RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Agricultural Commissioner, or designee, to execute a contract with the East Bay Regional Park District to reimburse the County in an amount not to exceed $10,000 to perform vertebrate control services in Regional Parks in the County for the period June 1, 2022 through December 31, 2022.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this agreement will result in reimbursement to the County in an amount not to exceed $10,000 for Vertebrate Control services in various East Bay Regional Parks. There is no County match. (100% State funds)

BACKGROUND:

The Department of Agriculture will supply products and labor to provide Ground Squirrel control services that have been approved by East Bay Regional Park District's Integrated Pest Management department. Products will be distributed at East Bay Regional Parks within the jurisdiction and operation of the Department. The Department will ensure product is in compliance with all Federal and State laws and regulations. This agreement has a mutual indemnification provision, which provides that each party will defend and indemnify the other for injuries or losses arising out of the performance of the agreement.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

A negative action would cause loss of revenue to the Department and an increase in the number of ground squirrels causing property damage in East Bay Regional Parks and eventually into adjacent properties.
