SUBJECT: Agreement #06-0819 between Contra Costa County and the State of
California, Department of Food and Agriculture for reimbursement for
County-wide Light Brown Apple Moth Trapping
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION(SI:
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Agricultural Commissioner, or his designee, to execute an
agreement between Contra Costa County and the State of California, Department of Food and
Agriculture for reimbursement to the County for materials, supplies and labor necessary for
Light Brown Apple Moth trapping and survey activities from March 1, 2007 through June 30,
2007.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The agreement reimburses the County for expenditures incurred from March 1, .2007 through
June 30, 2007 in the amount of $37,339.34.
BACKGROUND:
Light Brown Apple Moth ("LBAM") was first discovered in the San Francisco Bay Area in
the late fall of 2006. In late February 2007, the State Department of Food and Agriculture
commenced an emergency insect trapping program, requiring Bay Area counties to
determine the extent of the infestation (also known as.the "delimitation protocol"). On May
2, 2007, a Federal Domestic Quarantine Order (DA-2007-42) was issued that required,
among other actions, county-wide trapping, involving additional traps and efforts beyond
what was anticipated in the State delimitation protocol.

SUBJECT: Light Brown Apple Moth Agreement (#06-0819) for the
period March 1, 2007 through June 30, 2007
DATE: March 11, 2008
PAGE: Page 2 of 2
Since spring of 2007, County Agricultural Commissioners have been performing LBAM
trapping at the County's expense, with the understanding that reimbursement from the
State of California, Department of Food and Agriculture would follow. The State
Department took some time allocating funding for the reimbursement, since both
emergency funds and Federal funds were necessary.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Failure to approve Contract #06-0819 will result in a loss of revenue to the Department of
Agriculture in the form of lost compensation for work actually performed from March 1, 2007
through June 30, 2007. .
