FISCAL IMPACT:
Approval of the agreement will provide revenue to the Department in an amount not to exceed $14,550. There is no County match of funds. This amount has been accounted for in the FY 2022/2023 budget.
BACKGROUND:
Gasoline service stations and others selling petroleum products are required by state law to meet advertising and signage requirements. Service stations are also required to provide water and air "free of charge" to customers and to provide handicap service to customers with some exceptions. The Department will conduct inspections to determine compliance with these laws. This agreement will reimburse the Department for services enforcing these laws.
