Adams County commissioners approved a contractual services agreement with Purdue University Extension for 2025 in the amount of $132,680. The county payment will fund three county educators to deliver local programming in 4‑H, youth development, agriculture, natural resources and health and human sciences; each educator will have an individual program focus and will also contribute to statewide programs.
Staff explained the payment covers personnel and a technology allowance for each county educator; Purdue Extension employees receive health and retirement benefits through the university. Commissioners asked for appendix details describing exact services and asked staff to circulate the contract and budget pages for review before signing. One commissioner noted that the amount is similar to previous years and the practice of county participation is regular.
The board approved the motion to authorize the chair's signature and asked the clerk to record the executed agreement.
