In May 2010, voters approved a permanent tax rate for the creation of a 4-H, Master Gardener, Agriculture, Forestry Extension District, later known as the “Polk Extension Service District” (District). The Polk Extension Service District contracts with OSU to deliver Extension programs and related services within Polk County. The Polk County Board of Commissioners serves as the governing board of the Polk Extension Service District as directed by state statue (ORS 451.485), and is considered to be a component unit of Polk County.
