Sheridan County Commissioners on Sept. 16 approved an addendum to an interlocal agreement to establish a shared Extension Educator—4‑H Youth Development position serving Box Butte, Dawes and Sheridan counties.
The addendum, presented by UNL Extension Educator Melissa Mracek, sets the cost-sharing formula at Box Butte 25%, Dawes 25%, Sheridan 20% and University of Nebraska–Lincoln 30%. Commissioner Kling made the motion to approve the addendum subject to review by the county attorney; Commissioner Messersmith seconded, and a roll-call vote recorded all aye.
The position was described as providing 4‑H youth development services across the three counties. The board approved the addendum conditionally—finalization will follow review by the county attorney, which the meeting record does not specify a timeline for.
No direct public comment or additional board amendments were recorded during the item. The county clerk attested to the meeting minutes at adjournment.
