Chief Koehrsen presented a proposal presented to him by the Iowa Citizens for Community Improvement asking that the City financially participate in the cost of erecting signs designating drug free zones for placement in City parks and on public and private school grounds. Prices have been obtained from the City Sign and Traffic Department and Iowa Prison Industries. The latter would provide the signs at the lowest rate ($86 for the silk screen and $11.95 per sign) for a total cost of $4,110.80. The City's portion of this cost would be $2,055. The remainder of the cost would be solicited by the Citizens Group through contributions from churches, businesses, schools, civic groups and the general public. Donna Jones, representing the Iowa Citizens for Community Improvement, stated that this has been an effective deterrent in major cities such as Chicago. The City would be responsible for placement of the signs and for installation including the cost of the sign posts.

Burger City Clerk/Auditor PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE MINUTES March 5, 1990 5:30 p.m. Large Conference Room Members present: Chairperson Dell and Buck. Members absent: Budak. It was moved by Buck, seconded by Dell that the Agenda, as proposed, be approved. Motion carried. Chairperson Dell opened the meeting for the purposes of discussing lawn care pursuant to a petition presented to the City Council on February 5, 1990, asking 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 lawn care pesticides. Elaine Jaquith, 3148 Marigold Drive, asked that the City consider implementation of a registry system that would be set up in the Clerk/Auditor's office. Anyone wishing to be notified that an adjacent property owner will be spraying for pesticides would register in the Clerk's office who would then notify all pesticide companies of those on the list. Secondly, the petitioners requested a registry be established for those persons wishing to be notified when the City sprays City property. Councilperson Buck stated that he did not have a problem with the registry system but did see a problem in not using pesticides on City golf courses. Rick Tagtow, Director of the Waterloo Park and Forestry Board, stated that over the past several years, the use of pesticides by the Park Department has been cut in half. In fact, the Department has received considerable complaints for not spraying in City parks. He stated that the only systematic spraying of pesticides in City parks is on the City ball diamonds and golf courses. Councilperson Buck suggested that the City Attorney be requested to render an opinion as to whether or not the City can impose restrictions on the application of lawn care pesticides. Mr. Tagtow indicated that Ms. Jaquith will be attending the Park Board meeting on Wednesday, March 7th, to convey her opposition to the City' s spraying of pesticides. He stated that administratively he cannot suspend or recommend that spraying be suspended. Ms. Jaquith indicated that she has information on the use of organic chemicals, a preferred product. Larry P. Burger, Clerk/Auditor, stated that if authorized by City Council, his office would be responsible for establishing the registry system. The public would be notified indicating the availability to register. The Clerk/Auditor' s office would then notify all spraying companies of the registry. It would be the companies' responsibility to notify adjacent property owners when spraying adjacent to any of the petitioners. • • • 1ogTpny►/x1aT3 AIT° 1abing •a A11Prj •pauino CpE SEM buTgaaw alp 'aa44Twwoo am aio;aq ssauTsnq 1am1n; ou mTm •STPOTwat;O a1P0 uMET buTATddE ua1M snoTluaTosuoo A1aA a1P puP SUOTgPinba1 Tplapa; TTE uT pauTE1q a1P S1O4EOTTddE a1P0 uMET TPm pal.Pgs 'uoTgPToossy► a1P3 UMp'I uPoT1awy am bUT Uasalda1 '194so3 pog •SUOT4PTnba1 TP1apa; pup aTPls ;o �0TT uT buTAP1ds 40T1gSa1 UE0 A4TTPdTOTunw P 1amat(M uo uoTuTdo UP ai daid o� pagonlgsuT aq Aauiogw AgT3 am qpm puP TTounoD ATM aq4 ;o TPA01ddP o4 4oacgns wagsAs A14sTb01 P XISTTQE4sa a0T;;o s,1o'3Tpnt(/s[1aI3 am 4Em.
