b. Finance Update - Third Quarter FY 26 Financial Update and Forecast
Morrison provided a presentation (see attached).
Revenue and Expenditure Highlights: Citywide revenue rose by 5%to $78.2 million, driven by public
safety,wildfire reduction,and parks fees,with food and beverage tax up by 6.2% and transient lodging
tax by 10.1%. Intergovernmental revenue increased due to public works upgrades and fire
reimbursements. Service charges fell due to a mild winter, and fines and forfeitures rose from parking
enforcement. Interest on investments was only 78.7% of the prior year's level. Expenditures were within
compliance,with personnel at 70.2% and materials at 68.8% of the budget.
Fund Balances and Program Insights:The citywide net position dropped from $89.9 million to $84.8
million due to capital projects,with declines in the general,street,water, and telecommunications

funds. A capital improvement fund deficit was addressed with a $200,000 transfer. Parks & Recreation
saw a slight revenue increase and stable expenditures, maintaining a capital fund balance of
approximately$3.5 million.The Low-income Assistance Program showed $08,2B2indiscounts
applied; updated figures suggest$l|G,OOO used, indicating budget flexibility. Utility receivables totaled
$5 million,with $2.8 million past due ot over l2Odays, prompting active collection efforts.
Financial Forecast:Adjustments included reduced franchise fee and electric users tax revenue, higher
intergovernmental revenue,decreased investment interest,increased fire overtime,and $400,000in
contingency funds use.The general fund could fall below the 16.67% balance requirement by 2030,
with potential fiscal impacts from Southern Oregon University's and Ashland Community Hospital's
uncertain futures affecting utility and tax contributions.
Councilors discussed the appropriateness of using the ending fund balance for operations in relation
to the city's updated financial policy. It was clarified that the budget accounted for reducing the
accumulated COVID-era fund balance surpluses,which led the general fund balance to reach
approximately 229% of the policy minimum,a situation not expected to continue.Concerns were
raised about cost overruns on the Community Center and Pioneer Hall projects,which led to a
$20O,0OO transfer from the general fund tn the C|P fund. |t was recommended that capital
improvement projects bepouaedunti|thebudgetiannoreutob|e. |tvv0000nfirrnedLhuionyunapent
C|P project funds would roll over into the next fiscal year.The question was raised about whether o
state emergency drought declaration would unlock funding to address fire department overtime, �
which would need further investigation. �
u Parks Fee Discussion �
Rooklyn and Dials presented an overview of cost-reduction efforts undertaken by the Parks
Department during the current biennium,in the context of the$5/month Parks Fee that sunsets June
�
30,2027.The fee generates approximately$750,000 per year, representing roughly 10% of the Parks �
operating budget. Documented savings and efficiency measures included: �
�
° Reorganization of manager positions to coordinator-level roles and consolidation of �
maintenance teams from three totwo. �
• 4 shared position with Public Works saving approxinooto|y$5O,OOO
° A shared administrative coordinator position with the Finance Department
w Elimination of printed/mailed Parks&Recreation guides saving around $3O,O0Oannually
° Reduction of trash cans and other service points to reallocate staff time
* Contracting out the Oak Knoll concession stand
• Conversion of landscaping ot The Grove Ln reduce labor costs
* Purchase of three nrnm|| electric street-legal vehicles
° Rising health insurance,workers'compensation,and fuel costs were being closely monitored
and would be reflected in upcoming reports.
Discussion focused onthe question of what the Parks fee should look like going forward. Cotto
cautioned that it was premature to settle on a number,as several major budget decisions were still
pending. Commissioners commented that they could not responsibly set o fee amount until the
broader general fund picture was known, noted the absence of substantive financial mitigation

