ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION: The proposed action is not a project as defined by 14 California Code of Regulations 15378 (State CEQA Guidelines) and therefore CEQA is not applicable.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
Amendment No.1 to Revenue Agreement No. 170682B provides for the reimbursement of costs associated with the Exotic Pest Detection Trapping Program. CALTRAP is a new application which relies on data from three contributor types to manage trapping routes, collect data out in the field, and generate trapping reports. Equipment needed to satisfy agreement requirements include iPads and accessories for field staff. This amendment reimburses the County for the purchase of 20 iPads and accessories, training to use the application, and uploading existing trapping data into the system.
