RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Agricultural Commissioner, or designee, to execute an agreement with the California Department of Food and Agriculture in an amount not to exceed $3,575 to reimburse the County for inspections to ensure compliance with the California Organic Program for the period of July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This agreement reimburses the Department of Agriculture in an amount not to exceed $3,575. There is no County match of funds or cost share requirements. This revenue is budgeted in the FY 2022-23 budget. (100% State funds)

BACKGROUND:

This agreement will reimburse the Department for conducting inspections to verify compliance with the California Department of Food and Agriculture requirements for the Organic Program.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Failure to accept this agreement will cause a loss of revenue to the Department to enforce a mandated regulation.
