RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Agricultural Commissioner, or designee, to execute a contract containing modified indemnification language and accept reimbursement in an amount not to exceed $5,000 from The Center for Natural Land Management for the provision of noxious weed control services in Windemere Preserve for the period January 10, 2018 through September 30, 2018.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This agreement will reimburse the Agriculture Department in an amount not to exceed $5,000 for noxious weed control services in Windemere Preserve. There is no county match of funds, nor grant money involved.

BACKGROUND:

The Agriculture Department shall supply appropriate product to spray noxious weeds (artichoke thistle and purple-star thistle) with the use of backpack sprayers and all-terrain

vehicles. The noxious weed control services are limited to those locations where noxious weeds have been located, identified and pose a public, economic, environmental or recreational nuisance.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If not approved, the Department would have a loss in revenue and the County may face the spread of noxious weeds.
