Memorandum
Date: June 3, 2025
To: The Honorable Lake County Board of Supervisors
From: Katherine VanDerWall, Agricultural Commissioner Sealer of Weights and Measures
Subject: (a) Adopt the Resolution Approving Unanticipated Revenue in BU 2601 Agricultural Commissioner in the amount of $153,160.00, and (b) amend the capital asset list of the 2024-2025 budget to include In-truck prover ($45,000) and a Water Meter Test Bench ($14,500)
Executive Summary:
The Lake County Agricultural Commissioner has received $153,160.00 in unrealized revenue this fiscal year. This is the result of unanticipated revenue received from Unclaimed Gas Tax (UCGT) and Department of Pesticide Regulation pesticide mill assessment disbursement.
This unanticipated revenue needs to be spent this fiscal year if the County expects to meet the Maintenance of Effort (MOE) requirements set forth by the California Department of Food and Agriculture for receiving Unclaimed Gas Tax (UCGT) funds in FY 24/25. If the County does not meet the MOE requirement, UCGT funding could be jeopardized in FY 25/26. The UCGT is the largest single revenue source for the Agricultural Commissioner's budget.
These funds will be used to support the county aquatic weed program and to purchase equipment and other departmental needs including an in-truck prover for efficiently testing gas stations and a water test bench for efficiently testing water meters.
