INTEROFFICE MEMO

TO: Supervisor Tom Powers
FROM: Rich Bartke
RE: Mosquito Abatement District
Dear Tom:
I understand that your Environmental Health Division wrote a
preliminary report in August 1988 proposing to establish a county-wide
service area for vector control, which could include:
Rat bait program.
Plague surveillance.
Education and enforcement.
Answering complaints.
Skunk trapping to control rabies.
As I understand it, this proposal would require LAFCO approval,
but not an election.
Tom, it is my belief that state statute allows mosquito abatement
districts to be vector control districts, and that some counties in
California have done so.
May I suggest that the County's proposal be forwarded to the
Contra Costa Mosquito Abatement District to see if CCMAD can do the
same job more efficiently.
Thank you,
Richard H. Bartke,
County Delegate to CCMAD
