Veterans service officer and county extension deliver quarterly reports; commissioners discuss duty time and outreach
Summary
Veterans Service Officer Brad Huber reported quarterly activity and raised scheduling concerns about attending veterans’ funerals during work hours; county extension agents summarized youth, gardening and health programs and upcoming events.
Brad Huber, the county’s Veterans Service Officer, presented his quarterly report and told commissioners his office has seen 44 veterans since January with a range of casework and training completed during the quarter. Huber said he attends veterans’ funerals frequently as a member of local veterans organizations and asked the board for feedback because some funerals have occurred during his regular working hours; commissioners told Huber they did not object and characterized funeral attendance as part of his role representing veterans.
County extension agents presented the quarterly extension report. Extension agents described recent school and 4‑H activities including composting and planting programs for elementary students, agronomy judging and a spring garden workshop that drew about 40 attendees. Extension staff also described health and caregiver webinars, pesticide and fumigation trainings, and upcoming 4‑H contests and county plot tours run in partnership with the Carrington Research Center. Agents noted spring and summer programming that focuses on youth, nutrition and health with statewide webinar participation for some online offerings.
Ending: Commissioners thanked the presenters and asked that departmental expectations and staff scheduling be clarified if necessary; no policy changes or budget actions were requested during the presentations.
