MEMORANDUM
TO: The Honorable Board of Supervisors
FROM: Steven Hajik, Agricultural Commissioner/Sealer of Weights and Measures
DATE: May 21, 2019
SUBJECT: Adopt Resolution Approving a Cooperative Agreement No. 19-0040-000-SA with the California Department of Food and Agriculture Farmer’s Market Program for the County of Lake
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
I would like to ask the Board to adopt the attached resolution approving the agreement with the California Department of Food and Agriculture for inspection/ investigation/ enforcement work involving the Certified Farmer’s Market Program. This program allows growers to sell their own produce at a Certified Farmer’s Market (CFM). There were two CFM’S in Lake County in 2018 and 31 Certified Producers registered with the county. This agreement reimburses the county for extra, non- routine inspections driven by alleged, credible violations for fiscal year 2019/2020. It also reimburses the county for investigation time and enforcement actions taken. The agreement would reimburse the county up to $1,500 and would only be implemented under the conditions stated above.
Should the Board adopt this Resolution, please have the chair sign and return one copy of the Agreement, one copy of the Board Resolution and return them to the Agricultural Commissioner’s office for processing. A signed completed copy will be returned for your records.
