RECOMMENDATION(S):

Accept the 2013 Annual Report on the Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Program.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None.

BACKGROUND:

The County Board of Supervisors adopted an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Policy in November 2002. The Board adopted the policy in response to a report published in March 2001 by the County’s Public and Environmental Health Advisory Board (PEHAB). An Integrated Pest Management Task Force was established to look at the County’s use of pesticides and ways of reducing them through the use of IPM. In January 2009, an IPM Coordinator was hired and in November 2009 the Task Force was dissolved and the IPM Advisory Committee was formed to take its place.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

At the Transportation, Water and Infrastructure Committee meeting on December 5, 2013, the Michael Kent presented the report on the progress of the County’s IPM program. The report contains the accomplishments of the Departmental IPM Programs, the IPM Advisory Committee, and the IPM Coordinator for 2013.
The report was accepted by the Committee and referred to the Board.
