RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Agricultural Commissioner, or designee, to execute an agreement with the California Department of Food and Agriculture in an amount not to exceed $23,443 to place and service traps for the detection of the European Grapevine Moth from January 1, 2018 through December 31, 2018.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The agreement reimburses the department for all associated costs incurred for the implementation of the European Grapevine Moth Program in an amount not to exceed $23,443. There is no County match of funds requirement. This revenue was anticipated in the FY 18/19 departmental budget.

BACKGROUND:

The County Department of Agriculture will provide all trapping materials, training of trappers, and deploy appropriate traps and service them at regular intervals according to the Insect Trapping Guide provided by the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA). If European Grapevine Moth (EGVM) is detected it will be delimited and controlled/eradicated. Costs will be reimbursed by CDFA in an amount not to exceed $23,443. EGVM and it's vectors are a clear and present danger to Contra Costa County's agricultural commodity of grapes.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Failure to approve this agreement will result in lost revenue for the department and a possible threat to the agricultural grape industry in Contra Costa County.