strategy discussions at the commission level to-date,and expressed support for a small joint
subcommittee Vfcouncilors and commissioners hn explore the issue. Councilors considered the need
to reverse-engineer the revenue from a defined service level over a 6-to-10-year planning horizon
(rather than just the next biennium) and emphasized the importance of public transparency during i
�
the process. Councilors expressed support for ongoing savings efforts,the joint subcommittee �
concept,and considered Parks oemn economic driver deserving strategic investment. �
Graham summarized the consensus:that the 2-year sunset of the Parks fee was originally intended to
create space for exactly this kind of deliberation and that cost savings,service-level decisions, and
revenue options must come together before the next budget cycle.All Council and Commission
members present indicated support for establishing a 'Vint working subcommittee of councilors and
park commissioners to examine the parks fee,service levels,and revenue options.Graham and
Bachman agreed to coordinate the formation of that group.
ct Food& Beverage Tax Renewal Process
Rooklyn provided an overview of the Food &Beverage Tax,a 5%tax on all prepared food and non-
alcoholic beverages in place since 1993,which is set to sunset in December 2030.Current annual
revenue distribution directs approximately$76O,OOOtu the Parks Department `(split
capital �ro1eotu and rehabilitation of existing infrastructure) and 73��of total revenue to the Street
� -
� Fund for major rehubi|itmtiVnpmUao1a. Any extension or change in allocation requires u public vote.
�
Rooklyn outlined the ballot process:the city must submit a ballot title 81 days prior to a target election
(may orNovennbn'\,which then undergoes o public appeal period before moving forward.Once a �
ballot title is filed,city staff and resources may not be used to advocate for or against the measure
but may produce neutral informational materials.
Discussion included consensus that the food and beverage tax is essential and should be maintained
without a sunset.The original intent was to support Parks and reducing their allocation would increase
pressure on the general fund. From an accounting standpoint,some members argued that the food
and beverage tax should be viewed as a key and relatively fair revenue source for the entire city.
others proposed increasing the allocation to Parks,as the connection between the tax and Parks,may
boost public support. It was suggested to examine the allowable uses of Parks' share of the tax for
more operational flexibility and the idea Of reallocating the 73% currently designated for street
maintenance to a general capital facilities fund (for broader departmental flexibility) was raised. �
There was concern regarding cumulative tax fatigue for residents,though overall support for the tax
was affirmed. |t was clarified that the upcoming council agenda would not propose removing Parks' �
25% share of the tax.
Graham noted that o community engagement process will benecessary,and that understanding
�
road investment needs would help inform the appropriate allocation split.The item will return tothe �
Council in August for further deliberation.
Councilors and Commissioners agree to extend the meeting by 30 minutes.

e. Median Maintenance and Herbicide Use
Dials provided an overview of the City's current herbicide practices,the Parks Department's Integrated
Pest Management (IPM) Policy,and the financial implications of various weed control approaches
(see attached). Rooklyn spoke about the survey results located in the packet.
° The City's pesticide ordinance (AMC 9.28) was adopted in 1996.The Parks Department adopted its
|PK4 policy in 2010, revised in 2011 to make synthetic herbicide use o |oat resort,with a volunteer
coordination program established in parallel generating over 12,000 volunteer hours annually.
m Current herbicides in use include C000ron /npre-emergent powder) and Ranger Pro (containing
glyphosate), applied via backpack sprayer by licensed pesticide applicators with full protective
equipment,weather-dependent and posted 48 hours before and after application.
° In 2024,the Parks Commission approved an exception to allow herbicide application on city-
owned medians and parking areas maintained by Parks staff. This expanded use accounts for the
increase in acres treated in2O25.
° Since the expansion, median staff time dropped from 40 to 16 hours per month. Rock median
conversions on Ashland Street (costing approximately$11,000) eliminated ongoing maintenance
needs in those areas.
• Stopping herbicide use entirely was estimated to require one additional full-time staff member, �
and the volunteer program ia currently otcapacity.
m A GIS-generated map was presented showing all herbicide application sites since 2024. �
Councilors and Commissioners agreed to extend the meeting by another 30 minutes.
Public Testimony was received from nine speakers,the majority of whom urged the city to halt
herbicide use. Speakers cited health risks associated with glyphosate including links to non-Hodgkin's
lymphoma and other conditions cited by the WHO and UC Berkeley.Speakers also noted increased
spray locations between 2023 and 2025,concerns about exposure to children, pets,and sensitive
residents,and the vagueness of AMC 9.28. Speakers referenced a community packet with research,
petition signatures from 694 residents,letters from organizations including the Ashland Bellevue
Grange,and o draft ordinance proposing elimination of pesticide use. Recommended alternatives
included native drought-tolerant plantings, mulch,weed steamers,weed torches,and OMRI-Iisted
organic herbicides. One speaker offered a counterpoint, noting that the volume of glyphosate used
citywide in small,that spot treatment in parking lots and around utility boxes is categorically different
from treating open play areas,and that g|yphoaote'o soil chemistry limits its persistence when applied
correctly.
Council and Commission discussion considered the adoption of the Parks IPM as a unified citywide
policy and whether there was a downside to doing so. Rooklyn agreed a single policy would be useful,
with exceptions to be worked out through collaboration with departments.Commissioners clarified
the 2024 exception that brought medians under the Parks IPM umbrella.Councilors raised the
prospect ofsuspending glyphosate use in medians and parking strips while the policy process plays
out. Dials acknowledged that a short suspension would be manageable but noted increased staff
time and the potential for windshield damage associated with weed-eating in parking lots.

