BACKGROUND
Agreement No. 170213B provides for reimbursement of costs associated with the Glassy-winged Sharpshooter (GWSS) program. GWSS has been determined to be an effective vector for Pierce’s Disease which poses a significant and eminent threat to Napa County’s grape and wine industries. This contract helps fund GWSS trapping, detection, and inspection of nursery plants coming into Napa County from GWSS infested counties.
This agreement is coming late to the Board due to delays in Federal funding.
Requested Action:
1. Approve and authorize Agreement No. 170213B with the California Department of Food & Agriculture for a maximum of $184,841 for reimbursement of expenditures related to detection and exclusion of the Glassy-winged Sharpshooter.
