This was included in the 2000-2001 departmental budget <br />that was approved in June 2000. This agreement is always executed in the fall since the <br />University waits until the state legislature passes the budget before the University executes <br />student contracts. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: The total cost of the contract for July 1, 2000 through June 30, 2001 is <br />$41,745. This is a 4% increase over the previous yeas contract, due to a 4% cost of living <br />increase for dents! residents. This was included as part of the approved 2000-2001 <br />departmental budget.. <br />RECOMMENDATION: The Manager recommends that the Board approve the contract subject <br />to review by the county attorney. <br />
