Delegation signs MOU to keep UNH Cooperative Extension co-funded in Strafford County
Summary
The Strafford County legislative delegation approved a memorandum of understanding renewing county co-funding for the UNH Cooperative Extension office; interim director Amy Voer introduced herself and explained the renewal is a routine six‑year agreement under state RSA.
The Strafford County legislative delegation approved a memorandum of understanding with the University of New Hampshire Cooperative Extension that renews local co‑funding for the county extension office.
Amy Voer, introduced in the meeting as interim director of UNH Cooperative Extension, told delegates the MOU is a statutory, routine renewal that is not itself a budget appropriation. She said the agreement has been signed by the county commissioner chair and that the MOU confirms continuation of extension services in Strafford County.
Why it matters: Cooperative extension provides county-level educational and outreach services to residents and municipal partners; maintaining local co‑funding preserves those in‑county services. The delegation treated the MOU as a routine, recurring matter required by state RSA and approved the chairman’s authorization to sign.
Procedure: Delegates noted the MOU is typically renewed every six years pursuant to state requirements; the chairman and delegation recorded their approval and indicated the chairman would sign the document and return it for the record.
Next steps: The chairman will sign the MOU and the delegation will retain the signed document in the meeting records.
