RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Agricultural Commissioner or his designee, to sign agreement 08-0695 with the Department of Food and Agriculture that will reimburse the County up to $1,013,056 for County costs for providing pest detection services from July 1, 2008 through June 30, 2010.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This contract provides reimbursement for County expense incurred during this period for pest detection work performed on behalf of the California Department of Food and Agriculture in Contra Costa County.

BACKGROUND:

The County Department of Agriculture deploys traps countywide to detect incipient infestations of exotic pests such as Medfly, Gypsy Moth, Japanese Beetle, etc. The State reimburses the county for all costs that exceed our historic level of trapping.