Mayor Graham summarized the next steps,confirmed by head nods of members present:
• The Council will take up the question of whether to halt the use of herbicides/pesticides in
medians and parking strips until the city has a formal policy decision, potentially at the next
meeting.
• Staff will bring the Parks Department IPM Policy to the Council for consideration as a unified
citywide policy,following the mid-June herbicide discussion.This includes coordinating with
city departments to assess where exceptions may be appropriate.
• Staff will initiate a process for redesigning the city's medians to reduce maintenance,water
use and potential reliance on herbicides.
III. Adjournment of Study Session.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:00 pm.

Timeline
1996: City Adopted Ordinance 2790
1996-2009: Herbicides routinely used in city and park areas
(parks, cemetaries, parking lots, playgrounds, medians)
2010: APRC adopted IPM policy that made herbicide use the
last option.
2011: Policy revised to replace synthetic pesticides in all Ashland
Parks with non-synthetic with a few exceptions.
APRC Integrated Pest Management Policy (IPM)
•
Policy creation
• 1 FTE volunteer coordinator position was created in 2010 after policy
adoption to oversee volunteers with a focus on weed management.
• Currently: 52-60 work parties per year; 12,000+ hours (5FTE)
• Definitions:
• Synthetic: chemical
• Non-synthetic: Natural
• OMRI Herbicides: natural
Herbicides used:
Casaron: also known as dichlobenil Pre-emergent powder used to
prevent weed germination
Ranger Pro: Glyphosate is an active ingredient in this product

IPM Policy revisions throughout the years:
Policy Revision
Per commission approval on February 18,2011:
_ The commission authorized staff to replace synthetic pesticides in a//Ashland parks with organic
• products,using the application standards outlined in the existing integrated Pest Management
Policy,with the exceptions of Oak Knoll Golf Course and poison oak in summer months.
Policy Revision
Per commission approval on April 28,2014:
• : The commission approved,for the 2014 season only,allowing an APRC IPM policy exemption for
staff use of non-organic herbicides in two requested areas:the pitching warm-up area and the
warning tracks at North Mountain Park.
• • Policy Revision
• Per commission approval on May 22,2017:
The commission approved the use of synthetic wasp spray in parks as a last resort for public safety.
Policy Revision
Per commission approval on June 13,2024:
The commission modified the APRC IPM POLICY to apply only to City Council designated park lands
(parks,trails,and open space).

Financial & Staffing Impact
Labor Reductions: After the changes to the Parks IPM policy in June
2024 (where medians were included), hours on medians reduced from
40 hours per month to 16 hours per month.
' Infrastructure Improvements: Rock medians installed in Oct. 2025 have
required no ongoing maintenance. Cost was around $11,000 for
materials and staffing.
r �
Current Care alongside Herbicide Use:
Other median maintenance: 10 hours a week x 1 person doing weed
eating, hedging, edging, curbs, mowing, irrigation repairs.
Parking lot maintenance: 8 hours a week x 1 person doing weed eating,
.; hedging, edging, curbs, mowing, irrigation repairs.
�r t.
Financial & Staffing Impact
• Since utilizing herbicides as a "tool" in city areas,thickness of weeds is
about 1/3 of what it used to be. Less weeds go to seed and our staff is able
to reallocate the saved time to other tasks.
Future Staffing Projections: Operating without herbicide application in
J�
a medians, parking lots, and other non-park areas is estimated to require
an addition full-time employee.
p Volunteer Limitations:The volunteer program is at maximum capacity,
managing 52 to 60 work parties annually and over 12,000 hours
f4- �ti
' a (equivalent to 5 FTE) of volunteer service throughout the parks system.
4"£
v Expanding this program to offset manual weeding would require an
additional full-time employee.

