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 $76,906 to reimburse the County to place and monitor traps for the Asian Citrus Psyllid for the period of October 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This agreement reimburses the Department of Agriculture in an amount not to exceed $76,906. There is no County match of funds or cost share requirements. This revenue is budgeted in the FY 2022-23 budget. (100% State funds)

BACKGROUND:

This agreement will reimburse the Department for conducting trapping activities to verify Contra Costa County is free of Asian Citrus Psyllid and if one is found to ensure prompt eradication before it spreads and causes harm to Agriculture and the environment.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Failure to accept this agreement will cause a loss of revenue to the Department used to protect farmers, homeowners, and the environment from a potential infestation.
