HomeMy WebLinkAboutMINUTES - 07132010 - C.110RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE AND AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent to purchase, on behalf of the
Agriculture/Weights & Measures Department, a vehicle needed to comply with USDA
specifications for transporting canine safely to Bay Area shipping terminals for package
inspections.
FISCAL IMPACT:
FY 2009/10 California Department of Food and Agriculture contract funds will be used to
purchase vehicle.
BACKGROUND:
The purpose of the program is to provide assistance in pest exclusion on a regional basis to
Contra Costa County and eleven other participating counties. The use of canine teams
enhances pest exclusion detections due to the canine's ability to detect agricultural
commodities that are shipped in unmarked containers in violation of state quarantine laws.
The goal is to intercept and thereby prevent the introduction of unwanted plant pests,
including insect species, diseases or other harmful organisms that may pose a threat to the
economic well being of the State and counties.