HERBICIDE AND PESTICIDE USE IN THE CITY OF ASHLAND

Intrnrli�rtinn
In June 2024, the City began backpack spraying the cancer-causing glyphosate
herbicide on landscaped City properties along streets. In 2025, this included 22 street
medians (primarily on N. Main, Siskiyou Blvd, and Ashland Street).
The current pnlides governing herbl`ddec lnrlNde: the 2.1. Park Department
Integrated Pest Management Policy (created by a citizen initiated ad hoc committee)
and the Ashland Municipal Code (AMC) Chapter 9.28 Pesticide Policy. Medians and
other City property are under AMC 9.28, which is inconsistent with and weaker than the
Parks Department I PM Policy.
In 2025 Parks Department technicians filed 18 Pesticide Application Records.
These describe herbicide spraying with Glyphosate on parts of 22 street medians, 2
parking lots, and other landscaped areas. On these City properties, Glyphosate is
intended to control weeds in the shrub beds, in cracks, along curbs, and around the
haws of City infractriiirfeire (p oles, control units, etc.) The tntal amount of GI%inhneate
applied was 4.47 gallons, diluted with 178 gallons of water. [Tanks on a backpack
sprayer can hold approximately 4-5 gallons, so the Parks Department technicians likely
had to refill them numerous times.]
Thic ig nn increase of herbicide nnnlicatirms from the 2023 and 2024 records Ac
public awareness has grown, over 600 residents have expressed concerns, and
community members have begun to organize groups and research solutions and
alternatives to these herbicide applications.
In response to the City's invitatlnn fnr rn,�wbllc comments, we have in�cliuded civ
recommendations from the Eco Friendly Ashland Group.

GLYPHOSATE DANGERS TO HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENT
• Glyphosate was classified as "probably carcinogenic to humans" by the
World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer
(IARC) in 2015.
• Bayer, the current maker of glyphosate has paid more than $11 billion in
lawsuits from nearly 100,000 cancer victims who developed non-Hodgkin
lymphoma after using glyphosate-based herbicides, with thousands more
cases still pending.
• The most commonly cited study stating the safety of glyphosate was retracted
from Regulatory Toxicology and Pharmacology in November 2025 due to
evidence that it was ghost written and manipulated by Monsanto, the maker
of glyphosate at the time.
• There is evidence that glyphosate and glyphosate-based herbicides (GBH)
increase the risk of diseases of the kidney and liver, and impacts the
reproductive, endocrine, neurological, and other metabolic systems.
Further strong evidence finds that glyphosate and GBHs cause genetic
damage, oxidative stress, and hormonal disruption.
• A 2019 publication in the journal Mutation Research found that people with the
highest levels of glyphosate exposure had a 41% increased risk of
developing non-Hodgkin lymphoma. These elevated risks were seen mostly
in occupational pesticide applicators, who handled glyphosate-based
herbicides repeatedly over years.
• A study published in 2022 by the Centers For Disease Control and Prevention
found glyphosate residues in more than 80 percent of urine samples it
collected from US adults and children.
• A 2020 EPA report concluded that glyphosate harms 93 percent of
endangered species and 96 percent of the habitat they rely on.
• A 2020 study by the US Geological Survey found glyphosate in 74 percent
of American streams tested.
• Glyphosate is toxic to bees, who are greatly exposed to glyphosate
products. It has been found to cause lethal effects to a variety of bee species,
and impairs behaviors such as the ability to navigate, sleep, and digest.

Short and Long Term Recommendations
To Eliminate Herbicide Use on City Property in Ashland
• Declare a moratorium on chemical herbicide and pesticide use for weed control on
City property while policy decisions are being made.
• Adopt the Parks Department's Integrated Pest Management(IPM) Policy as the
single, City-wide policy for herbicide and pesticide use.
- If our Parks and Open Space can be successfully managed 99.25% of the time
without synthetic herbicides and pesticides, then the management of City
Property should be able to accomplish that as well.
• Consider alternatives to chemical herbicides and pesticides on City property.
- Consider ecological factors in landscaping design, choosing regional native
plants that are drought tolerant, with low maintenance needs, and high
pollinator/habitat value.
- Techniques we recommend include: mulching, design changes, weed steamers,
weed torches, manual weeding, Hula Hoe, and organic OMRI listed herbicides.
- This is an opportunity for Ashland to lead by example, educate others on the
value of native and pollinator plants, and be one more reason why people love
to visit and live here.
• Consider creating a short-term task force or ad hoc committee in order to bring
relevant data, ideas and collaboration into the planning process.
• Ensure that the pesticide policies are fully implemented and accessible to the public.
- Improve the record keeping form used to describe each herbicide and pesticide
application and make reports easily accessible to the public.
- Ensure the record keeping forms are filled out correctly, e.g. location codes
written down, and one location per application record.
- Conduct "Pesticide Use Annual Reviews" as required by the Parks Department's
IPM Policy and the Ashland Municipal Code (9.28.080). Currently they are not
being done.
• Explore using some of the Transient Lodging Tax funds, if needed, to treat our
landscaped medians, islands, and parking lots as an opportunity to add to the
beautification of Ashland for the benefit of visitors, local pedestrians, and pets.

