MOORPARK CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA REPORT
TO: The Honorable City Council
FROM: Jennifer Mellon, Senior Management Analyst PIP—
DATE: October 8, 2010 (CC meeting of October 20, 2010)
SUBJECT: Consider a Cooperative Agreement with the State Department of
Public Health Regarding Applying Pesticides for Public Health
Purposes
BACKGROUND
Each year the State Department of Health Services Cooperative Agreement is renewed to
meet certain reporting and certification requirements for the City Mosquito and Vector
Control Division program. This Agreement has the same language and terms as the
previous annual Cooperative Agreement. The standards adopted in the agreement
exempt public vector control agencies, such as the City of Moorpark, from more onerous
requirements for pesticide application under the State Health and Safety Code. The
Cooperative Agreement was established between the State and local public agencies to
streamline some of the costly and time - consuming regulations that are more appropriate
for other pesticide uses, such as agricultural application and commercial pest control.
DISCUSSION
The Cooperative Agreement (Attachment "A ") 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 more stringent standard for application of pesticides, one that
may exceed the standards deemed necessary and appropriate for the control of vector -
borne disease by the State Department of Health Services and other public health
agencies.
