WELD COUNTY COOPERATIVE EXTENSION REPORT TO THE WELD COUNTY COMMISSIONERS JANUARY 13, 1993 Following the passage of Amendment 1 , we were asked by the Board of Weld County Commissioners in November, 1992, to prepare a listing and report of ways we have to raise funds to assist with our budget limitations. The Federal Extension policy regarding "user fees", states "it is permissible to charge fees for incidental costs, if the proceeds are used in furtherance of Extension work". It also notes that "users fees may not be charged for educational services - if the proceeds are to be used to augment the operational cost of the Cooperative Extension Services in substitution of state or county appropriations for that purpose." With that noted, our Weld County Cooperative Extension staff has compiled the following listing of services provided that we will charge users for to expand and improve the quality of education we provide. WELD COUNTY 4-H YOUTH PROGRAM Members (ages 8-19) currently enrolling in 4-H, pay a fee of $6/member or $7/horse project member. These funds pay for literature received and medical insurance coverage. In 1994 (enrollment in fall of '93) we will propose to the 4-H leader/parent council to raise this enrollment fee to $10/member. The additional funds will be used for the increased cost of literature and for 4-H leader training costs. The Weld County Fair Board has approved an increase in a "late entry fee" to $5 vs. $1 previously charged. The primary purpose is to encourage exhibitors to meet the entry deadline. It may also result in some increased revenue for the County Fair. 4-H EVENT FEES CHARGED TO MEMBERS PARTICIPATING IN SPECIAL PROGRAMS CONDUCTED ANNUALLY EVENT COST/MEMBER 4H Self Development Day $2 Teen 4-H Counselor Training 5 Home Economics 4-H Leader Training 3 Junior Jamboree (weekend camp) 52 Entry fee for all contests; i.e. speech, demonstration, -creative cooks, cake decorating, and other county contests 1 Live animal judging contests hosted by other counties will require entry fees at each contest 6/contest 4-H Athletics • Softball 7 Basketball 7 Volleyball 7 ADULT EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS/SERVICES PROGRAM/SERVICE COST/PERSON ESTIMATED ANNUAL INC.

Monies obtained from grant proposals and other income estimates listed above will be placed in our non-appropriated funds account. It receives an annual audit by Colorado State University appointed auditors. These funds come from individuals who directly utilize our educational services.
