2-4-D Use
Supt. Kinsella reported having received two communications regarding
the use of 2-4-D; Comm. Gutenberger also received several communica-
tions regarding this subject. They will be discussed later in they/,,
agenda.
Spraying Chemicals -
Regina Plunkett, 334 S. Geneva Street, addressed the Board, speaking
in opposition to the use of 2-4=D in Cass Park.
Paul Sayvetz, 201 Elm Street, addressed the Board, expressing opposi-
tion to spraying with pesticides and herbicides.
Richard Pendleton, 326 Forest Home Drive, of the Dept. of Entomology,
C.U., in the Chemical Pesticide Program, addressed the Board,.offer-
ing recommendations to ensure that the Chemical Spraying Program
proposed by the Board is based on proper information. He made the
following suggestions: .5"//43
Herbicides are Pesticides.
September. or October, not May, is the most satisfactory
time to treat for dandelions.
Re. gypsy moths, the timing. is too early. It should be
from the middle of May to the end, and even into June.
• The only reason for diazinon use would be for high value
spots that have been missed the previous fall.
Amitrol, not Amitol.
Oftanol is preferred to Diazinon.
Poison ivy should be treated when visible and/or in full
foliage.
The main pest is the European Chafer, not the Japanese Beetle.
The treatment is the same for both. The European Chafer
is somewhat earlier in life history than the Japanese Beetle.
Trimec, not Trimex, is a herbicide, not an insectitude.
Substitute Dicamba for Dacthal; Dicamba is.a herbicide.
On p. 2, Application of Chemicals, the four points. are
already required by the Dept. of—Environmental Conserva-
tion. If they are not done, the City is in violation.
• Japanese Beetle Control - biological piles, not spray
(14B, Item 3); Bacillus, not Bacilus.
▪ For European Chafer control, Bacillus popillae is an
expensive exercise, not effective.
More frequent mowing of playing fields is not effective for
dandelions.
Weed control at fences and backstops. Use of Roundup in one -
foot swath under fence is effective, harmless and less work.
Mr. Pendleton asked the Board to get professional evaluation, consider
facts, and offered his services as an experienced person.
Joel Rabinowitz, 912. E. State Street, addressed.the Board in relation
to spraying, and expressed concern over the use of 2-4-D.
Nicholas Vandam, 1184 Ellis Hollow Road, expressed opposition to
spraying, saying there is an environmental cost in all sprays which
is difficult to quantify. Ecology Action recommends looking at
alternatives and compare.

Resolution To Close Public Hearing
By Comm. Gutenberger: Seconded by Comm. Gerkin
RESOLVED, That the public hearing on granite curbing and assessments
to property owners on Floral. Avenue be closed.
--Resolution Public Hearing Carried Unanimously
Comm. Gutenberger addressed the question of curbing on Floral Avenue;
commenting that the committee had spent considerable time discussing
curbing which is an eligible activity to be funded from CHIPS money.
The committee decided it is in the best interest of the city to install
curbing for the protection of the new road, and recommended to the
Board that since the curbing is fundable through CHIPS money which is
taxpayers' dollars, that it should be used to pay for the curbing and
not assess the property owners 50% as required by the Charter. How -,-
ever, the total amount of the project is roughly $50,000 more than
available funding. The committee recommend to the Board that the
whole question of the additional .$50,000 be made available from city
funds; it is a policy decision of the Common Council to decide about
the extra $50,000 and the ultimate 50% split of cost.
Comm. Gutenberger asked City Engineer Lund to describe to the Board
and others present why she recommends curbing be installed.
City Engineer Lund responded by explaining in detail why she recom-
mends that curbing be installed on Floral Avenue, and answered
questions from the floor.
Resolution
By Comm. Gutenberger: Seconded by Comm. Stone
RESOLVED, That the Board of Public Works reaffirms its resolution of
August 10, 1983 concerning. the $150,454 Alternate No. 2, Curbing,
subject to the approval of the Budget and Administration Committee
and the Common Council.
•Discussion followed on the floor -.which reflected the Board's feeling
that the information given them had been misleading; that the
alternates as presented to them actually are not alternates and they
had not totally understood this when they passed the resolution at
the meeting of August 10. Neither had they understood the timing of
the public hearing, and felt this was bad because the hearing was
called after the decision to have the curbs had actually been made
by the Board. However, at this point, some felt that they could not
change their decision because.of the need to protect the $500,000+
investment of theproject because they had not been given any alter-
nate to curbing -Thy. professional and technical staff. In addition,
they felt that. if there is a project which is going to result in an
assessment, the public hearing should not becalled after the contract
is let out to discuss how it is going to be assessed, but prior to
c`Il P-4II (3
awarding the contract. •
