Board adopts low‑impact pesticide list for district IPM plan over one dissent
Summary
The board approved a low‑impact pesticide list to use in the district Integrated Pest Management (IPM) plan. The motion carried on a recorded vote of 6–1, with Chair‑elect Crystal Rostecil recorded as voting no.
District staff requested board approval of a low‑impact pesticide list to be incorporated into the district’s Integrated Pest Management (IPM) plan. A staff presenter described the change and asked the board to approve the list or, if the board wanted additional information, to table the item for a future meeting.
The moderator recognized the motion and called a roll‑call vote. The minutes record the motion carried 6–1; the moderator recorded that Crystal voted no. The staff member framed the change as adoption of a low‑impact pesticide list for use in the IPM plan: "we adopted a new policy that now says the board shall adopt as a low impact pesticide list to use in their IPM plan." Board discussion was brief and the board moved on after the vote.
The vote updates the district’s approach to pesticide selection for facilities and grounds maintenance; staff noted the board could table the item for further review if members wanted more information.
