MOORPARK CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA REPORT
TO: Honorable City Council
FROM: Shaun Kroes, Program Manager
DATE: 11/04/2020 Regular Meeting
SUBJECT: Consider a Cooperative Agreement with the State Department of
Public Health and Agencies Applying Pesticides for Public Health
Purposes
BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION
A Cooperative Agreement between the City and the California Department of Public
Health must be renewed annually to meet certain reporting and certification
requirements in the California Health and Safety Code that apply to the City’s Vector
Control Division. The Cooperative Agreement was established between the State and
local agencies to streamline regulation of vector control programs by exempting them
from some of the more costly and time-consuming regulations that are more appropriate
for other pesticide uses, such as agricultural application and commercial pest control.
The Cooperative Agreement, attached, allows the County Agricultural Commissioner to
review the City’s pesticide application records and inspect the City’s mosquito and
vector control facilities. The alternative to the Cooperative Agreement would be for the
City to follow a much stricter standard for application of pesticides, one that may exceed
the standards deemed necessary and appropriate for the control of vector-borne
diseases by the State Department of Health Services and other public health agencies.
This Agreement has the same language and terms as the previous Agreements.
FISCAL IMPACT
None.
COUNCIL GOAL COMPLIANCE
This action does not support a current strategic directive.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Approve the 2021 Cooperative Agreement and authorize the Mayor to execute the
Agreement on behalf of the City.
