Board to receive study results on broadcast spraying of 'Endozaplam' on open space
Summary
Staff said a two-year study into broadcast spraying of a herbicide called 'Endozaplam' on north-county open space is nearing completion and that results will be presented at a future meeting (likely September) as an informational item, with opportunity for board feedback on implications and next steps.
Staff told the board they have run a roughly two-year study examining the effects of broadcast spraying of a chemical the transcript names as 'Endozaplam' on north-county open space properties and that the study is near completion. The staff speaker said they expect to bring the results to the board in September as an informational item and that the Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program would present findings and explain program authority and application procedures.
Board members asked whether the item would be informational or could include decisions; staff said it would likely be informational but that the board could provide feedback and that in some cases that feedback might prompt further consideration if there are recommendations that change the program's approach. Staff encouraged public engagement when the item is scheduled.
