Gila County Cooperative Extension Advisory Board Reappointments

Background Information

A.R.S. §3-124-County agricultural extension board; members; appointment; term; qualifications; office space states, “The board of supervisors shall appoint 7 persons, who are residents of the county, to a county agricultural extension board, 4 of whom have as their principal business the production of agricultural commodities, and the other 3 of whom shall be representative of organizations or persons who utilize the county agricultural extension services.”

Each member shall be appointed for a term of two years.

The terms of office for the following Gila County Cooperative Extension Advisory Board members will expire on December 31, 2019: Ben Dalmolin, Dorine Prine, Mike Henderson, Twila Cassadore, and Fred Jimenez.

Evaluation

The members of the Gila County Cooperative Extension Advisory Board whose terms of office are due to expire on December 31, 2019, have been contacted. All of the members except Fred Jimenez have expressed a willingness to continue serving on this Board. This particular board is under the purview of the Gila County Board of Supervisors; therefore, the Board of Supervisors appoints members to this board.

Conclusion

The Board of Supervisors needs to consider re-appointing Ben Dalmolin Dorine Prine, Mike Henderson, and Twila Cassadore to the Gila County Cooperative Extension Advisory Board of Directors for another 2-year term office. Cooperative Extension staff is in the process of finding a candidate for the vacancy on this board beginning January 1, 2020, after Mr. Jimenez's term of office expires on December 31, 2019.

Recommendation

The Gila County Cooperative Extension Advisory Board recommends that the Board of Supervisors appoint the individuals as listed above.

Suggested Motion

Approval to reappoint Ben Dalmolin, Dorine Prine, Mike Henderson, and Twila Cassadore to the Gila County Cooperative Extension Advisory Board of Directors for the term of office which will begin on January 1, 2020, through December 31, 2021.
