Information

Request/Subject

University of Arizona (U of A), Gila County Cooperative Extension Office Annual Report and Fiscal Year (FY) 2016-2017 Budget Request

Background Information

Each year Jim Sprinkle, Ph.D., U of A Area Extension Agent, Animal Science and Gila County Cooperative Extension Director, presented the Board of Supervisors with the U of A, Gila County Cooperative Extension Office's Annual Report and a budget request for the upcoming fiscal year to be considered during the County's regular budget process. Dr. Sprinkle retired last year and Richard (Rick) Gibson, Regional Director, assumed responsibilities for the Cooperative Extension programs in Gila and Pinal Counties.

Evaluation

County elected officials and department heads are currently compiling their budgets to be considered by the Board of Supervisors on June 21, 2016, 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. It would also be an opportunity for the Board members and Mr. Gibson to meet.

Conclusion

The Gila County FY 2016-2017 Tentative Budget is scheduled to be presented to the Board of Supervisors for adoption at its June 21st meeting; therefore, all budget requests should be submitted to the Board for its consideration prior to that date.

Recommendation

It is recommended that Mr. Gibson present the Annual Report and annual budget request to the Board of Supervisors on behalf of the U of A, Gila County Cooperative Extension Office.

Suggested Motion

Presentation of the University of Arizona's Gila County Cooperative Extension Office Annual Report and 2016-2017 fiscal year budget request to be considered for approval during Gila County's regular budget process. (Richard Gibson)
