RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Agricultural Commissioner, or designee, to execute a Memorandum of Understanding with the California Agricultural Commissioner and Sealers Association (CACASA) with modified indemnification language and to accept an amount not to exceed $6,372 to provide training and data entry support for pesticide use reporting for the period July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The Agricultural Department will be reimbursed by State funding in an amount not to exceed $6,372 for activities related to pesticide use reporting. There is no county match of funds nor grant monies involved. The amount has been anticipated and budgeted for FY18/19.

BACKGROUND:

The California Department of Pesticide Regulation (CDPR) no longer offers individual data submission contracts to counties and has contracted with CACASA to provide the data storage, software and data communication infrastructure for the reporting of pesticide use data. CACASA has simplified the overall process of the statistical submission contracts and is providing the online support to maintain the enhanced reporting capabilities. In order to ease the transition from County personnel input to input by the user of the pesticide, CACASA is providing funding to counties during the transition period to provide interim data input and training.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

A negative action would result in loss of revenue to the department for the pesticide use reporting program.
