Public and member comments on items not on the agenda: No public <br />present. <br />Discussion of progress of IPM resolution: per Joe, many departments are <br />involved, including Coal Creek golf course and the mosquito abatement program. <br />Joe will produce a draft IPM document to present to the city manager and to the <br />city council within the next six months. He is also coordinating with Dean as <br />Dean becomes familiar with specific locations and issues throughout Louisville. <br />Discussion of alternatives to using 2,4-D for control of broadleaf weeds: Weed <br />control in parks and medians has suffered this summer, partly due to <br />discontinuation of use of 2,4-D since early spring; and partly due to lack of <br />communication with CoCal and the fact that hand-pulling of weeds was not <br />included in their contract. <br />Discussion of maintenance of flower beds in Community Park and throughout <br />Louisville: Current staffing levels seem inadequate to maintain all plantings.
