APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Agricultural Commissioner, or his designee, to execute a contract (Agreement No.
09-0512) with the California Department of Food and Agriculture to reimburse the County in an amount not to exceed
$59,724 for high-risk pest exclusion activities.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This agreement provides revenue and will not result in an increase in net county cost or negatively impact the
Department budget.
BACKGROUND:
Legislation in 1997 encouraged a study to be conducted to evaluate the statutory and regulatory responsibilities and
appropriate funding sources for county agricultural commissioner programs. The study placed priority upon the pest
exclusion program and identified opportunities for improving and funding mandated activities.
In 1998 legislation was passed as a result of this study. The legislation was geared toward funding high-risk
exclusion activities performed by the county agricultural commissioners throughout the State.
