LCityof <br />Louisville <br />COLORADO • SINCE 1878 <br />and it was recommended we present this to council during <br />our study session. <br />VI. Public comments on Items Not on the Agenda: A letter <br />from Bev Snyder was read expressing her concern about <br />the use of Glyphosate and 2-4-D in our parks. The City's <br />goal is to limit exposure to the public. <br />VII. Discussion on Herbicide Use in Playgrounds: Lucia has <br />a petition with 330 signatures for no spraying with 2 <br />chemicals. There is concern with the grass as well as sand <br />being sprayed. She noted Boulder's promotion to the public <br />of Healthier Parks = Healthier People. She noted the <br />Pleasant View Fields an athletic field award they won with <br />not using pesticides. It was suggested she check with CU <br />and their possible organic weed control. <br />What council is looking to PPLAB for regarding use of <br />herbicides is—what are the options? –what are the <br />consequences? –what is the economic impact? If it is <br />decided to review the Integrative Weed Management <br />Program, then it would require OSAB as well. Joe Stevens <br />will let us know of short term solutions that can be <br />implemented with the focus on playgrounds first. There are <br />14 playgrounds in Louisville. <br />VIII. Continued Discussion on Parks Scorecard: Dean can <br />assign a weight to each category and will come up with a <br />new scorecard. <br />IX. Adoption of Bylaws <br />X. Discussion on Adding a Permanent OSAB Agenda Item <br />to Future PPLAB Agenda: It was decided the tiger team <br />OSAB update would be under "Board Updates" rather than <br />a separate agenda item. <br />XI. Agenda Items for Next Meeting: Discussion on Herbicide <br />use and alternatives for active playgrounds. Parks <br />scorecards 2017 Goals. <br />xri.