Dear City Council and Leadership of Ashland, April 29, 2026
Ashland, Oregon is a thriving community of scenic beauty and cultural significance.According to the
city's 2050 climate vision,Ashland aims to be a resilient community that has zero net greenhouse gas
emissions,embraces equity, protects healthy ecosystems,and creates opportunities for future
generations.As an important part of this work,Ashland stewards over 800 acres of public lands,
including parks,trails, medians, and walkways.
Ashland's work in land stewardship is supported by Bee City USA,an initiative of the Xerces Society for
Invertebrate Conservation.As an affiliate of Bee City USA,Ashland is part of a nationwide community of
over 450 cities and campuses working to conserve native pollinators by providing them with healthy
habitat that is rich in a variety of native plants, provides nest sites, and is protected from pesticides.The
Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation,the host organization for this initiative, is a national
nonprofit dedicated to protecting invertebrate wildlife.We are recognized as a global leader in
pollinator conservation by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization and USDA—Natural
Resources Conservation Service,and we are honored to use our collective expertise to serve
communities in their pollinator conservation efforts.
In city landscapes, Bee City USA and the Xerces Society support the use of verifiable, ecologically-
responsible Integrated Pest Management,or IPM, as the best way to reduce pesticide impacts to
pollinators.The City of Ashland honors this commitment to ecologically-responsible Integrated Pest
Management in its nearly 800-acre system of public parks,trails,and open spaces and maintains an
impressive track record in these areas. For example,these lands are 99.25%synthetic-pesticide-free,
OMRI-approved pesticide products are prioritized when needed, and a robust series of prevention and
design strategies are utilized to reduce pest problems and the need for pesticide use.
We understand that translating IPM methods to other city-owned landscapes—including medians,
sidewalks,and utility access points—presents its own set of unique challenges. In addition to being
maintained for their cultural value and fire resilience,these spaces often have stricter standards for
maintaining visibility and ensuring reliable access to critical utility services.Some areas may be difficult
to access and also present challenges for ensuring that maintenance activities do not endanger city staff,
passing cars,or nearby pedestrians.While these unique constraints may change the way management
activities are implemented, Integrated Pest Management still provides a valuable framework for
preventing, monitoring, and managing pest and weed problems with a least-toxic approach. Bee City
USA and the Xerces Society supports the use of the IPM framework for all lands and properties that
affiliates manage,from parks and open spaces to roadways and sidewalks.

XERCES
SOCIETY
for Invertebrate Conservation Protecting the life that sustains us
For many Bee City and Bee Campus communities,weeds are of particular management concern.When
it comes to tackling problematic weeds in public spaces,the following tactics are non-chemical and low
impact options that other affiliate communities have successfully implemented:
• Shift planting composition in landscaped areas so that sites require less frequent maintenance,
to achieve better plant coverage,and/or to reduce the conditions that allow weeds to thrive.
Utilize the Ecoregional Revegetation Application (ERA)to assist in plant selection. For Ashland's
medians,consider low-maintenance, deer-resistant,and drought tolerant species such as
bearberry(Arctostaphylos uva-ursi),white sagebrush (Artemisia ludoviciana),creeping barberry
(Mahonia repens),deergrass(Muhlenbergia rigens), prostrate ceanothus (Ceonothus
prostratus),cutleaf daisy(Erigeron composttus), and yellow rabbitbrush (Chrysothamnus
viscidiflorus).
• Smother and exclude weeds with locally available mulches or"living mulch"ground covers.
• Utilize a thermal weeding device that kills weeds with steam or(where safe)flame.
• Utilize volunteers to remove weeds manually in accessible sites(where safe).
• To garner support for reduced use of herbicides,use signage and branding to increase public
support for a less manicured aesthetic.
Each community is unique,and Ashland, Oregon is no exception. Each successful IPM program is shaped
both by the shared values of the community and the land management strategies that prove effective.
Our staff with Bee City USA and the Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation are available to you as
a resource at any stage in your IPM journey.We look forward to working with you as members of the
same team to ensure that management in the city works for people, pollinators, and other wildlife.
Please feel free to contact us for further discussion.

