SUBJECT: Appointment of the Agricultural Commissioner to the
AB2185 Implementation Task Force
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Appoint the Agricultural Commissioner to the AB2185 Implementation
Task Force chaired by the Health Services Director. This represen-
tative would represent the agricultural community.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
None.
REASONS FOR THIS RECOMMENDATION:
AB2185 was approved by the Governor and filed with the Secretary of State
on September 28, 1985. AB2185 requires each County to designate an admi-
nistering agency to implement the provisions of this new law. AB2187 was
approved by the Governor and filed with the Secretary of State on July 23,
1986. AB2187 contains special provisions for a business operating a farm.
On December 12, 1985, the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors
appointed the Department of Health Services as the administering agency and
appointed an AB2185 Implementation Task Force chaired by the Director of
Health Services and including representatives from the Health Services
Department, Office of Emergency Services, Fire Districts, the Public
Managers Association, and the County Administrator's Office.
Representatives from the Mayor ' s Conference, the Industrial Association and
the Council of Industries were added to the Task Force on Aug. 4, 1986.
California Health and Safety Code, Division 20 Chapter 6.95, Section
25503.5 was modified by AB2187 to exempt a business operating a farm from
filing certain information in the business plan if the handler provides the
inventory to the agricultural commissioner each year and buildings in which
hazardous materials are stored are posted with signs. Also, Section
25505.1 was added and provides that an administering agency may use County
Agricultural Commissioners to distribute business plan forms to farmers.
It is the desire of the Director of Health Services, the County
Administrator, and the Board of Supervisors that the AB2185 Implementation
Task Force coordinate closely with the agricultural community and the
Agricultural Commissioner. This will be furthered by the appointment of
the Agricultural Commissioner to the AB2185 Implementation ask Force.
