North Dakota Century Code Title 11. Counties § 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.
