DISCUSSION The Orange County Vector Control District, which was formed in 1947, is responsible for protecting public health by controlling rats, flies, mosquitoes, red fire ants and other vector - related problems. The District has proposed a Countywide assessment on all property to provide funding to continue the red fire ant program, improve mosquito control, establish the West Nile Virus Disease Program, and monitor and test for disease. Under the provisions of Proposition 218, any publicly owned property must be assessed when it receives a benefit from a proposed assessment district. Therefore, the Agency will receive a ballot as a property owner in the district. Recognizing the need to continue the program to eradicate the red fire ant and to monitor and test for diseases transmitted by mosquitoes, staff recommends that the Agency authorize the Executive Director to cast the ballots in favor of the assessment. 1 4 Motion Authorizing the Executive Director to Cast Agency's Vote Regarding Proposed Orange County Vector Control District Assessment July 6, 2004 Page 2 FISCAL IMPACT If approved, the Agency's anticipated assessment in the first year will be less than $2,000.
