From:Jeanette Rodez <br />To:City Council <br />Subject:Meeting 2/25/2020 - herbicide usage <br />Date:Monday, February 24, 2020 3:26:37 PM <br />Dear city council, I am a Louisville resident who resides off of Hoover Ave & Bella Vista. I <br />would like to let the council know that me and my family oppose the usage of <br />herbicides (glyphosate and 2,4-D). We love opening up our windows and enjoying our <br />backyard. However, knowing that the city still uses mentioned herbicides we on occasion have <br />to close windows and stop enjoying our backyard because we know of the health risks the <br />herbicides pose. We believe it is the cities responsibility to protect its citizens and hope that <br />the council will vote against the usage of the herbicides. There are other natural alternative out <br />there to keep weeds at pay. Plus did you know dandelions make great jam? My son and I <br />collected dandelions prior to the herbicide application last spring and made some jam (recipe: <br />https://www.homeherbals.com/dandelion-jam.html) <br />With kind regards, <br />Jeanette <br />13
