Memorandum
Date: June 23, 2020
To: The Honorable Moke Simon, Chair, Lake County Board of Supervisors
From: Steve Hajik, Agricultural Commissioner/ Sealer
Subject: Resolution Approving Unanticipated Revenue to Fund Aquatic Weed
Control Program
Executive Summary:
The Lake County Agricultural Commissioner anticipates receiving $79,800 in the unrealized revenue this fiscal year. This is the result of unanticipated revenue from the state industrial hemp cultivation agreement and the pest detection agreement (001.2601.452.53-90). With your Board’s approval, this revenue will be used to fund portions of the County’s aquatic weed control program.
This unanticipated revenue needs to be spent this fiscal year if the County expects to meet the Maintenance of Effort (MOE with California Department of Food and Agricultural) requirements for receiving Unclaimed Gas Tax (UCGT) funds in FY 20/21. If the County does not meet the MOU requirement, UCGT funding could be jeopardized in FY 20/21. The UCGT is the largest single revenue source to the Agricultural Commissioner’s budget.
