Board reappoints Kurt Mangan to Extension Committee; District 4 seat tabled
Summary
The Pine County Board reappointed Kurt Mangan to a three‑year Extension Committee term and, after county‑attorney guidance on statutory timing, tabled the District 4 appointment until a candidate is identified.
The board moved to reappoint Kurt Mangan to the Extension Committee for a three‑year term. Commissioners discussed whether appointees must be active farmers; staff clarified that Extension Committee members need not be actively farming and can include master gardeners, teachers or interested citizens.
County Attorney Fredrickson reviewed the statute (38.36 subdivision 1) and advised that appointments are typically made at the annual organizational meeting but that vacancies can be filled later; as a result the board reappointed Mangan and noted the District 4 seat would be held open while staff and commissioners seek a candidate.
