RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE proposed revisions to the Contra Costa Integrated Pest Management Policy, as recommended by the Health Services Director.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None.

BACKGROUND:

In the process of writing the bylaws for the Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Advisory Committee, several inconsistencies arose between the bylaws and the IPM Policy. The IPM Task Force approved the following major changes in the IPM Policy:

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

1. The IPM Coordinator will serve as staff to the IPM Advisory Committee (the Committee) and not as chair.
2. The IPM Coordinator, the University of California representative, and the member representing both the Pesticide Applicators’ Professional Association and the Pest Control Operators of California were removed from the list of the Committee’s members.
3. Three (3) public members were added to the Committee’s membership.
4. The clause referring to the use of “Technical Advisory Committees” was deleted and replaced by a clause allowing the Committee to form subcommittees of its members to research and explore specific issues that come before the Committee.

Other minor changes were made to correct typographical errors and make language conform to the Committee bylaws.
