AGENDA SECTION:
CONSENT AGENDA
BACKGROUND/SUMMARY:
Since October 1, 2014, the County has provided pest detection trapping activities for Asian citrus psyllid under contract with the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA). On September 13, 2016, the contract was amended to fund the expanded trapping activities that resulted from four additional Asian citrus psyllid detections between April and July 2016. This contract supports the continuation of the trapping activities that help reduce the threat of ACP becoming established in San Benito County.
Work will be performed by current regular and seasonal staff. Due to the uncertainty of the continuation of this trapping program, budget estimates of revenue and line item appropriations were conservative. I am requesting the Agricultural Commissioner's FY2016/2017 budget be augmented to reflect the offsetting increase in revenue and increased line item appropriations for temporary help, vehicle expenses, agricultural and office supplies to support the required trapping activities.
