Oakland's Public Works Committee to Address Pesticides on 3/22
Pesticide Talks Continue in Oakland
Discussion of Oakland's pesticide ordinance has been postponed to March 22nd at 12:30pm. The topic had been on the Committee's agenda for March 8th, but it was removed at the last minute. The ordinance will be rewritten for the next phase of discussion because a requirement for
an Environmental Impact Report has been added to the
ordinance, and likely also because the latest version
does not address concerns that Public Works Chair and City Councilmember Nancy Nadel had previously raised. Thus, this topic was not to be discussed at this week's City Council
meeting, and will also be postponed there
until at least March 29th.
The City's earlier claim that "spraying" is not implied in the ordinance has been invalidated completely as they now describe the process as involving "spritzing." Edible plants have not been removed from lists of of treatable plants in recent editions of the ordinance. Read more
