RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Agricultural Commissioner, or designee, to execute a contract with the California Department of Food and Agriculture in an amount not to exceed $2,020 to reimburse the County for plant nursery inspections and related enforcement activities for the period July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this action will allow for reimbursement from the California Department of Food and Agriculture to the County in an amount not to exceed $2,020. There is no county match of funds nor are grant funds involved. There is no impact to the general fund. (100% State funds)

BACKGROUND:

This agreement with the California Department of Food and Agriculture provides reimbursement to the County for the County Agriculture Department expenses incurred for visual surveys of nurseries and to enforce all laws and regulations pertaining to nursery stock, including licensing requirements. These visual inspections ensure that certain regulatory requirements of the plant nursery industry are met, which protect consumers and stop and/or slow the spread of exotic invasive species that maybe present on certain host material.


CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If not approved, the department will not receive funds budgeted in the approved 2022-2023 budget to complete mandated inspections.
