Agricultural Services Board

The Agricultural Service Board (ASB) includes all County Councillors, and four Public Members at Large. The board meets at the Call of the Chair, typically quarterly.

What does ASB do

The Board's vision is to develop and implement programs and services that will assist County residents to maintain and improve the efficiency and sustainability of our family farms and rural communities. The ASB will create independence and opportunity through education and will provide agricultural services that sustain agricultural resources within the County.

Programs administered and/or assisted with include:

  • Weed and Brush Control
  • Agricultural Pest and Nuisance Control
  • Water and Soil Conservation
  • Promotion of Sustainable Agriculture

ASB Meeting Information

Governance and Priorities Committee

Beaver County Council established a Governance and Priorities Committee (GPC). This Committee consists of all members of Council, and meets outside of formal Council meetings to discuss matters that require additional time for consideration and do not require an immediate decision of Council.
