BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
AGENDA REQUEST
DATE: October 7, 2014
TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
FROM: Jason Autrey
SUBJECT: Mosquito Control - FY15 FDACS Agreement
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
BCC DISTRICT: All
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: Each year the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer
Services (FDACS) offers a grant to provide financial assistance to Florida Mosquito Control
(MC) Districts. Acceptance of the funding is predicated by a Contractual Agreement between
FDACS and the governing body of MC District.
BACKGROUND: The Okaloosa County Mosquito Control District has partnered with FDACS
through the execution of an annual grant agreement for many years. Funding levels are
dependent on legislative action. For the past several years, FDACS grants typically range
between 5% and 7% of the total MC budget. The amount offered in the FY15 grant agreement is
$31,540 or 4.9% of the FY15 MC budget. These funds will be earmarked for the purchase of
chemical pesticide.
OPTIONS: Approve/Disapprove
RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends the Board authorize the Chairman to execute the
FY15 FDACS grant agreement and authorize the Chairman to sign future FDACS
documentation associated with the FY14 State grant process.
