body
BACKGROUND
On October 15, 2024 the Board approved renewal of a revenue agreement with California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) for a maximum of $131,964 for the term July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2025 for reimbursement of services for the Statewide Pest Detection Program (placing, monitoring, reporting, and inspection of insect traps). CDFA has subsequently identified $56,221 to support additional trapping for the Winegrape Skeletonizer and CALTRAP activities for a new agreement total of $188,185.
This agreement is coming late to the Board due to delays in Federal funding.
Requested Action:
Approve and authorize Amendment No. 1 for Agreement No. 170682B with CDFA for a maximum of $188,185 for reimbursement of expenditures associated with activities related to the detection of exotic pests.
