RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Agricultural Commissioner, or designee, to execute an agreement with the California Department of Food and Agriculture to reimburse the County in an amount not to exceed $13,923 to perform market and production site inspections and certifications for the Certified Farmer's Market Program for the period July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This agreement will reimburse the County for expenses incurred, not to exceed $13,923, for the period July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022. This amount has been anticipated in the Fiscal year 2021/2022 budget. There is no County Match requirement.

BACKGROUND:

The County Department of Agriculture agrees to provide farmer's market and production site inspections for the State's Certified Farmer's Market Program to determine compliance with laws regarding farmer's markets. Inspections shall be performed as outlined in the Food and Agriculture Code.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this action is not approved, the Department will not have the necessary revenue to perform inspection and certification activities on behalf of the CDFA and will lose overhead that is a benefit to the Department's budget.
