Contract No. 07-0795 proposes to reimburse the County in an amount not to exceed $21,568 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. Contract No. 07-0795 sets activity levels that are designed for Contra Costa County based on historical workloads, costs and a negotiated work plan to maintain optimal service levels. The agreement improves the service level of high-risk exclusion activities in the county.

Food and Agricultural Code of California 2282.5. (a) The development of work plans for allocation of the funding appropriated in the Budget Act to the department for local assistance for agricultural plant and animal pest and disease prevention shall be the responsibility of the department. The department shall establish criteria for the development of the work plans and for allocating the appropriated funds. (b) Of the amount appropriated in the Budget Act to the department for local assistance for agricultural plant and animal pest and disease prevention, five million five hundred thousand dollars ($5, 500, 000) shall be utilized solely for high-risk pest exclusion activities. The work plans for the exclusion of high-risk pests shall be developed by the department with the county agricultural commissioners and in consultation with affected industry representatives. In order to determine the effectiveness of high-risk pest exclusion programs in each county, the criteria established by the department for the work plan shall include, but need not be limited to, the following: (1) The number of high-risk plant shipments entering each county. (2) The number. of high-risk entry points in each county. (3) The number of state action quarantine pests intercepted or detected annually in each county. (4) The work hours expended by each county in conducting exclusion of high- risk pests. (5) The rate of interceptions and rejections per inspection activity. (c) To remain eligible for funding under this section, a county shall maintain its support of ongoing operational costs of the county agricultural commissioner programs listed in subdivision (b) of Section 2282, at 1997-98 fiscal year levels. (d) Funds allocated for high-risk pest exclusion activities pursuant to subdivision (b) may not be expended for any purpose other than the exclusion or detection of high-risk pests consistent with the work plans prescribed in subdivision (a) or scientific evaluation. Funds allocated by each county on or after September 28, 1998, shall not be allocated to other programs listed in subdivision (b) of Section 2282 until the county work plan is approved by the department consistent with the funding appropriated in the Budget Act to the department for local assistance for agricultural plant and animal pest and disease prevention for this purpose. Agreement No.07-0795 Exhibit A Attachment 13 Page 4 of 10 COUNTY HIGH RISK PEST EXCLUSION PROGRAM ESTIMATED WORK PLAN GUIDELINES PROGRAM DEFINITIONS High-Risk Shipments: are those where there exists a high degree of likelihood that one or more "A" or"Q" rated plant pests will be introduced into or spread within the State by movement or entry of the shipment. "A" and"Q" rated plant pests have been determined to have potential for causing severe damage to the State's agricultural industry, natural resources, or environment, and as such any shipment likely to harbor such pests is considered high-risk. All high-risk shipments are to be inspected. Non-high-risk parcels ("Flower of the Month Club" bulbs,bare-root nursery stock from areas which do not represent a serious quarantine risk, plant materials from California origin with nursery certification, etc.) moving through a"high-risk" facility may be monitored via profiling and inspected as time allows during the premise visit. These shipments will not be included as "high-risk" shipments inspected. High—risk shipments which should be inspected include such items as cut flowers and nursery stock from quarantine areas, any plant materials in unmarked parcels, and other plant material shipments which have a historical record of"A" and "Q" rated pest interceptions. High-Risk Pathways: those facilities where high-risk shipments are regularly or frequently intercepted. The known high-risk pathways have been listed on the Estimate of High-Risk Pest Exclusion Activities, including U.S. Postal Distribution Centers, UPS (except local), Federal Express, Air Freight, Air Freight Forwarded, Truck Referrals (oo8a-Gypsy Moth, 008-Plants & 008-Other), Specialty Markets, Swap Meets, Post Entry Quarantine, and "Other" pathways identified in your work plans and approved by the Department. Shipments Inspected: Shipments physically opened and examined. This is not packages or pots inspected. A shipment is one lot of plant material sent from one shipper to one receiver via one mode of transport. Rejections: Number of state level rejection notices written. This does not include rejections of materials for failing to meet nursery standards of cleanliness, or materials rejected for B or C rated pests. Any time a live A or Q rated pest is found in a shipment a rejection notice should be issued. Pest Interceptions: Number of "A" and "Q" pest interceptions. When more than one pest species is found in a single shipment, each different species is to be counted as an interception. Finding more than one pest of the same species does not equate to multiple interceptions. U.S. Post Office: Postal distribution centers formerly known as sectional centers that sort mail sealed against inspection (first-class, priority, and express mail parcels). United Parcel Service (except local service): Facilities which process parcels shipped via overnight or expedited service versus facilities that process only parcels moving locally. Air Freight: Air cargo shipments inspected at the airport facility or at destination (see next item). Air Freight/Forwarded: Shipments allowed to proceed to destination or another location for inspection within the same county or to another county and under a warning hold notice (blue tag) or by compliance agreement authorization. Agreement No.07-0795 Exhibit A Attachment 3 Page 5 of 10 Truck (008a): Shipments of historically high-risk household articles from historically high-risk areas that require inspection for gypsy moth. Truck (008-Plants & 008-Other): High-risk shipments moving to destination under quarantine hold notice. This does not include blue-tagged intrastate shipments of nursery stock inspected for glassy winged sharpshooters. Post-Entry Quarantine Inspections: These inspections include both site and plant inspections. A shipment should be recorded when plant material is inspected. Other: This column is to be used to estimate the workload for any high-risk pathway not already listed on the form; these may include: pet stores or aquariums, express parcel carriers, sea freight forwarded or other special focus activities approved by the Department. Special focus activities are then to be described under "Special Focus Description". ACCOUNTING GUIDELINES Program cost estimates for high-risk exclusion activities conducted at optimal levels are to be estimated based upon the guidelines and definitions contained within the County Agricultural Commissioners' Annual Financial Statement Procedures Manual. This cost/hour figure is to be estimated from an average of the costs/hour for Fiscal Years 1999/2000, 2000/2001 and 2001/2002. A county may choose to use their established County Auditor approved hourly rate in lieu of the three-year average. This would be the rate charged an applicant for phytosanitary or other type of certification if such a rate is established. PROGRAM GUIDELINES 1. All inspections of high-risk terminal points are to be conducted as close to optimal service levels as is fiscally possible. 2. Optimal service level inspections are those conducted during the sort time(s) or before the last critical dispatch(s) of the facility monitored. 3. All high-risk shipments are to be inspected. Shipments not presenting a high risk that are moving through a high-risk facility may be monitored and inspected as time permits, but should not be included as a program cost or counted as a measure under this work plan. 4. A shipment is any amount of agriculturally regulated product/packages/potted plants from one specific shaper, in one shipment sent to one specific consignee.

Agency Liability The Contractor warrants by execution of this Agreement, that no person or selling agency has been employed or retained to solicit or secure this Agreement upon agreement or understanding for a commission, percentage, brokerage, or contingent fee, excepting bona fide employees or bona fide established commercial or selling agencies maintained by the Contractor for the purpose of securing business.
