Commissioners approve Purdue Extension memorandum with SWICAC, add 60-day termination clause
Summary
The DuBois County commissioners approved signing a memorandum of understanding between the county and SWICAC for Purdue Extension space, including a 60-day termination clause and requirement that the county provide proof of liability insurance. Rent is $1,000 per month and staff will coordinate final copy routing and signatures.
The DuBois County Board of Commissioners voted to sign a memorandum of understanding (MOU) between the county and SWICAC that formalizes a lease arrangement for Purdue Extension space.
County staff said the MOU was updated to include clauses discussed previously by the board, notably a sentence mirroring an earlier bullet item that allows termination of the agreement with 60 days'notice "when appropriate," to reflect concerns about child safety or employee misconduct at the leased facility. The MOU sets rent at $1,000 per month.
Commissioners asked the county's representative to provide proof of the county's liability insurance to SWICAC; the county confirmed staff would provide the documentation. County officials said they will return an original signed copy after SWICAC completes its review.
Why it matters: The Purdue Extension office provides local education and outreach; the MOU clarifies the county's obligations and gives both parties a termination path for safety or misconduct issues.
Details and next steps: Commissioners voted in favor of the MOU. Staff will deliver the signed document to SWICAC, provide the requested insurance certificates, and bring the original back after the partner's meeting.
Ending: The agreement was signed by county representatives at the meeting and will be routed to SWICAC for finalization.