Dear City Council and Leadership of Ashland,
I am writing in support of reducing the use of pesticides in the City of Ashland. I was contacted by a
resident of Ashland,who's working with a group to advocate for this cause.
Over the last decade,the City of Wilsonville has taken many steps to reduce the use of pesticides,which
can help inform other communities. Examples of these steps include the following:
1. In 2018,the City's Integrated Pest Management (IPM) plan was adopted,which is currently
being updated.
2. Prioritize early detection and rapid response with emerging pests,such as Mediterranean oak
borer and emerald ash borer.We have a staff working group devoted to these two pests. In
conjunction with the working group,we've partnered extensively with researchers.
3. Emphasize the use of cultural and mechanical practices as an alternative to pesticides. Examples
include:
1. Goat browsing
2. Flail mower and remote-controlled mower for difficult to access areas
3. Weed steamer
4. Volunteers
5. Community environmental education and outreach (e.g., Bee Stewards program and Bee
City USA)
4. Since 2019, City staff have prepared an annual IPM activity report.The report documents the
City's efforts to reduce the use of pesticides. (Within the following link,you can find the City's
IPM plan and activity reports: https://www.wilsonvilleoregon.gov/natural/page/integrated-
pest-ma nagement).
Thanks for your consideration of this matter. Please contact me if you have any questions. I can be

Dear Ashland City Councilors-
Ashland has long had a policy of pesticide-free parks, providing safe places for
people and pollinators. Now,with the City's increased use of herbicides on public
property that is in proximity to people and pollinators, Pollinator Project Rogue Valley
is joining other Ashland residents asking for a pause on the practice of spraying
glyphosate in the medions and other places that have the potential to impact the
health of oil residents.
We ask that the City host at least one Study Session to discuss this practice and
consider other ways to deal with weeds. Ashland can learn from other cities- both
Eugene and Wilsonville implemented strong Integrated Pests management (IPM)
policies years ago.
This is an important policy discussion that impacts the health and well-being of our
children and families,our wildlife and ecosystems. Please listen to Ashland residents
who are willing to work with the City to both encourage clarity of related policies and
to work toward a plan that includes pesticide use reduction or elimination.
The product being used,Ranger Pro,contains 41%glyphosate. Please review this study

discussed and affirmed that:
As a group we are in favor of moving toward a pesticide
free community. We know it is possible and have reviewed
several municipalities elsewhere that are and have been
pesticide free for several years.
It has come to our attention that there is a group of
residents who are working on a draft proposal to present to
the Council land the Parks department for reconsideration of
the recent change of AMC 9.28 and the June. 13 [20257. ]
revision of the IPM. Both of those documents are unclear.
This is an important policy discussion. that impacts the
health and well being of our children and families, our
wildlife and ecosystem.
A few of our members have spoken to elected bodies
regarding the recent votes to increase the use of pesticides
on public lands.
On behalf of the Ashland Bellview Grange #759, please
consider the efforts that our local residents are putting forth
to both encourage clarity of related policies and to work
toward a plan that includes pesticide use reduction or
elimination.
Thank you for your consideration.

From Shannon Rio
Decently I learned about the use of glyphosate by the city of
Ashland as a way to control weeds. This product named
Ranger Pro is toxic to bees, insects and girds. As a wildlife
educator who teaches classes and guides people on trips to
learn about and protect birds and all things in the natural
environment,nt, this is not acceptable. Using it in public places
can also have detrimental effects on pets, such as dogs.
Living in Ashland for 44 years I have been an active member
in this community that seeps to promote a healthy lifestyle..
'here are ether ways to deal with weeds that are not toxic
and frankly, I find weeds much more acceptable to using
anything that decreases populations of needed species, such
as bees and birds# Not only am I willing to write this letter of
concern but I cam also willing to be in a work party that would
do the work that you believe is needed to reduce weeds. -
Please contact me by phone or text at 541840 -4655 or email
me at shannonrio@acol.com if you would life to meet with me in
person. It is urgent to stop using this product. The species it
harms is necessary for the entire ecosystem which includes

