DISCUSSION:
The Agricultural Commissioner's office receives annual subventions from CDFA-DMS to offset the local cost of enforcing certain state-mandated programs. Cooperative Agreement No. 24-0195-000-SA provides funding for Humboldt County's Weighmaster Enforcement Program activities. 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.
