FY 2016 Appropriation

The Director of the School and Institutional Trust Lands Administration is required by statute to "manage the School and Institutional Trust Lands Administration in fulfillment of its purpose." That purpose has been identified in UCA 53C-1-102 to "manage the lands and revenues generated from the lands in the most prudent and profitable manner possible, and not for any purpose inconsistent with the best interest of the trust beneficiaries."

The office consists of the director and an associate director. Aside from personal services, the largest costs consist of consulting contracts.
