Genesee County voters passed a millage to support of MSU-Extension services. Genesee County partners with MSU-Extension to help manage the funding for their programming.
DISCUSSION:
Genesee County enters into an agreement, annually, with MSU to provide for the operation and finances of MSU-Extension services. Our current agreement has expired. Attached, is the updated agreement for this programming.
IMPACT ON HUMAN RESOURCES:
There is no impact on HR.

There is no direct impact on the budget as the activities contemplated in the MOU are fully millage funded in Fund 2132.

IT does provide some support for MSU-E and is reimbursed by the millage.
CONFORMITY TO COUNTY PRIORITIES:
This agreement will conform to several of Genesee County's priorities, including Community Growth, Inclusive, Collaborative Culture, and Healthy, Livable & Safe Communities. The programming provided by MSU-E promotes environmental stewardship, public health, collaboration with other agencies, and allows for the county, through it's millage, to act as a convener that allows for growth and relationship building.
