User Fee Update
The user fee program established financial targets for all local Extension offices throughout the state. The original targets set for 2006-07 were $400,000 minimum and $550,000 desired. That has been revised to a $275,000 expected contribution to CSU and $550,000 desired. The revenues for 2006-07 through September reached $36,300. Elbert and Jefferson counties were recognized at the Annual Forum banquet on September 21, 2006, for attaining the user fee desired level.
