arrested two years ago on marijuana charges, first time offense and I received a fine and an adjournment on contemplation of dismissal with the condition being as long as I stayed out of trouble for six months there would be no criminal record. Applied for a county job and received letter stating that there must be an investigation done about me because of a criminal record. It's been two years and I've never been in trouble, so why do I have a record?

You have to file the paperwork to actually dismiss the case. It's still on the books as a pending criminal case. However, check to see if the city can consider arrests that have not resulted in convictions. Some state laws allow employers to consider only convictions.
