APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Agricultural Commissioner, or designee, to sign Agreement #C1239306 with the
California Department of Parks and Recreation, in an amount not to exceed $12,000, to reimburse the County to
control invasive, non-native plant species at Mt. Diablo State Park and the Marsh Creek State Historic Park. The
agreement will be in effect through July 1, 2015.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact on the County or the Department. This agreement reimburses the department of
expenditures incurred in an amount not to exceed $12,000.
BACKGROUND:
The invasive weed species that are to be controlled threaten the native environment of the parks as well as rare and
endangered plant species that are present on park property. Targeted species also have the potential of negative
impact to public and equestrian use of the parks by forming barriers to hikers and trail riders. All work will be
performed consistent with all relevant laws and policies pertaining to environmental protection and the use of
herbicides. The department will submit and maintain all records regarding application of herbicides, and will provide
copies of those records to California State Parks.
