The 2006 version of ANR Administrative Handbook Section 401, UCCE and County Memorandum of Understanding has been revised and reissued.  The Section title has been changed to Programmatic MOUs and is now available here.

The revision to this section of the Administrative Handbook is significant.

Information regarding MOUs for the establishment and continuation of UCCE in California counties has been removed for the time being, as ANR transitions to a focus on multi-county partnerships. However, a great deal of new information regarding programmatic MOUs (e.g., agreements to deliver programs and/or to provide support services) is now provided, including MOU templates for our 4-H and Master Gardener programs. 

The revised section should be helpful to those contemplating the issuance of an MOU. For additional guidance and support, please contact ANR’s Administrative Policies & Business Contracts.

As well, information has been added to conform to the University Policy on Management of Health, Safety and the Environment http://www.ucop.edu/riskmgt/bsas/documents/presidentialpol.pdf. The section now provides greater clarity as to how the University policy should be implemented in the ANR environment.