From: Tom Dimitre
Re: Use of pesticides and herbicides in Ashland
I am writing to support a ban on pesticide and herbicide use on City of Ashland outdoor areas,
including medians,parks, and other areas where pesticides/herbicides are currently used.
There is ample evidence to show that these pesticides/herbicides are dangerous and harmful to
human health, as well as the health of wildlife.
For example,Roundup, also known as glyphosate,has been found harmful in dozens of civil
lawsuit,with Bayer, the manufacture,paying out billions of dollars in damages. Though
municipalities have not yet been sued,to the best of my knowledge,they are certainly potential
liable if they know of the risks to human health and continue to use,Roundup and other deadly
chemicals anyway.
A ban is the only way to ensure that these dangerous chemicals are not sprayed in our
community.All of these products have "inert"chemicals,which are unspecified,undeclared and
unknown. As bad as the known chemicals used in Roundup are bad enough, the impacts of the
inert chemicals is difficult to ascertain,without knowing what they are. There is a reason that the
producers of chemicals refuse to name these "inert"ingredients. They are clearly afraid of the
public and regulators knowing what they are because then it would be easier to determine their
toxicity.
In addition,the use of herbicides and pesticides have been found to interfere with pollinators,
including bees. These chemicals disrupt the food chain and life cycles of these important
animals.
The precautionary principle dictates caution when allowing the use of herbicides/pesticides in
town. It asks us to beware of the unknown impacts of using these toxic substances. However,in
the case of glyphosate,we are well beyond the precautionary principle. We already know that it
is dangerous to human and other life. We know that billions upon billions of dollars have been
paid out in damages due to this danger. And,we know that ethics and morality dictate that we
not poison ourselves by using these chemicals.
Please support a ban of the use of pesticides and herbicides on our city parks and medians. Let's
ensure that folks that live in town and who visit us are protected from these harmful chemicals.
I have attached the links of numerous articles that cite to court cases and scientific literature
regarding the risks and toxicity of glyphosate.
Thank you.

