Extension office outlines programs; county to receive $25,792 back payment from US Cellular lease
Summary
The extension office updated the board on local programs, 4‑H staffing and pesticide recertification, while county staff reported completion of a US Cellular ground‑lease and a back payment of $25,792 arriving the next day and ongoing monthly ground-lease revenue of $1,648 with a 3% annual escalation.
The county’s extension office representative, introduced by the board as Miss Jones, thanked supervisors for support and reviewed recent and upcoming programs, including disaster-relief assistance, producer spotlights, crop test plots, pesticide recertification trainings by commodity, and efforts to fill a vacant 4‑H position.
Miss Jones said the extension receives an annual $2,500 stipend that the office uses to buy measuring containers and personal protective equipment for pesticide meetings: “Also, with that, we get a $2,500 stipend every year that we use to buy, measuring containers, PPE that can be anywhere from booties to gloves to the aprons, and those are given out at our pesticide meetings.” She said the 4‑H position became vacant Nov. 1 and staff are pursuing internal transfer and external recruitment to have the role filled by early spring if possible.
Separately, county staff (administrator) reported the county has finalized a ground-lease with US Cellular; staff said the county would receive a back payment check of $25,792 the following day and that the total ground-lease will be $61,600 with monthly payments of $1,648 and a 3% annual escalator. As staff summarized: “We will have a check in the amount of $25,792 deposited tomorrow,” and added the carrier will own and maintain the tower and provide free space to the county on the tower.
