In January 2020, CDFA began offering weed control funding to County Agricultural Commissioners through a weed grant program made possible through the Governor's Biodiversity Noxious Weed Management Initiative. On June 22, 2021, your Board approved Cooperative Agreement No. 20-0971-000-SA (File #21-747), which provided a second year of funding to Humboldt County to continue weed control projects begun during the first year of the grant program in 2020. The agreement provided $64,000 to Humboldt County for work performed from Jan. 15, 2021, to June 30, 2023. On October 7, 2021, a professional services agreement was approved to subcontract services with Redwood Community Action Agency (RCAA). These services include knotweed, shining geranium and tansy removal, the costs of which shall not exceed $15,313. Those services are funded by revenue from NWGP.
This agenda item is recognizing revenue and expenditure accounts in support of department activities associated with work performed in the NWGP.
