§ 11-38-06 — Budgeting for extension work

1. When the board of county commissioners is authorized to make a levy for the
employment of an extension agent, the board shall provide an annual budget that
stipulates the salary of the agent, field and office expenses, and allowance for staff.
2. The budget must be revised annually to account for changes in agent and staff
salaries and operating expenses. The board of county commissioners annually shall
provide the North Dakota state university extension service input on the extension
agent's performance. The extension agent's annual salary adjustment must be agreed
upon by the board of county commissioners and the extension service based on the
agent's annual performance and consideration of county and extension service budget
limitations.
3. After agreeing upon a budget and after deducting the amount of funds contributed
from federal and state funds, the board of county commissioners shall levy within the
authorization under this chapter or appropriate funds out of the county general fund, or
both, to cover the county's share of the budget.
