RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Agricultural Commissioner, or designee, to execute Agreement #15-0289 with the California Department of Food and Agriculture for reimbursement in an amount not to exceed $766,211. to provide pest detection services for the period July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Agreement #15-0289 will reimbursement the Department for expenses incurred, not to exceed $766,211, during the period beginning July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016, for pest detection work performed on behalf of the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) in Contra Costa County. The total cost of this program is expected to be $998,923. Cost of $283,007 will come from the general fund, which should bring an expected $113,203 revenue from Gas tax in FY16/17. This revenue has been anticipated in the departments 15/16 budget.

BACKGROUND:

The county shall provide services for placing and servicing of traps for the detection of exotic insect pests, which are considered hazardous to agriculture and the economy of California. The insects may include, but are not limited to the Mediterranean Fruit Fly, Mexican Fruit Fly, Oriental Fruit Fly, Melon Fly, Gypsy Moth and Japanese Beetle. This list is not inclusive and may contain other invasive exotic pests as identified. This agreement includes delimitation work associated with the detection of one or more life stages of target pests in the county.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

A negative action would result in loss of revenue to the Department and possible threat to our local agriculture and residents of Contra Costa County.
