CONSENT AGENDA
BACKGROUND/SUMMARY:
Over the last two decades, state funding has decreased for the University of California's Division of Agriculture and Natural Resources (UC ANR), which provides local programming through the UC Cooperative Extension (UCCE). This decrease in funding has had implications for the local programming provided through the San Benito County UCCE. UCCE provides the 4-H youth development program, livestock and natural resources, helps farmers develop more efficient growing methods, solve pest management problems, and develop crops and irrigation methods that use less water.
The proposed continued funding with the UC Extension program, working in conjunction with the Regents of the University of California to provide general program assistance, is submitted for the Board of Supervisors' consideration and approval.
Attached is the Regents of the University of California contract in the amount of $48,510 for FY 21-22
