Lindy Hoyt requested the City Council to agendize banning Roundup and all synthetic
pesticides.
Rigel Bowen requested the City Council to not agendize the banning of synthetic pesticides
prior to a scientific investigation.
For the record, Councilmember Mackenzie stated that he has spent a lifetime as a pesticide
regulator for the United States Environmental Protection Agency, has a PhD in Weed Science,
is intimately familiar with the pesticide use reporting system conducted by the agricultural
commissioners in California Department of Pesticide Regulation, and has a strong interest in
these matters. Councilmember Mackenzie requested that City Manager Jenkins report on the
City's current use of glyphosate.
City Manager Jenkins reported Public Works & Community Services Director McArthur
provided the following on the City's practice for using glyphosate in the community is
consistent with the City's Integrated Pest Management program. Staff does not apply
glyphosate for weed control in areas accessed by the public, such as parks and recreation
centers. Glyphosate is applied in street medians and streetscape areas as these locations are
not accessed by the public. We are aware of the growing public health concerns with using
glyphosate, and have incrementally reduced the use of the product while actively looking into,
and testing, alternative methods of weed control. Some alternative methods under
consideration include more efficient application, timing and coverage of pre -emergent weed
control, alternative treatments, as well as mulching.
