recommendation
a) AGREEMENT - Request approval and authorization for the Chairperson to sign Amendment No. 1 to Misc Agree. 2026-012 for the Cooperative Service Agreement No. 26-7306-7593-RA, Work and Financial Plan with the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), Animal Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), Wildlife Services (WS) for the Wildlife Damage Management (IWDM) program, amending the “Vehicles” and “Other Services” line-item dollar amounts in all columns, with a maximum compensation to remain the same in an amount not to exceed $24,599.84 to provide Wildlife Management Services effective 1/1/26 and shall terminate 6/30/26
body
Financial Impact:
The Amendment is correcting erroneous line-item dollar amounts only. “Subtotal (Direct Charges)” and “Agreement Total” remain the same as the original agreement. There is no additional impact to the General Fund.
Background Information:
The Board approved the original USDA-APHIS-WS Cooperative Services Agreement and Work and Financial Plan (Misc. Agreement 2026-012) to establish and maintain a USDA-APHIS-WS Integrated Wildlife Damage Management (IWDM) program in Tehama County at the January 27, 2026, Board Meeting.
The dollar amounts for line-items “Vehicles” and “Other Services” were incorrect and did not equal the “Subtotal (Direct Charges)” and “Agreement Total”. The Amendment to the USDA-APHIS-WS Agreement Work and Financial Plan corrects the line-item dollar amounts to now total the “Subtotal (Direct Charges)” and “Agreement Total” reflected in the original agreement.
