______________________________________________________________

RESOLVED, by the Board of Supervisors of the County of San Mateo, State of California, that

WHEREAS, Section 12210.5 of the Business and Professions Code enables a County, if authorized by the County Board of Supervisors, to charge a fee for the testing of commercial devices when the test is requested by the owner/user and the testing could be performed by a registered repairman; and,

WHEREAS, this fee would apply to those instances where a commercial device owner requests that a Biologist/Standards Specialist and the County's equipment be available while a device is being adjusted, but the fee would not include the time performing the initial inspection or the final retest to seal the device; and,

WHEREAS, the implementation of the standby time charges set forth in Exhibit "A" would allow the County to recover the costs of providing this service; and,

WHEREAS, this Board has been presented with and has examined the need for and desires to implement the fee schedule as set forth in Exhibit "A" attached and incorporated to this resolution; and,

WHEREAS, Section 12210.5 requires that the fee be based on a uniform schedule of fees established by the Secretary of the California Department of Food and Agriculture; and,

WHEREAS, the schedule of fees attached as Exhibit "A" to this resolution follows the uniform schedule of fees established in Section 12210.5.

NOW THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY DETERMINED AND ORDERED that the President of this Board of Supervisors be authorized to direct the Sealer of Weights and Measures to implement the fee schedule as set forth in Exhibit "A" attached and incorporated to this resolution for and on behalf of the County of San Mateo and the Clerk of this Board shall attest to the signature thereto.
