RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Agricultural Commissioner, or designee, to execute an agreement containing modified indemnification language and accept reimbursement in an amount not to exceed $4,500 from The Center for Natural Land Management for the provision of noxious weed control services in Windermere Preserve for the period February 28, 2020 through September 30, 2020.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This agreement will reimburse the Agriculture Department in an amount not to exceed $4,500 for noxious weed control services in Windermere Preserve. There is no county match of 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.
