RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between Alameda County and Contra Costa County for Licensed Agricultural Commissioner/Sealer of Weights and Measures services.

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% General Fund.

BACKGROUND:

Contra Costa County is currently without a licensed Agricultural Commissioner and a Sealer of Weights and Measures as required under State code. The process for recruitment of a Agricultural Commissioner and Sealer can be lengthy. One option available under State code for Counties to temporarily fill such duties is to contract with another County to share a fully licensed Agricultural Commissioner/Sealer. Contra Costa County and Alameda County have reached an agreement to share Alameda County’s Agricultural Commissioner/Sealer under the terms of the attached MOU.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Failure to approve the MOU would keep Contra Costa County from receiving certain State funds until the appointment of a licensed Agricultural Commissioner/Sealer.
