Executive Summary:
I would like to ask the Board to adopt the attached resolution approving the agreement with the California Department of Food and Agriculture for the Glassy-Winged Sharpshooter (GWSS) Agreement which includes FY 2022-2024. The agreement amount is $56,515.76 and includes reimbursement for trapping, nursery inspections, crop inspections and high risk neighborhood inspections. The Glassy Wing Sharpshooter (GWSS) is a serious pest to wine grapes because it carries Pierce’s Disease, which is detrimental to the wine grape industry.
Should the Board adopt the proposed Resolution, please 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.
