| Reason for Recommended Action/Background |
For nearly 100 years, the University of California and the Counties of Solano, Sacramento and Yolo (Counties) have collaborated to provide locally-based research and education programs in the areas of agriculture, horticulture, natural resource management, nutrition, family consumer science and youth development. Since July 2014, the University's division of Agriculture and Natural Resources (ANR) and the above-named Counties, have joined together to fund and operate the Capitol Corridor Multi-County Partnership (MCP) as the joint agency providing support of the University of California Cooperative Extension (UCCE) programs.
The MCP is governed by a County Leadership Advisory Committee with two representatives from each County, one CAO or designee and one Board member. Supervisor Chamberlain is the Board's representative to the advisory committee. This committee determines program development and operating budget. Program offerings have increased over the five years of the operation of the MCP with Counties contributing 13% of the overall budget and ANR contributing 74% of the cost of the programs. The balance of funding is achieved through grants and in-kind contributions.
Staff recommends approval amendment to continue the program for an additional five years. |
