B. Authorize the Chairman to sign the MOU.

BACKGROUND:

The maintenance worker (4-H camp caretaker) position became unfunded by the County in FY

The 4-H Foundation has agreed to continue funding the position with future funding to remain at the discretion of the 4-H Foundation pending annual budget review and approval. The Foundation has approved funding twenty (20) hours per week during the months of October through April and twenty-nine (29) hours per week during the months of May through September (mowing season).

The MOU will not have a budgetary impact on the County. The 4-H Foundation will be responsible for providing the funds to the County in a lump sum payment, and the County will be responsible for disbursing the funds.

LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS/SIGN-OFF:

The MOU was reviewed and approved as to legal sufficiency by Kristin Hual of the County Attorney's Office on 09-17-2013.

PERSONNEL:

The MOU will not result in any additional personnel.

POLICY/REQUIREMENT FOR BOARD ACTION:
