COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR'S REPORTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS: Vector Control Program Res. No R-43-87 Community Development Director Aguilera reported on the Vector Control Program sponsored by the San Bernardino County Department of Environ- mental Health Services, and established by the County Board of Super- visors on November 26, 1986, pursuant to the "Vectors Power Law". Mr. Aguilera said the City of Colton now has the opportunity to be included in the Vector Control Program, which will essentially mean that a bene- fit assessment on all developed parcels, ranging from $2.00 to $7.00, will be billed on the County Assessors tax roles. This benefit assess- ment will cover the cost of an intensified vector control program that will be designed to meet the sepcialized vector control needs in Colton. The services will be expanded under the new funding source to include more abatement services, such as professionally applying and monitoring pesticides and bait, free of charge to residents; also, inclusion in the County -wide vector control program ensures funding source for vector control in Colton and avoids volatility in control efforts as well as potential increases in disease producing vectors, such as rats, mos- quitoes, cockroaches, etc. Mr. Aguilera stated the County Department of Environmental Services will work with City Staff to further develop vector control strategy that fits the individual needs of Colton, and if the City Council wants to stop its participation in the County Vector Control Program, a reso- lution to that effect is the only requirement. Mr. Aguilera concluded Staff recommends support of the City utilizing benefit assessment financing through the San Bernardino County Vector Control Program, and adoption of Resolution No. R-43-87. Moved by Councilwoman Cisneros, seconded by Councilman Rios, to approve Staff's recommendation and Resolution No. R-43-87. Unanimous vote. RESOLUTION_ NO.
