Background:

To be prepared to perform aerial spraying for mosquito control via aircraft, the County is required to submit a Congested Area Plan (CAP) to the Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) each calendar year.  As part of this application, the FAA requires a Letter of Authorization from the County, signed by an elected official for the FAA CAP.

Once the Letter of Authorization is executed, Clarke Environmental Mosquito Management, Inc. and Seminole County Mosquito Control Program will finalize the CAP for submittal to the FAA Flight Standards District Office (FSDO) for review and approval.

Requested Action:

Staff requests the Board to approve and authorize the Chairman to execute the Aerial Spraying Authorization letter by Seminole County to Clarke Environmental Mosquito Management, Inc. in preparation for aerial spraying, if needed, within Seminole County.
