RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE Appropriations and Revenue adjustment No. 005041 authorizing new revenue in the amount of $17,521 from the California Department of Food & Agriculture and appropriating it for the purchase of two (2) all-terrain vehicles in the Department of Agriculture-Weights & Measures.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The Department of Agriculture will be reimbursed for the cost through a grant provided by California Department of Food & Agriculture (CDFA) to implement and carry out strategic weed control and eradication for artichoke thistle and purple star thistle previously approved on July 9, 2019, #18-00657-000-SG and #18-00656-000-SG.










BACKGROUND:

Contra Costa County Agriculture Weights and Measures Department has a long history of weed management and weed abatement. Artichoke Thistle (AT) and Purple Star Thistle (PST) are non-native invasive weeds that have generally infested Contra Costa County. Both, AT & PST, are classified as B rated pests and can be detrimental to our rangelands and our fragile regional state parks. We have built a strong relationship and work closely with the state park districts, regional water districts, various other entities, and private landowners to collectively control these weeds. The department will be implementing control methods that will protect endangered species as well as promote regrowth of native and desirable plants.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The department would be unable to fulfill the agreement timeline by using other outdated equipment.
