Body
STRATEGIC PLAN:
This action supports the following areas of your Board’s Strategic Plan.
Area of Focus: Core Services/Other
Strategic Plan Category: 9999 - Core Services/Other
DISCUSSION:
The Agricultural Commissioner’s office receives annual subventions from the California Department of Food and Agriculture-Division of Measurement Standards (CDFA-DMS) to offset the local cost of enforcing certain state mandated programs. Cooperative Agreement No. 25-0067-000-SA provides funding for Humboldt County’s Weighmaster Program activities. CDFA-DMS will pay Humboldt County $240 for each completed initial inspection of an assigned junk dealer or recycler establishment licensed as a weighmaster to determine compliance with Business and Professions Code section 12703.1. An initial inspection is the first physical inspection in the fiscal year of a business location after renewal or issuance of a weighmaster license. The total allocation to the County for these inspections shall not exceed $480.
The waiver from the provisions of the Nuclear Free Ordinance is requested since the State of
California will not modify its cooperative agreements to accommodate local ordinances.

Weighmaster Program in Fiscal Year (FY) 2025-26. Payment is made in arrears to Humboldt County based on invoices submitted after conducting inspections according to contract conditions. This revenue was included in the Agricultural Commissioner’s proposed FY 2025-26 budget in budget unit 1100-261.

OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
N/A
ALTERNATIVES TO STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
Your Board could choose not to approve the agreement, however, that would prevent the county from receiving reimbursement for inspections conducted for the weighmaster program.
