FINANCIAL IMPACT
Approval of this item will not result in the use of Discretionary General Funding (Net County Cost). The Revenue Agreement (Agreement), in the amount of $14,640, is being provided by the California Department of Food and Agriculture, Division of Measurement Standards (CDFA, DMS). Sufficient appropriation and revenue have been included in the Department of Agriculture / Weights & Measures (AWM) 2026-27 budget.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
This Agreement with CDFA, DMS will reimburse AWM for performing services related to the Weighmaster Program for the period of July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027. The Agreement provides reimbursement of $240 per completed inspection for 61 inspections, for a maximum reimbursement amount of $14,640.
The Board of Supervisors (Board) first approved the initial revenue agreement with CDFA, DMS on January 28, 2014 (Item No. 7), to provide inspection services at Weighmaster locations throughout San Bernardino County and a revenue agreement has since been renewed on a continual annual basis.
Approval of the Agreement will allow AWM to continue to perform assigned site inspections of licensed junk dealer and recycler establishments, which are also licensed as Weighmasters, to determine compliance with the California Business and Professions Code. Inspections include the verification that the finger printing equipment and camera is functioning, confirmation that commercial weighing devices are sealed, and the review of storm water permit requirements. CDFA, DMS determined that these inspections should be performed by counties because of the widespread distribution of junk dealer and recycler establishments.
On June 3, 2026, AWM received the Revenue Agreement in the amount of $14,640 for the period of July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. This item is being presented to the Board at this time as this is the first date available for presentation following the required operational, fiscal and legal reviews.
