RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Agricultural Commissioner, or designee, to execute Agreement #17-0110-000=SA Certified Farmers Market Inspections in an amount not to exceed $18,564 from California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) to provide enforcement through market and production site inspections and certifications for the period July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This agreement will reimburse the department for expenses not to exceed $18,564 for the period July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018. This amount has been anticipated in the FY17/18 budget. There are no county matching of funds.

BACKGROUND:

The County agrees to provide market and production site inspections for the Certified Farmers Market (CFM) Program. These services are in addition to the normal inspection activities being performed by the County and those required under statute. Services provide under this agreement should be consistent with normal inspection procedures currently performed by the County. Inspection hours and workdays should vary where appropriate and practical. The County shall provide necessary inspection supplies, and equipment, with the exception of forms and supplies routinely provided by the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA). Inspections shall be performed as outlined in the Food and Agriculture Code.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

A negative action would result in the department not having the revenue necessary to perform inspection and certification activities on behalf of the California Department of Food and Agriculture and will lose overhead that is a benefit to the department's budget.
