Title

Body

MEMORANDUM

 

TO:                                          The Honorable Board of Supervisors

FROM:                     Steve Hajik, Agricultural Commissioner

DATE:                                          July 25, 2017

SUBJECT:                     Consideration of Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) by and between the County of Mendocino and the County of Lake for Sealer of Weights and Measures Service

 

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

 

State law (Code Section 12200 of Business and Professions Code) requires that every county have an Agricultural Commissioner and Sealer.  Currently, Mendocino County does not have a Sealer (due to retirement) and they have requested that I act as Interim Sealer until their position is filled.

 

Mendocino County has drafted and approved an MOU, with effective dates July 1, 2017 - August 31, 2017.  The fee is $1,500.00 per month.  If Mendocino County is unable to fill the vacant Sealer position by August 31, 2017, this MOU could be extended until such time as a viable candidate is in place.  Lake County Counsel has reviewed and approved this MOU.

 

The anticipated workload of the Interim Sealer will not negatively impact my workload for Lake County.
