Summary of Request:
The County is in critical need to hire for an Agricultural Commissioner/Sealer of Weights and Measures or for an Assistant Agricultural Commissioner. If the position is not filled the County will begin losing access to critical state funding for the department’s programs. This position is very specialized and requires licenses and certifications that are issued by the State to the individual to be qualified for these classifications. There are a very limited number of qualified applicants, and with this hiring bonus it would allow the County to be competitive and attract qualified applicants. The recommended amount of the hiring bonus is $40,000 divided over three years for Agricultural Commissioner/Sealer of Weights and Measures ($20,000 at the time of hire, $10,000 after completing year one of service as the Agricultural Commissioner/Sealer of Weights and Measures and final payment of $10,000 after completion of year two of service as the Agricultural Commissioner/Sealer of Weights and Measures) or $20,000 divided over three years for Assistant Agricultural Commissioner ($10,000 at the time of hire, $5,000 after completing year one of service as Assistant Agricultural Commissioner and $5,000 after completion of year two of service for the Assistant Agricultural Commissioner). The County will not be hiring for both classifications at this time.
The County has met the meet and confer obligations with the associated bargaining unit, approved Sideletter of Agreement is attached.

Do not approve and provide direction to Staff.
