Article 5. Compensation of California Food And Agricultural Code >> Division 2. >> Chapter 2. >> Article 5.

The compensation provided for a commissioner, deputy commissioner, county agricultural inspector, or clerk who is employed by the year or by the month shall be paid out of the county treasury in the same manner and at the same time as county officers are paid. A commissioner and each deputy commissioner or inspector is entitled to receive his traveling and incidental expenses which are necessarily incurred in the performance of his duty. Such expenses and all compensation which is earned by a commissioner, deputy commissioner, inspector, or clerk who is not employed by the year or by the month are a county charge. The board of supervisors shall allow and pay them in the same manner as other claims are allowed and paid.

The commissioner shall be paid his or her compensation and traveling and incidental expenses while he or she is attending the annual meeting of the California Agricultural Commissioners and Sealers Association or its successor and any other meetings he or she is required by the secretary to attend, or while he or she is on any service that requires him or her to go outside the county if the performance of that service has been authorized by the board of supervisors, the secretary or director, or this code.

The compensation of a commissioner who is appointed by the director shall be paid in the same manner as if he were appointed by the board of supervisors.

The rate and manner of payment of compensation for a commissioner who is employed pursuant to Section 2124 shall be fixed by the board of supervisors of the employing county. He is entitled to receive his traveling and incidental expenses which are necessarily incurred in the performance of his duty.

The board of supervisors of any county in which the director is required by Section 2125 to perform the duties of commissioner shall, upon claim which is duly submitted, reimburse the department for all expenses which are incurred by the director in fulfilling his responsibilities in performing such duties. The amount of reimbursement shall not, however, be in excess of an amount which is established by an agreement between the board of supervisors and the director pursuant to Section 482 of this code or Section 25801 of the Government Code.
