County sets three-year staggered terms for Extension Board under Resolution 26-25
Summary
Brookings County adopted Resolution #26-25 on July 21, 2026, to set three-year staggered terms for six appointed members of the county Extension Board, citing House Bill 1106 as authority.
The Brookings County Commission adopted Resolution #26-25 to change the term length for appointed members of the Brookings County Extension Board from one year to three years, staggered so two terms expire each year. The resolution cites House Bill 1106, effective July 1, 2026, as authorizing county commissions to determine extension board term lengths.
Motion by Commissioner Larry Jensen, seconded by Commissioner Doug Post, carried on a unanimous roll-call vote. The resolution specifies that the board will continue to include an annually appointed county commissioner representative and that vacancies will be filled by commission appointment for the remainder of unexpired terms.
Why it matters: extending terms to three years aims to preserve continuity and institutional knowledge for local extension programming and governance.
