Background:
Seminole County is committed to its Reclaimed Water Education and Florida Friendly Landscaping program and endeavors to develop and execute a public education campaign focusing on reclaimed water and the mitigation of nonpoint source pollution, recognizing their potential significant impacts on Florida's water conservation efforts.
The University of Florida (UF) shares an interest in the County project and seeks collaboration to ensure its success. Seminole County having secured funding through a grant program, aims to employ a specialized program assistant to lead educational workshops on reclaimed irrigation water. Seminole County Extension Services seeks a partnership with the University of Florida to facilitate the professional hiring process for a program assistant within the County’s Extension Services for this environmental education initiative. UF has a well-established strategy for recruiting specialized program assistants and is eager to support the County by providing such services.
This joint agreement is necessary to facilitate this process.