10 COMPILED LETTERS FROM THE ASHLAND COMMUNITY
---------------------------------------
Dear City of Ashland & Parks & Recreation;
I encourage--and implore!--you to rethink the use of Glyphosate or any other pesticide
in our beautiful city! It's not for nothing we are a Bee City USA member and many of our
residents have pollinator gardens.
The recent reversion back to pesticides after a 2011 change that instigated the use of
organic methods is a direct threat to the pollinator insects that ensure all are fed! This
and the fact that herbicide-resistant weeds have proliferated!
There is much information available re: the use of chemical-free landscaping. Please do
take the time to explore this and revert back to the practice of not using toxic chemicals.
Sincerely,
Lorna Romano, long-time Ashland resident
---------------------------------------
1, Paul Crafft, residing at 45 Wimer St. Ashland Oregon, totally oppose the use and
storage of glyphosate in this town.
---------------------------------------
To whom it may concern,
I do not approve or support the use of any herbicide that contains glyphosate on any
city property where people are going to be, including medians. I expect this to be an
herbicide free town. We already know that these chemicals cause cancer so why are
we using them??
Esther Goldberg,
Ashland, OR
---------------------------------------
---------------------------------------
Thanks very much for the letter in the May Sneak Preview explaining alternatives to the
cancer-causing Glyphosate. Included were native plants, that thrive in our area even in
droughts, and that help other native plants and animals. Also included were mulching,
design changes, weed torches or steamers, organic OMRI listed herbicides, and
manual weeding.
Chemical poisons do not magically limit their toxicity to unwanted life. Besides causing
cancer in humans, pesticides kill earth organisms that keep soil fertile and soft. Without
fungi, bacteria, earthworms and other earth organisms, less new soil will be formed from
dead plants and animals. There will be less burrowing to keep soil loose and able to
soak in water.
The results are hard dirt, dust storms, floods, droughts, and algae-laced lakes and
streams, poisoned not only by erosion of pesticides but from increased fertilizer meant
to correct the resultant poor soil. The fertilizer washed into our water supplies increases
algae, which results in not enough oxygen for fish, and the algae itself can become
poisonous. This has been causing many problems for nature and our survival
downstream.
Let's have our road medians welcome residents and visitors by sustainable landscaping
rather than using methods that increase our chances of eventual demise.
Margery &Tom Winter
Ashland
---------------------------------------
i can't believe that we have to petition the city again regarding glyphosates...this is
shameful. please check the history of the city of ashland and comply. thank you.
-suzia aufderheide, Ashland
---------------------------------------
We live right next to these medians and are completely against any spraying of
glyphosate! Our Mama friend just got over battling non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, which is
caused by glyphosate products such as round up. There is no place for poison in
Ashland!" -Vika Raskova, Ashland
---------------------------------------
Glyphosate is known to cause harmful health effects. This product is not safe to be used
around humans or animals. I'll be honest, I have occasionally used Roundup on poison
oak and blackberries that occur on my property when I am unable to eradicate those
plants in other ways. However, I dislike having to do so and I do not believe that
Glyphosate should be used in public spaces or its use encouraged by public entities,
not only because it is harmful but because its use on public property is large-scale.
Glyphosate's use exposes both the people using it and the people around them to harm.
I do not want this stuff used by the city. This chemical is also expensive. Surely there
are better options. I encourage the city to seek options to the use of glyphosate in our
community and come up with a better plan. Thank you, Nancy Soares Ashland
---------------------------------------
The EPA has been compromised if you haven't noticed. This sounds like the hoax of
DDT all over again. How come Monsanto's earlier research scientists documented the
danger and had their research buried. Lot more history here. Follow the dollar. White
Phosphorus is well known for its many dangers. It is over used and we are still learning
of its potential downfalls to both health and environment. There are alternatives. And
the city is compromising on their earlier stance and promise to their citizens. This is not
an extremist agenda. It is a coverup like the tobacco industry. Billions of $$ in
settlements to date. Truth is some of us wish to limit exposure to toxins to us and our
environment where we can. Mostly with our petroleum addiction it is a lost cause but
one needs to fight the good fight all the same. Dear Ashland don't be duped.
-Stephen Bacon, Ashland
---------------------------------------
Absolutely! No glycophosphates in our community. Let's stand for higher standards! The
information about its toxicity is well known. European countries have banned it. It's a no
brainer folks! -Kathryn Casternovia, Ashland
---------------------------------------
Yes, please stop spraying toxic chemicals in our town. Many of us are still raising
children and do NOT want them exposed to these chemicals! No one should have to be
exposed to them. -Ellen Read, Ashland
Full Text of Petition to Ashland City Council and Parks Commission with 668 Signatures
Link: https://c.org/D5bs4MncKm
City of Ashland: Stop spraying toxic chemicals like Glyphosate on public lands for
routine landscape maintenance
The citizens of Ashland are largely health conscious and environmentally proactive. We object to the
newly adopted practice of spraying Glyphosate (the active ingredient in Roundup) on the city's
median strips to inhibit weed growth and want the city to:
1. Halt the glyphosate spraying in our medians and highly trafficked areas
2. Use safer,more environmentally protective options for all routine maintenance going
forward
3. Prioritize drought tolerant,pollinator friendly landscaping and maintain our Bee City USA
status
4. Discontinue the landscaping tactic of removing plants from medians and replacing with rocks
Human Risk:
Glyphosate,which was recently used on our medians and which is the active ingredient in Round Up,
is banned in many countries around the world. It is linked to certain cancers like Non Hodgkin
lymphoma, and is involved in many lawsuits where the injured plaintiffs have won.
•In 2015,the World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC)
classified glyphosate as "probably carcinogenic to humans".
•As of late 2025,Bayer (the owner of Round Up) has paid more than $11 billion to resolve nearly
100,000 Roundup claims,with thousands more still pending.
Environmental Risk:
• In addition to human risks,Glyphosate poses significant risk to pollinators,including disruption of
their gut biome, and inhibition of their navigation abilities.
•Ashland has been affiliated with Bee City USA since 2015, and as such has made a commitment to
reduce the use of pesticides and to have an integrated pest management plan that expands the use of
non-chemical pest management methods.
As a Bee City USA,Ashland should preserve the habitats and food sources we already have for
pollinators.The increased use of herbicides that we are seeing does not fit in with our commitments to
pollinators.We should be setting a better example than this as land stewards.
There are many options for natural landscaping,including locally available,non-toxic and bee friendly
substitutes for Glyphosate.
Therefore:
With all the known risks and controversy surrounding glyphosate and around herbicides and pesticides
in general, we call on the city of Ashland to eliminate glyphosate and similar herbicides from your
landscape maintenance practice.
Ashland's citizens want you to uphold the city's commitment to using the least harmful methods of
management and help keep our community healthy and safe,which also includes considering the
wildlife and insects that share these spaces.
