RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Agricultural Commissioner, or designee, to execute Agreement #18-0029 Pest Exclusion with the California Department of Food and Agriculture for reimbursement not to exceed $12,075 to perform pest exclusion and high-risk inspections and enforcement activities for the period July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This agreement reimburses the department in an amount not to exceed $12,075 to support inspection and enforcement activities on behalf of the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA). The revenue from this agreement was anticipated in the department's FY 2018-19 budget. There is no County match of funds.

BACKGROUND:

Agreement #18-0029 Pest Exclusion sets activity levels that are designed for Contra Costa County based on historical workloads and costs on a negotiated work plan to maintain optimal services. This agreement does not cover the entire cost of high-risk activities in the County, but improves the service level in regards to enforcement of quarantines that are designed to keep exotic and invasive pests out of California and Contra Costa County.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Failure to accept Agreement #18-0029 Pest Exclusion will mean a loss of revenue to the department and increased costs to support the inspections and enforcement activities as mandated by the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA).
