Napa County Board reappoints Tracy Cleveland as Agriculture Commissioner for four more years

The Napa County Board of Supervisors has officially reappointed Tracy Cleveland as the Agricultural Commissioner and Sealer of Weights and Measures for an additional four-year term, extending her service through April 2, 2029. This decision, made during the board meeting on March 25, 2025, underscores the county's commitment to maintaining strong agricultural oversight and consumer protection.

Cleveland, who has over 22 years of experience in the Napa County Agricultural Commissioner's Office, was praised by board members for her leadership and the vital role her office plays in ensuring fair practices in agriculture and weights and measures. The position, which combines responsibilities for agricultural regulation and consumer protection, is crucial for maintaining the integrity of local markets. The salary and benefits for this role remain unchanged at approximately $298,000.

Public support for Cleveland's reappointment was evident, with community members highlighting her effective outreach and educational efforts. Supervisor Ramos emphasized the unique relationship between the board and the Agricultural Commissioner, noting the importance of Cleveland's work in ensuring that consumers receive fair treatment in transactions involving food and fuel.

In addition to the reappointment, the board discussed initiating a general plan amendment to align with the recently adopted Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan. This amendment aims to ensure that local regulations are consistent with the updated guidelines set forth by the Napa County Airport Land Use Commission. The next steps involve seeking input from the Planning Commission before returning to the board for a vote later this summer.

The decisions made during this meeting reflect Napa County's ongoing commitment to agricultural integrity and community safety, setting a positive course for the future of local governance and public service.
