Extension Board advances $103,302 2027 budget request, including higher work‑study pay
Summary
The Brookings County Extension Board reviewed and recorded a motion to advance a $103,302 2027 budget request that includes raising the work‑study rate to $17.50, buying two computers for 4‑H assistants and a $5,455 increase to cover travel to the National 4‑H Conference in Buffalo, N.Y.
The Brookings County Extension Board spent substantial time on its proposed 2027 budget at the April 20 meeting, recording a total request of $103,302.00. The budget package includes raising the work‑study rate to $17.50 per hour, purchasing two computers for 4‑H program assistants and a $5,455 increase in the "Total Other Current Expenses" line to cover higher travel reimbursements and attendance at the National 4‑H Conference in Buffalo, N.Y.
The minutes record that a motion on the budget was made, seconded and carried. Board members emphasized that raising the work‑study rate is intended "to draw the best possible candidates," and that increased travel costs are driving part of the bump in other expenses. The request will be finalized for the county budgeting process and is reflected in the board’s stated total of $103,302.
