County Extension Association Entity Coverage
Dear County Extension Director: Effective 7/12/2004 the University Corporate Controller's Office has applied a cap limit on grants and contracts for funding that may be handled through the County Extension Association Entity Coverage Program and managed within the local county office. Awards greater than $10,000 must be processed through the College Contracts Office and will be managed through the University's financial system. Please refer to the University Procedure for the administration of CES Gifts, Grants and Contracts posted at the Coop. Extension Operations Handbook: http://www.extension.psu.edu/CEDHandbook/financial.html . Awards of $10,000 or less may be handled through the CEA Entity Coverage Program and upon College review and approval be managed by the County Extension Director within the local PSCE Program Account. College review and approval will come by way of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signed by the CEA President, Director of Cooperative Extension, and College Financial Officer. The Controller's Office has secured signature delegation authority from the Board of Trustees for the Director and Financial Officer to sign these agreements on behalf of the University. Dr. Paul Wangsness, Senior Associate Dean, will sign in the absence of Dr. Jackson and I will sign in the absence of our Financial Officer, Tom Schaffer. The Wood Agency will prepare all MOU's as part of their review of the grant or contract and forward to your office. Your office will be responsible for securing the CEA President's signature then forwarding to my office for college approvals. I will make these approvals a priority and expedite the approval process. Please review the updated summary for the CEA Entity Coverage Program as well as the coverage form. We will have these updates posted to the Cooperative Extension Operations Handbook as well. Please feel free to contact me if you have questions, comments or concerns about these changes.
