Summary

NDSU Extension representatives asked Nelson County to fund 25% of a shared Family and Community Wellness Agent position (Steele County to pay 25%, NDSU 50% plus benefits); the board discussed the funding split but took no recorded vote.

Representatives from the NDSU Extension office asked the Nelson County Board of Commissioners May 5 to share a Family and Community Wellness Agent position with Steele County.

Leslie Lubenow and Traci Lagein told the board the proposed arrangement would split salary costs 50/50 with NDSU covering 50% and Nelson and Steele counties each paying 25% plus benefits covered by NDSU. The minutes record the funding split but do not show a formal motion or vote to commit county funds at this meeting.

The item was presented for the board’s consideration; the minutes do not indicate whether staff will prepare a formal agreement, when a vote might occur, or what the start date would be if the counties proceed.

If the board later authorizes county funding, the county’s share would be an ongoing personnel cost requiring budgetary action in a future meeting.
