BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
This agreement 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, outreach and inspection of nursery plants coming into Napa County from GWSS infested counties. This agreement allocates $369,988 over a two-year period to perform these activities as required.
