RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Agricultural Commissioner, or designee, to execute Agreement #13-0369-SA Weighmaster/Petroleum Product Program with the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) in an amount not to exceed $4800 to inspect recycling establishments licensed as weighmasters and determine compliance with Business and Professions Code Section 12703.1, for the period January 1, 2014 through June 30, 2014

FISCAL IMPACT:

This agreement will reimburse the department up to $4800 to support inspection and enforcement activities at recycling establishments on behalf of the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) in Contra Costa County as well as gasoline service stations and others selling petroleum products. There is no cost share requirement and the revenue from this agreement has been anticipated in the departmental FY 13/14 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 exception. This agreement will reimburse the Department for work done that involves enforcement of these laws.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Failure to accept Agreement #13-0369-SA will cause a loss of revenue. The department would be unable to hire employees to support the inspections and enforcement activities as require.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

None
