☒Recommendation of the County Administrator ☐ Recommendation of Board Committee
RECOMMENDATIONS:
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Agricultural Commissioner, or designee, to execute a contract with the California Department of Food and Agriculture in an amount not to exceed $36,000 to reimburse the County for trapping and detection of the European Grapevine Moth for the period of July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This agreement reimburses the Department of Agriculture in an amount not to exceed $36,000. This is no County match of funds or cost share requirements. This revenue is budgeted in the FY 2025-2026 budget. 100% State funds.
BACKGROUND:
This agreement will reimburse the Department for conducting insect trapping to verify we are free of the European Grapevine Moth in Contra Costa County and to protect California grape growers from potential infestation of this devasting grape pest.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Failure to accept this agreement will cause a loss of revenue for the Department to protect local growers from an injurious pest.
