Executive Summary:
I would like to ask the Board to adopt the attached resolution approving the amended agreement with the California Department of Food and Agriculture for the Glassy-Winged Sharpshooter (GWSS) Agreement for the new period of July 1, 2025 - September 30, 2027, in the amount of $71,377.56. This is an increase to the agreement by $27,402.39 that was approved by your Board on October 07, 2025. This agreement includes reimbursement for trapping, inspection, and control of the Glassy Wing Sharpshooter.

Should the Board adopt the proposed Resolution, please have the chair sign one (1) original of the standard agreement form and one (1) copy of the Board Resolution and return them to the Agricultural Department for further processing. A signed, completed copy will be returned for your records.
