NDSU Extension’s request to make a part-time assistant full-time tabled for budget review

Nelson County Commission · March 1, 2026

Summary

Representatives from NDSU Extension asked the Nelson County Commission to convert a part-time assistant to full-time; commissioners tabled the request pending further budget discussion at a future meeting.

Traci Lagein and Lesley Lubenow of NDSU Extension appeared at the June 18 Nelson County Commission meeting to request converting a part-time assistant position to a full-time role. The request was presented during the meeting’s presentations and personnel discussion, and commissioners agreed to table the matter pending review of county budget implications at the next meeting.

The transcript records that the commission did not vote on the staffing change; commissioners said the matter would be taken up again when the county’s 2025 budget discussions resume. The transcript does not specify the proposed salary, effective date, or estimated fiscal impact of the conversion.

The tabling preserves the commission’s ability to consider the request alongside broader budget priorities. The commission asked county staff to include the item in subsequent budget deliberations so commissioners can evaluate the cost implications before making a final decision.
