pam’s departure; interviews are expected July 11. Flickinger also invited the court to the office’s farm‑to‑table 4‑H event on July 10 and asked justices to RSVP for a post‑event meal. Brandon Yarberry, the county agriculture agent, attended as support.
The court received county cleanup results: office figures reported 683 vehicles participated during the cleanup week, 1,166 tires were turned in, and county crews hauled 22 semi roll‑off containers of refuse. The meeting noted that the October cleanup will move to the Gum Log location.
The clerk reported an online public auction in May that netted $36,095 for the county. The transcript recorded a distribution described in garbled numeric form on the record; the meeting noted approximately $10,000 would be credited to the County General fund with the remainder to County Road (the transcript’s precise breakdown was unclear). The clerk indicated proceeds will be deposited to the appropriate funds.
The court also noted in open session notification of destroyed EMS computers that were disposed of in accordance with county policy.
Ending: Extension staff encouraged participation and RSVPs for July events; administrative follow‑up includes hiring interviews and standard accounting entries for auction proceeds.
