RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Agricultural Commissioner, or designee, to execute an agreement with The Center for Natural Land Management in an amount not to exceed $9,000, for provision by the County of noxious weed control services in Windermere Preserve, San Ramon, for the period of January 26, 2021 through September 30, 2022.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This agreement will reimburse the Agriculture Department in an amount not to exceed $9,000 for noxious weed control services in Windermere Preserve. There is no county match for funds.

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.
