Request/Subject

University of Arizona, Gila County Cooperative Extension Office Annual Report and FY 2014-2015 Budget Request

Background Information

Each year Jim Sprinkle, Ph.D., University of Arizona (U of A) Area Extension Agent, Animal Science and Gila County Cooperative Extension Director, presents the Board of Supervisors with the U of A, Gila County Cooperative Extension Office's Annual Report. During this presentation Dr. Sprinkle provides an overview of the faculty's accomplishments and program activities for the Cooperative Extension offices located in Payson, Globe and San Carlos, which is followed by an official budget request for the upcoming fiscal year to be considered during the County's regular budget process.

Evaluation

County elected officials and department heads are currently compiling their budgets to be considered by the Board of Supervisors on June 24, 2014, at which time the Gila County tentative budget will be adopted, so it is beneficial that the Board consider all budget requests as soon as possible.

Conclusion

The Gila County fiscal year 2014-2015 tentative budget is scheduled to be presented to the Board of Supervisors for adoption at its June 24th meeting; therefore, all budget requests should be submitted to the Board for its consideration prior to that date.

Recommendation

It is recommended that Dr. Sprinkle present the Annual Report and annual budget request to the Board of Supervisors for the Gila County Cooperative Extension Office.

Suggested Motion

Presentation of the University of Arizona's Gila County Cooperative Extension Office Annual Report and 2014-2015 fiscal year budget request to be considered for approval during Gila County's regular budget process.
