BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The DPH Mosquito and Vector Control Program (Program) provides a wide range of control and abatement services throughout the county to prevent and minimize public exposure to diseases transmitted by mosquitoes or other animals capable of spreading diseases to humans, such as dengue virus, West Nile virus, Zika virus, encephalitis, and malaria.
Under the Program, DPH addresses routine service requests, inspects potential sources of disease-carrying vectors, and takes action to mitigate risks to the public, which includes surveying, trapping, identifying, and testing vectors that could potentially transmit diseases. DPH supplies pesticides, application tools, equipment, staff, and all other necessary supplies to deliver the contracted surveillance and abatement services.
On March 26, 2024 (Item No. 58), the Board of Supervisors (Board) approved Revenue Contract No. 24-286 with the Town of Yucca Valley, in the amount of $149,637.50, for the period of April 1, 2024 through June 30, 2026, for the provision of vector control services.
On August 5, 2025 (Item No. 62), the Board approved Amendment No. 1 to Revenue Contract No. 24-286, correcting the dates listed on the compensation table, with no change to the contract amount of $149,637.50, or the contract period of April 1, 2024 through June 30, 2026.
The Amendment No. 2 would allow DPH to continue providing vector control services to the Town of Yucca Valley, helping to reduce public exposure to parasites and pathogens.
