RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Agricultural Commissioner, or designee, to execute Agreement #11-0013 Statewide Exotic Pest Detection Trapping with the Department of Food and Agriculture in an amount not to exceed $769,905 to reimburse the County for pest detection activities, the period of July 1, 2011 through June 30, 2012, as recommended by the Agricultural Commissioner.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This agreement reimburses the County expenditures incurred from July 1, 2011 through June 30, 2012 for pest detection activities performed on behalf of the California Department of Food and Agriculture in Contra Costa County, not to exceed $769,905.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Failure to accept Agreement #11-0013 will mean that the Department will not be reimbursed for pest detection activities.

BACKGROUND:

The County Department of Agriculture deploys traps countywide to detect incipient infestations of exotic pests such as Medfly, Oriental fruit fly, Gypsy Moth, Japanese Beetle, etc. These pests are not known to occur in Contra Costa County. This is a part of an early detection system designed to find incipient infestations when they are still eradicable.

The State reimburses the county for all costs that exceed the historic level of trapping.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

No impact
