understudy, hereby petition the City Council to adopt an ordinance for
City-owned/managed and privately -owned property within the City's jurisdiction
to control/restrict the use of lawncare pesticides.
Ms. Jaquith stated that she had approximately 300 names signed on the above
petition. She continued that this is not just an environmental issue, but a
civil rights issue just as is the issue of not allowing smoking in various
buildings. She stated that in her neighborhood there were several cases of
sick and deceased animals from lawn spraying.
E. J. Gallagher, 801 Sheridan, stated that he was speaking on behalf of the
Sierra Club. Gallagher continued that he was speaking against lawncare
pesticide use. Gallagher suggested a study committee be formed to look into
alternative solutions, right -to -know packaging and warning signs on lawns that
use pesticides.
A resident of 811 West Third Street spoke against the use of pesticides by
stating that this is just another issue such as clean air, destroying of the
amazon trees, toxic waste cleanups, clean water, and refuse disposal that
concerns the citizens of the state and the country. He continued that on
December 20, 1989, the state laid the groundwork to allow cities to pass
ordinances controlling the use of pesticides and that it is time for the City
to take its first step in that direction.
Mike Roberson, 1127 West Seventh Street, spoke against the use of pesticides by
lawncare companies.
Mark Linda, of the Black Hawk Health Department, stated that the state now
requires certain signage and that he would be willing to work with the various
organizations and interested groups to come up with any recommendations that
may help this issue.
Following discussion, the following vote was taken. Ayes: Six. Absent:
Dell. Motion carried.

considered and passed for the third time.
Prior to a vote, the following discussion was heard.
Sue Fleege, 3526 Pheasant Lane, asked once again that the Council consider her
recommendation regarding signage every 750 feet. Fleege continued that at the
present time, this would allow her one additional sign in the corridor and an
opportunity for three additional signs in the future.
Hugh Copeland, representing the Gateway Committee, stated that any additional
signage allowed on the corridor would jeopardize the intent of the corridor and
the open -space look. Copeland asked the Council to pass the ordinance the same
as the first two readings and place a two-year stoppage of any additional signs
in the corridor until after the highway is constructed and opened.
Greg Willshire, an account executive with Display Signs, stated that at the
present time there are five structures available in the corridor with the
spacing of 750 feet apart. Willshire stated that the Council should think of
the business people and their ability to advertise in making this decision.
