City Council Meeting

MOORPARK CITY COUNCIL -- -
AGENDA REPORT
TO: Honorable City Council
FROM: Dave Klotzle, City Engineer/Public Works Director
Prepared by: John Brand, Senior Management Analyst ?(5-7
DATE: November 18, 2014 (CC Meeting of 12/03/2014)
SUBJECT: Consider a Cooperative Agreement with the State Department of
Health Services and Agencies Applying Pesticides for Public Health
Purposes
DISCUSSION
This Cooperative Agreement must be renewed annually to meet certain reporting and
certification requirements in the California Health & Safety Code that apply to the City's
Mosquito and Vector Control Division program. 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 (Attachment 1) requires the City to adhere to certain
standards for calibration, record keeping, record retention, and staff certification. It also
allows the County Agricultural Commissioner to review 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.
