Commission approves $69,587.50 draft mosquito-control grant agreement; commissioners ask about spraying procedures
Summary
Board approved a draft state financial assistance agreement for mosquito control with a grant amount of $69,587.50; commissioners asked whether spraying is routine or only by citizen request and requested staff return with details.
Jackson County commissioners approved a draft fiscal-year state financial assistance agreement with the health department to fund mosquito-control treatments and reporting. Staff told the board the new grant amount is $69,587.50 and described the agreement as substantially similar to the prior year’s contract but with an increased award.
Commissioners pressed staff on operational details, asking whether spraying occurs only at citizens' requests or routinely. Staff said the health department responds to citizen calls and will perform treatments inside and outside municipalities when requested; staff said they would follow up and report back at the next meeting on whether routine sprays are scheduled or only on-demand. The board voted by voice to approve the draft agreement.
