Minnesota statutes require every county to have an Extension Advisory Committee with nine members. Two members must be county commissioners appointed by the county board. The County Auditor or the auditor's designee must be a member. If the county has no office of auditor, the county board shall appoint a member from the county administration. Six members must be appointed at-large by the county board as provided in this section. The county board at its annual meeting shall appoint for a term of three years the number of members required to fill the memberships on that committee expiring at that time. Members may only serve three consecutive terms for a total of nine years.
The Rice County Board of Commissioners appoints resident representatives to serve on the Rice County Extension Advisory Committee. The membership, terms and functions are set by Minnesota Statute 38.36.
