Gila County Cooperative Extension Advisory Board Appointment

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.

Fred Jimenez's term of office ends on December 31, 2019. He has chosen not to serve another term of office, so there will be a vacancy on this board beginning on January 1, 2020. Janet Brandt has offered to serve on this board and she will be an asset with her knowledge of forestry and horticulture.

Evaluation

A vacancy will exist on this board beginning on January 1, 2020. Ms. Brandt has offered to serve on this Board for a 2-year term. This 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 appointing Janet Brandt to the Gila County Cooperative Extension Advisory Board of Directors for a 2-year term office, which will begin on January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2021.

Recommendation

The Gila County Cooperative Extension Advisory Board recommends that the Board of Supervisors appoint Ms. Brandt.

Suggested Motion

Approval to appoint Janet Brandt 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.
