Committee approves UW-Extension 2027 budget; 4-H educator hire and office-location options discussed
Summary
The Committee approved UW-Extension's 2027 budget, which projects modest net change and carries a tentative 4-H educator start date of Aug. 24; staff also discussed possible office relocation but expressed preference to remain partnered with Nicolet College.
Jessica Young presented the UW-Extension 2027 budget overview, noting revenue increases from grants and service fees in 2026 and modest overall budget growth projected for 2027 (about $1,406), driven largely by personnel cost increases of roughly $5,900. Young said year-end projections show more than $10,700 in additional revenue for 2026 and anticipated operational efficiencies that reduce some expense categories.
Young also updated the Committee on staffing and facilities: interviews have concluded for the 4-H educator position and the selected candidate has submitted onboarding paperwork with a tentative start date of Aug. 24. Staff discussed a possible relocation to Human Services space but emphasized the value of the longstanding Nicolet College partnership that provides low-cost meeting and classroom space; Committee members generally supported staying at Nicolet if feasible. The Committee approved the UW-Extension 2027 budget and forwarded it to the Executive Committee (motion Hess/Schultz).
