Department Budget Overview
Overall Budget Summary
The Proposed Budget recommends status quo staffing and includes negotiated salary and benefit increases. Appropriations total $167,992, funded entirely by a General Fund contribution. There are no revenues. Total expenditures increased by $3,214 due to a $24,819 increase from a change in facility charges to properly reflect the costs of facility services and utilities offset by a decrease of $17,163 to align the salary and benefits budget to projected costs.Emerging Issues
Emerging Issues
Environmental Agriculture: In 2025, the UCCE will welcome an Environmental Horticulture Farm Advisor who will work with growers of ornamental and closed environmental agriculture in Santa Cruz County. While this will represent an increase in services that Agricultural Extension provides to the County, the financial impact will be near zero since the position will be funded by the University of California.
