RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Agricultural Commissioner, or designee, to execute an agreement with the California Department of Food and Agriculture in an amount not to exceed $26,626 to place and service traps for the detection of the European Grapevine Moth from January 1, 2017 through December 31, 2017.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The agreement reimburses the Department for all associated costs incurred for the implementation of the European Grapevine Moth Program, in an amount not to exceed $26,626 effective January 1, 2017 through December 31, 2017. There is no county match of funds. This revenue has been anticipated in the FY16/17 departmental budget.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Failure to approve this agreement will result in lost revenue for the department and a possible threat to the agricultural grape industry in Contra Costa County.
