Sec. B28-1. Intent and purpose.

The County, in carrying out its operations, finds it necessary from time to time to use pesticides on County property. The intent of this division is to protect the health and safety of County employees and the general public, the environment, and water quality, as well as to provide sustainable solutions for pest control on County property. The Board of Supervisors hereby finds and declares that it shall be the policy of the County of Santa Clara to eliminate or reduce pesticide applications on County property to the maximum extent feasible. Preference shall be given to available non-pesticide alternatives, where feasible, before considering the use of pesticides on County property.

This division concerns the application of pesticides to property owned by the County of Santa Clara only, and does not concern the application of pesticides to property that is not owned by the County of Santa Clara.
