County to continue partnership with Penn State Extension under flat-fee agreement

Northampton County Council — Finance & Personnel Committee meeting · August 19, 2026

Summary

County and Penn State Extension agreed to continue a long-standing partnership supporting agricultural programming; the arrangement will move from reimbursing out-of-pocket expenses to a flat annual fee paid quarterly, the same total amount as before.

A representative of Penn State Extension told the committee the extension program has long partnered with Northampton County to provide agricultural and farm-support services. The county and the extension have historically split expenses; under the proposed memorandum of understanding the county will instead pay a flat fee for the year in quarterly installments while the extension manages spending within agreed categories.

The presenter described the change as a restructured but budget-neutral arrangement: "It's the same amount that we've had before. It's just structured as a flat fee that we're paying in quarterly installments." The committee moved the item forward for finalization.
