TAX INCREASE USAGE POINTS
- Pesticide Storage Building - The current pesticide storage building was built 27 years ago and does not accommodate the high use of palleted material or larger quantities of liquid product. We need to be able to safely handle and properly store mosquito control products. Liquid products are increasing and the containers being received have a higher capacity of product so we need to be able to properly contain those products and store larger quantities of liquid adulticide products
- Chemical Usage - Mosquito control product usage has changed a great deal. Regular occurrence of West Nile Virus, new products becoming available for use, and the growth of the county has increased the need for adult mosquito control products. The growth of subdivision in Davis County moving closer and closer to the mosquito habitat has required us to use more products and increase our equipment use to cover the increased amounts of streets and subdivisions for adult mosquito control.
- New Adulticide - A new mosquito adulticide product has become available. The mosquitoes have built some resistance to the product that has been used for many years. This new product is very effective but costly. It will also help reduce the resistance to the cheaper product to increase its use more into the future. (cost example $75.00 per gallon for current product to $295.00 per gallon for new product)
- Drone Usage - implementation of the use of spray drones. This has been a good beneficial addition to the control of mosquito larvae. The implementation of drone use has increased the amount of granular product coming into the facility and increased the need for safer handling and proper storage of the granular products. Our current building is not set up for easy use movement of palleted products.
- Laboratory and Mosquito Surveillance - Surveillance is a key component of our operations. In-house RT-PCR testing for mosquito borne diseases is critical to reacting to virus activity in a timely manner. Currently the surveillance and laboratory operations are being conducted out of multiple building used for operations and storage. We are increasing our lab capacity and surveillance capabilities and adding new CO2 tank traps.
- Employee Needs - The increase of personnel especially seasonal employees has exceeded capacity in our locker rooms. Expansion of locker room facilities for the employees is needed to accommodate the current employee numbers and potential growth of the future. Additional office space f
