I <br /> <br /> North Carolina State University <br /> SERVICE SchOOl of Agriculture and Li[e Sciences <br /> <br />Address re~y ~: <br />County Exte~lon Office <br />P, O. Box 387 Phone: 782-0212 <br />Concord, NC 28026-0387 <br />October 29, 1984 <br /> <br />Mr. Charles D. McGinnis <br />Cabarrus County Manager <br />P. O. Box 707 <br />Concord, NC 28026-0707 <br /> <br />Dear Mr. McGinnis: <br /> <br />This is a request to fill the newly created position of horticultural agent. We have <br />interviewed extensively throughout the state and have a prospect for this position as <br />associate agricdltural extension agent for Cabarrus County. This person comes to us <br />well qualified, experienced, and highly recommended for this position. <br /> <br />Because we were able to find an experienced person, it will require more money than was <br />originally funded. The total amount of this request on an annual basis is $26,250. <br />This includes $21,000 salary, plus $5,250 to cover fringe benefits and part of travel <br />expenses. This person is presently employed and will not be available nntil January 1, <br />1985, when we would expect his emplo)~nent to begin with the North Carolina Agricultural <br />Extension Service. <br /> <br />The county commissioners approved $21,000 for this position, and since it will only be <br />used one-half of the year there will be adequate funds availab]e in th~s account during <br />this fiscal year. However, this does mean an additional amoent of money as a salary <br />item in the next year's budget. <br /> <br />This person comes to us well qualified to handle the position of horticultural agent <br />in Cabarrus County. He is highly recommended by people who have known or worked w~th <br />him outside the co~uLty, and by members of tile Cabarrus County Farmers Market group. <br />tie has extremely valuable experience that would help us in this important program. <br /> <br />We have made an offer to this person contingent upon adequate funding being provided <br />by Cebarrus County. I strongly recommend that this additional funding be approved and <br />this position be fil~led. <br /> <br />Please let me know at your earliest convenience of the action you take on this <br />recommendation. <br /> <br /> Sincerely yours, <br /> <br /> <br />
