Juan Hidalgo, Agricultural Commissioner

Meeting Date: June 20, 2017

Date: June 5, 2017

To: The Board of Supervisors

From: Juan Hidalgo, Agricultural Commissioner

Subject: 2017-18 Proposed Budgets for the Agricultural Commissioner

The purpose of this memo is to request your Board’s approval of the 2017-18 Proposed Budget

for the Agricultural Commissioner, including any supplemental materials. The services and

functions of the Agricultural Commissioner's Office are primarily regulatory; enforcing laws and

regulations of the California Food and Agricultural Code, the California Health and Safety Code,

the California Business and Professions Code and the California Code of Regulations. These

services are provided through work in the areas of Environmental Protection, Consumer

Protection and Mosquito and Vector Control. Environmental Protection services include

Pesticide Use Enforcement and Pest Prevention. Consumer Protection services include Weights

and Measures and standardization programs such as lettuce inspections, egg inspections and

certification of producers for farmers markets. The Mosquito and Vector Control division plays

an important role in the detection and mitigation of human vectors (primarily mosquitoes) as

well as to promote control measures that reduce vector breeding sources through public outreach.

The expenditures for the Agricultural Division (103210) and Weights and Measures Division

(103300) total $2,036,825. The anticipated revenues for the 2017-18 Proposed Budget for these

two divisions total $1,365,628. The net county cost for 2017-18 is $671,197. The staffing level

(16.40 full time equivalent positions) in Agriculture and Weights and Measures remains the same

as in FY 2016-17.

The Mosquito and Vector Control Division (index 103400) expenditures and revenues both equal

$1,619,430. There is no net county cost for the division as it is supported by property based

benefit assessments. There are 10 positions in this division.

There are no major changes in the programs for the Agricultural and Weights and Measures

divisions. This will change in the future as the California Department of Food and Agriculture

(CDFA) recently released proposed regulations for medical cannabis cultivation, and the

Department is in the process of establishing the California Industrial Hemp Program. The

Industrial Hemp Program will allow for the commercial production of industrial hemp for seed

1

Packet Pg. 6

and fiber. Provisions of these two programs will be carried out by the Agricultural

Commissioner in cooperation with CDFA.

Effective in 2018 agricultural growers will have to comply with new regulations prohibiting

certain pesticide application methods on agricultural fields located within ¼ mile of public

schools and licensed child day care facilities. These restrictions will apply Monday through

Friday, during the hours of 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. In addition, growers will need to provide an

annual notification that includes all pesticides expected to be used during the year to schools

located within ¼ mile of an agricultural field. The notification must be provided to the school

principal, child day care administrator and the Agricultural Commissioner. These new

regulations will require growers to change some of their agricultural practices. We look forward

to continue to work with our growers by providing outreach and education to comply with the

new requirements.

The Weights and Measures division continues to promote equity in the marketplace and to

protect consumers. As cannabis cultivation regulations are developed the division will play an

important role not only in certifying approved scales for commercial transactions but also at the

cultivator level for compliance with the state’s track and trace program. Weights and Measures

will also play an important role in ensuring pre-packed products comply with required labeling

and net weight statements.

The Mosquito and Vector Control division plays an important role in the detection and

mitigation of human disease vectors (primarily mosquitoes) as well as to promote control

measures that reduce vector breeding sources through public outreach. Outreach efforts in the

past year have focused on providing information to local governments and the public about the

threat of invasive Aedes mosquitoes and reducing mosquito breeding habitat. Renovation work

has begun at the 640 Capitola Road facility, and once completed the division will be able to

expand the level of service provided to our community, including the ability to test birds and

mosquitoes for West Nile Virus.

I want to thank my staff for their efforts, commitment and dedication in providing excellent

public service to our community.

It is, therefore, RECOMMENDED that your Board approve the 2017-18 Proposed Budget for

the Agricultural Commissioner, including any supplemental materials.

the cities of Capitola and Scotts Valley.

The County Library Fund receives revenues from property taxes and uses these funds

John J. Presleigh, Director of Public Works


Date: June 1, 2017


From: John Presleigh, Director

Subject: 2017-18 Proposed Budget for Public Works

The Public Works budget includes Road and Transportation funds (including Road and

Lighting Maintenance Districts), Special Districts, County Service Areas, Sanitation,

Solid Waste/Recycling, and Capital Improvement Projects. The Department also

includes an Internal Service Fund which provides administrative services and staffing

for all of Public Works activities, as well as providing funding for the replacement of

outdated equipment. The proposed Public Works budget, accounts for $115,752,758 in

expenses and supports 258.8 positions. A total of 2 positions are proposed to be

unfunded at this time.

The major programmatic initiative for the coming fiscal year is storm disaster recovery.

Initially, our activities will focus on coordination with the California Office of Emergency

Services (CalOES), Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), and the Federal

Highway Administration (FHWA) to approve the funding estimates for individual disaster

sites from the 2016-2017 storms, as well as move forward to complete project repairs

as soon as possible. To date, Public Works has FHWA approval for nine (9) preliminary

engineering estimates and five (5) construction repair projects. We currently have over

220 disaster sites identified with repair cost estimates of approximately $114 million.

Along with the regular on-going maintenance activities for roads, sewers, and drainage,

as well as the daily operations of sanitation and landfill services, Public Works

anticipates constructing a number of projects this upcoming year. We will also be

implementing new programs for litter control, parking infrastructure, and implementing

new productivity measurements throughout the Public Works Department in fiscal year

2017-2018.

Transportation funding will finally begin to increase over the next several years with the

Subject: Conduct a study session on the Proposed 2017-2018 Capital

Improvement Program

On June 6, 2017, your Board accepted and filed the Proposed 2017/2018 Capital

Improvement Program (CIP) document and scheduled a study session for today. The

Proposed 2017/2018 CIP presents a five-year financing implementation plan for capital

improvements within the unincorporated County. It is an outgrowth of cooperative

planning, programming, and financing efforts by the County's land use departments

including Planning, Parks, and Public Works, as well as the County Administrative

Office.

In conformance with County Code Section 13.01.130 (c), the Planning Department

has reviewed the CIP for General Plan consistency. The Planning Commission will

review the CIP in a study session at its July 12, 2017, meeting, and their comments will

be presented to the Board of Supervisors before the CIP final adoption in December.

As your Board is aware, the funds for implementing the Proposed 2017/2018 CIP are

included in the Public Works and Parks proposed budgets and will be appropriated in

conjunction with your Board's actions on those budgets.

Representatives from Public Works and Parks will be in attendance at your Board's CIP

study session to answer any questions that you may have about specific projects,

programming, or related issues.

It is therefore RECOMMENDED that your Board:

1. Open a study session of the Capital Improvement Program.

2. Direct Public Works to present a Final 2017/2018 Capital Improvement

Program, incorporating all changes that your Board adopts as part of the

2017/2018 budget hearings in Capital Improvement Program related
