AGENDA REPORT of__ /0'
TO: The Honorable City Council
FROM: Jessica Sandifer, Program Mana• - 1�
DATE: October 6, 2017 (CC Meeting of October 18, 2017)
SUBJECT: Consider a Cooperative Agreement with the State Department of
Public Health and Agencies Applying Pesticides for Public Health
Purposes
BACKGROUND AND 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 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)
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
No fiscal impact.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Approve the Cooperative Agreement and authorize the Mayor to execute the
Agreement on behalf of the City.
