| Gila County Cooperative Extension Advisory Board Appointments |
| 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.
At the Gila County Cooperative Extension Advisory Board meeting of June 5, 2018, it was announced that Board members Fred Jimenez and Twila Cassadore agreed to serve another two-year term of office retroactive from January 1, 2018, through December 31, 2019. At that meeting, David Cook, Diana Hemovich and Albert Hunt submitted their resignations due to time constraints and new priorities. Since the Board of Supervisors will not need to take any action to reappoint Mr. Cook, Ms. Hemovich and Mr. Hunt for the two-year term that began on January 1, 2018, there are currently 3 vacancies. The following individuals have agreed to serve a two-year term of office that began on January 1, 2018, through December 31, 2019. Their term will begin on the day they are appointed by the Board of Supervisors.
Ben Dalmolin and Dorine Prine will represent "principal business" and Mike Henderson will represent "utilizes County agriculture extension services." If approved by the Board of Supervisors, their terms of office will begin on September 11, 2018, through December 31, 2019. |
| Evaluation |
| It would be beneficial to the County to retroactively reappoint Mr. Jimenez and Ms. Cassadore for another two-year term of office which began on January 1, 2018, and ends on December 31, 2019. It would also be beneficial to appoint Mr. Dalmolin, Ms. Prine and Mr. Henderson to the Gila County Cooperative Extension Advisory Board for a term beginning on September 11, 2018, through December 31, 2019. |
| Conclusion |
| The Board of Supervisors needs to consider re-appointing Fred Jiminez and Twila Cassadore for another two-year term, and appointing Ben Dalmolin, Dorine Prine and Mike Henderson for an initial term on the Gila County Cooperative Extension Advisory Board of Directors. |
| 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 or appoint the following individuals to the Gila County Cooperative Extension Advisory Board of Directors: Fred Jimenez and Twila Cassador-reappointment for the term that began on January 1, 2018, through December 31, 2019; and Ben Dalmolin, Dorine Prine and Mike Henderson-appointment to fill 3 vacancies for the term that ends on December 31, 2019. |
